TGR: Historic West Baltimore TOWN HALL Meeting Set for Tonight at Sharon:
Call it a situation of class if you want. Many of the city’s Westside residents could, however, live anywhere they so choose. Yet, for any number of reasons, they choose to live in the vicinity of Pennsylvania Avenue, West Franklin Street, Warwick Avenue, Reisterstown Road and North Avenue. And they tend to believe that it’s not where one lives, but how one lives. For some odd reason, some tend to have the audacity to think that there is still some beauty – beauty worth investing in – right here in the heart of the ‘hood.
Tonight, we’ll talk about these and other issues at the TOWN HALL Meeting at Sharon Baptist Church, 1373 North Stricker Street in Historic West Baltimore from 6 to 8 pm. Representatives of various Baltimore City agencies will be present.
FMI, call Doni Glover at 443.858.2684.

Op/Ed: A few words about Ken Harris and Our Stop-The-Violence Campaign:
Normally, when our community suffers such a high profile loss due to senseless violence as we did this past weekend, I will take the opportunity to immediately write and send out a few words. I wasn’t able to do so right away regarding the murder of Ex-Councilman Ken Harris and I realize now that one of the reasons was that this one hit a little bit close to home to me. Read in Full >>
