A prior resident of the Charm City with family in Maryland since the early 60's, I've had a few short periods living in Baltimore but predominantly and most recently in New York City.

As a genealogist, I became a student of New York City urban history ever since determining that my grandmother had arrived into the United States at Pier 95 on the North River as a young girl - this urban study has followed me to Baltimore.

While in Baltimore, I became vigilant in my search of odd tidbits that hopefully unearth aspects of the Charm City's historic soul. I hope you enjoy getting to know a little more of its historic past from a slightly different perspective.
