On THE COVER: a summer view of popular Thames Street in Fell’s Point. Photo by Erik Zygmont.
This is Baltimore – southeast Baltimore, to be specific.
It’s smack in the middle of the atlantic coast. It gets hot and it gets cold, but it doesn’t get too hot or too cold. Snow is common enough to fall a few times every year, but it’s enough of an anomaly to bring with it a measure of chaos.
Lights turn red and drivers don’t immediately stop. There’s no hurry to step on it when the lights turn green, either.
Some residents have lived here their whole lives; others never would have guessed that they would end up in Upper Fell’s Point or Canton or Highlandtown.
Neighborhoods in the Southeast remain mixed, even amid gentrification. a dual-income-no-kids couple in a newly-renovated $550,000 row home lives next door to an elderly woman who has been in the same two-story home since childhood. Canton’s famous orange Lotus is seen parked on the street with mid-range vehicles and old junkers.
There are diverse and numerous night-life options. Within walking distance are high-end bistros with post-industrial minimalist decor, where subtly-applied hair gel and locally-sourced ingredients might inspire friends to put some sweat equity into developing that new app. There are “shot-and-a-beer” joints, hanging on decades after fueling the Southeast’s working-class backbone with the breakfast of champions.
In southeast Baltimore, all kinds of services and conveniences--food delivery, transportation, trash pickup, etc.--are at residents’ fingertips. But there are inconveniences too. The streets are torn up as water lines are updated. They are repaved, and residents are thrilled to have their streets again. a couple months later, the “no parking” signs go up again for gas and electrical work.
Keeping it all relatively balanced is the community. When a person has a problem in southeast Baltimore, she can bet that she’s not the only one. There are others with the same concerns.Folks work together for solutions, or at the very least share their frustrations. your neighborhood community association is often the best resource for tackling city-life frustrations. It’s also an ideal source of information on all those benefits that make city-living so worthwhile--the block parties, festivals, neighborhood clean-ups, greening projects, performances, art installations and flea markets.
To help you figure out the small stuff, we have assembled this reference guide. May it serve you well as a starting point as you discover southeast Baltimore.

Baltimore’s public library system is the Enoch Pratt Free Library, one of the oldest in the nation, founded by industrialist Enoch Pratt in 1884. Pratt’s first branch opened in Canton in 1886; the branch, which sits in the middle of O’Donnell Street at Ellwood avenue, is the only one of Pratt’s four original branches still operating; it is currently receiving an historically accurate renovation.
all Enoch Pratt Free Library branches offer public computers, free wi-fi (ByO laptop or smartphone) and programs for adults, children and teens. Many branches offer bilingual programs. Southeast anchor Library, Orleans Street and Central Library offer free computer classes.
Each year, the library hosts about 100 authors at its 21 branches and Central Library.

8 OUR BALTIMORE | FEBRUaRy 2015
Restaurantsat a community meeting a little over a year ago, a resident questioned
Maj. Bill Davis, then commander of the Southeast District, on the
numerous patrol cars seen parked outside of eating establishments
across the Southeast.
If all these police are inside the Southeast’s burger joints, pizzerias,
taco stands and seafood shacks, the questioner implied, then who the
heck is out watching the streets?
Nothing in the major’s demeanor or posture indicated that the
question made him the least bit uncomfortable. He replied immediately
and as if the answer were the most obvious thing in the world--no
hemming, hawing or rephrasing the question.
“Most of those officers aren’t from the Southeast,” he said. “They’re
coming from all over the city. They just come here for the food.
Everybody knows that the Southeast has the best food.”
The eyes of the meeting-goers, which had taken on skeptical
squints, relaxed. Lips parted and released “ah”s. Heads nodded in
acknowledgment. Knowing glances were exchanged.
Thoughts turned from robberies, smashed car windows and drug
sales to the fresh, chopped onions at Fell’s Point’s Tortilleria Sinaloa,
stacks of buttery pancakes at Jimmy’s Restaurant, perfect steamed
crabs at Scooter’s Seafood, Coney Island hot dogs at Highlandtown’s G
& a Restaurant, and Salt’s duck-fat fries.
The atmosphere lightened, the rest of the questions put to the major
that evening were of a different bent: “What can we do as citizens to
make things easier for the police?” or “I just want to say that I’ve seen the
cops on the (Insert hundred block and street name here), and they’ve
been doing a fantastic job.”
Filippo’s recently renovated their bar and re-vamped their menu, with offerings such as sizzling fajitas. Photo courtesy of Filippo’s

RestaurantsMaj. Davis’ statement was true. The Southeast does have the best
food.
For one thing, the area was, is and will be a melting pot of cultures
and ethnicities, all of which bring their own cuisines to share with
the neighbors. There is nothing like trying a flavor outside of your
own experience and expectations yet refined over the centuries to a
perfection you would never have considered had you not ended up in
this day and age in southeast Baltimore.
We have food from asia, Latin america, africa and India. Sashimi,
empanadas, pho, garam masala, carbonara and Ethiopian wat are on
the menu in southeast Baltimore.
We have pricey modern bistros, inexpensive food trucks, pricey food
trucks, inexpensive modern bistros and every level in between. Look
out for daily deals--many Southeast establishments have a “burger
night,” “steak night,” “pasta night,” and more, allowing for reduced-price
meals nearly every night of the week.
The Southeast is a foodie’s playground--time to head out and play.

With all the farmers markets in Baltimore, you would think there was a thousand-acre crop just behind that line of rowhomes. The fact is, there is a multitude of farmers from the county and beyond who are eager to put their wares before Charm City denizens, hungry for a bite of nature’s goodness. From produce to meats, and all kinds of other things--break-fast sandwiches, coffee, crafts, live music--our farmers markets have it all.

Parks and RecreationParks
Patterson Park: Often referred to as “Baltimore’s best backyard,” the
residents of southeast Baltimore use it for just that. Jogging, dog-walking,
frisbee-playing, fishing, sledding, bird-watching and slack-lining are a few of
the activities that occur in the park on any given day. The audubon Society
offers programs for all ages, from Tiny Tot Safari, which teaches preschoolers
about the nature all around them, to a monthly bird-watching walk for all
ages. The Friends of Patterson Park serve as stewards and advocates for the
park. Patterson Park is the huge green expanse extending from Patterson
Park ave. to Ellwood ave., east to west, and from Baltimore St. to Eastern
ave., north to south. For more information, check pattersonpark.com or call
the Friends of Patterson Park at 410-276-3676.
Thames street Park: a great place to take the kids after school to burn
a little more energy, Thames Street Park, located in Fell’s Point at Wolfe and
Thames streets, offers green space and a playground suitable for young
children, with slides, platforms and monkey bars. a major renovation
is being planned that will upgrade the park and make the equipment
handicapped-accessible. For more information, visit thamesstreetpark.org.
Halcott square: adults and kids alike enjoy this pocket-park filled with
lush greenery. Named for Charles Halcott, who spearheaded the effort to
preserve it, the park was once the site of seven row houses. Located on the
100 block of S. Duncan St., Halcott Square is a popular summer gathering
space for adults bearing white wine and kids with their tricycles. The
greenery keeps the little space a few degrees cooler than the surrounding
asphalt jungle.
dypski Park: This little playground is located on the 1200 block of S.
Ellwood ave., directly behind Coppermine Field House at Clarence “Du”
Burns arena. Featuring playground equipment for the little ones, a plan to
install a “splash pad” for wet summer play was announced last year.
Canton Waterfront Park: Between Boston ave. and the water, from
Potomac St. to East ave., the Canton Waterfront Park allows residents to
relax, fish and recreate at the water’s edge. The park is also now the home
of WTMD’s First Thursdays summer concert series. With walking paths, one
of the best views of the harbor, benches and green space, the park has
something for everyone.
Recreation
Virginia Baker Recreation Center: Located at 2601 E. Baltimore St.,

Principals step outside the office, build playground in GreektownBy eRIK ZyGMOnT [email protected]

Both were soundly rejected by the residents and Boston St.-area businesses that attended that meeting.
One option was to close a stretch of
