Five Minute Histories: Masonville Cove
Did you know Baltimore is home to the nation’s first urban wildlife refuge partnership? Join us at Masonville Cove to hear about the creation and clean-up of this beautiful waterfront area, the bald eagles that call it home, and the 2018 addition of Captain Trash Wheel, a member of our city’s beloved garbage eating wheel family. We also delve into the history of the little town of Masonville which thrived on this site until the 1950s. Thanks for watching and see you next week with another video!
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and RUclips channel.

    My Dad owned a corner bar on Hudson & Clinton Sts in Highlandtown after retiring from the Baltimore Fire Dept. When he got it, it still had an old 21hole Pinball machine with no flippers. In the back he had both Men's and Ladies Dart Leagues on different nights. He sold it after coming down with Cancer in his mid 70's. I had a different career and didn't want to run it It's still there but I don't know who owns it now.

    There is so much more to the story of Masonville! When it started all of the families in the community were related and worked at the Biscuit factory, so it was known as Craker town. It is the example of how a NATURAL woodland and waterway can be turned into a dump site for the big industry and local dirtballs. The Terrapins used to naturally spawn on the waters edge, but the became extinct from the area..... too much turtle soup served up during the Gilded Age.

    Johns, et. all. was hoping one day you might do a video on the Old Holy cross cemetery (irish). it used to stand at Harford and Broadway, where the school is now. my paternal ancestors and many other irish immigrants were buried there. seems as though the city purchased the land in the 50s/60s and some of the graves were exhumed and moved to woodlawn cemetery in a mass grave. Please keep up your good work!

    My favorite most iconic Baltimore icon and sign in Baltimore! My entire life every time I go downtown, or ride the Baltimore Water Taxi on the water, or look out from the inner harbor and Fells point I gaze at that beautiful gold Domino Sugar(s)! sign with happiness in my heart. It's even prettier at night all lit up. So proud of the history and the great workforce there and of course their delicious sugars and remaining a vital part of Baltimore's industry, economy, and heritage. I recently had Cataracts & Glaucoma this past year and kept crying as my vision got worse and I thought I would never be able to see the sign again, until I had wonderful surgery with a wonderful doctor, and the very first thing I did after I healed was go to the inner harbor and look up at the sign and cried...for Happy! I also love seeing the sugar barges when they pass Fort McHenry when I picnic there, so wonderful! One sugar barge a few years back was called the Rainbow! Thank you so much I so very much appreciate this and all of your very insightful and enjoyable Baltimore (and surrounding areas) history videos!

    Camden Yards is one of the architectural wonders of the city. It’s impeccable how it seamlessly merge into downtown, making “walk to the stadium” an experience not only possible but also very pleasant. Not to mention the great job they’ve done in hiding the parking spots from immediate sight from the most attractive part of town - Inner Harbor. Love it!

    I've attended literally dozens of concerts at Merriweather over the years. Mostly back in the 70's and 80's when concerts were like $7.50 a ticket. The thing we loved the most about the place back then was that you were able to bring your own coolers in with alcohol, chairs, blankets, whatever. We used to stop by 7-11 on the way there and grab a couple of those 2 1/2 gallon jugs of fruit punch and we'd put a 5th of 190 proof pure grain alcohol in each one. That stuff went down smooth and was real refreshing gettin buzzed out on the lawn while the music played. I have great memories of the place. I'm sure its completely different now.

    Baltimore Civic Center obsolete by time it opened. Lack of space for NHL/IIHF-sized rink. Seats in right-angle corners facing away from rink/court. Needless permanent stage & parking structure occupying space better served with additional seating. Can't see closest hockey/soccer goal net from grandstand opposite stage. Only good things about facility is its unique roof & downtown location.

    Almost looks like the old #19 Parkville streetcar tracks are trying to poke up through the asphalt going across the North Ave. intersection. That was the only Sears in Baltimore until the Mondawmin Sears was built on the westside in the mid-1950s. I believe the old Hecht Company department store downtown was converted to office space. I know BG&E had some satellite offices there years ago right around the time the old Hochschild Kohn building across Lexington burned. Doubt if they still have offices there today. Thank you, Nadia, for the history of the Samuel Ready School. My aunt and uncle lived right behind the school property in West Hills for several years when I was growing up, and I always wondered what kind of school it was and when the building was built.
