Spring Cleaning

Our roving photojournalist captured one of Baltimore's fine, upstanding property owners doing a little bit of spring cleaning this past week on the southwest corner of Howard and Monument Streets in preparation, no doubt, for the expansion of CHAP's Mount Vernon Historic District west of the lightrail tracks. Always a good thing to get that embarrassing historic stuff out of the way before moving forward with CHAP to preserve Baltimore's history and architecture for the future. Also lightens CHAP's load...

It's going to be a surface lot, apparently. Let's hear it for Martin O'Malley's "Creative Class." We need more people like that in Baltimore, don't you agree?
