- Broadway Market has been operating in the heart of Fell’s Point since 1786! Join us to look back at the lives of the people who shopped and worked here and the history of the market buildings over the years. We love Baltimore’s public markets! Thanks for watching and see you next week.
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." We record short videos about different historic places all over Baltimore and post them on our Facebook page, RUclips channel, and website. For more information or to become a member of Baltimore Heritage, check out: baltimoreheritage.org/support/
Thanks for another informative video! I always enjoyed visiting Fell's Point when I lived in Laurel, MD.
I LIVED THERE IN THE LATE 50'S AND EARLY 60'S AS A CHILD BUT I REMEMBER THE MARKET WELL. WE ATE THE GOOD FOOD 👍 😋
I try to go every saturday! Get breakfast at Vicky's, then head over to Fells Point Farmers Market. :)
Sounds lovely!
Shopped at Broadway Market.
if you're adding slavery, you should also mention Baltimore was put under marshall law by Lincoln during the civil war. Douglas row being within walking distance wouldn't hurt either
Where's a link to the interactive map showing where Baltimore slave markets were once located?
A valuable and informative video as always but the ending where you encourage people who might be in the area to "get out of their car" to visit the market kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Not all your viewers are going to be in cars after all, some might be on bikes, walking, taking public transportation, etc.
Of course this isn't a big deal and I know you didn't mean anything by it, I just don't like the assumption or implication that your viewers are universally driving through the city.
Unlike Others (outsiders) who do tours in Baltimore, I was born and grew up in Baltimore City. From our row house, I went to city schools from 1st to 12th grade and got my history degree at the University of Baltimore. I started the concept of walks through the city back in the 1980's in the heyday of Harbor Place. I was told then that no one would go with me on walking tours thru little known parts of the city. Those predictors were wrong. I got so many kudos, and lots of press coverage for my fabulous behind-the-scenes tours. I created dozens of such tours.
I am old now and remember the foot of Broadway in the 50's. In fact, I knew people who lived in this area before it became gentrified. And I heard and retain their stories. This talk did not capture or describe the area's highlights or history well at all.
I would love to hear more about what the video is missing!
I'm sure instead of the self-aggrandizement your vaunted knowledge would be appreciated as a volunteer at Baltimore Heritage.
