Support Historic Pennsylvania Avenue's Arabber's Market on Sundays from 9 am to 3 pm:
The Pennsylvania Avenue Redevelopment Collaborative (PARC) invites all to attend the Arabber's Market on Sundays from 9 am to 3 pm. This was designed for the community, especially church-goers.
PARC was established in 1999 to help rejuvenate the Pennsylvania Avenue business corridor, a strip which has undergone tumultuous urban blight. However, many believe that 'the Avenue' can be great again. Historically, this was the 'mecca' for black folks back in the day.
FMI, please call 410.669.5397.

You gotta love Stacy Smith, the Executive Director of Communities Organized to Improve Life, Inc. (COIL), an umbrella group in Southwest Baltimore.
While I’m sure I’ve seen her somewhere before – a board meeting, City Hall, school – last night was the first time I got a chance to see her in action. And boy, isn't she so on-point.
