"The Wire" was great television. However, for many in the public unfamiliar with Baltimore it has become a short cut narrative for the city itself. This blog is for my fellow Baltimoreans tired of rolling their eyes and biting their tongue every time we are asked "Is Baltimore really like The Wire?"

Remington Gets Some Love from Metropolis Magazine
Miller's Court in Remington is a finalist for a 2015 Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence. Metropolis Magazine is visiting each of the five finalists for the award. Their site visit article is an excellent profile of this great project built a few years ago. This is one of hose edge neighborhood redevelopments that are very encouraging. Seawall Development is moving ahead with other transformative projects in Remington. The most notable is the Remington Row, which recently signed a big lease with Johns Hopkins Physicians.
Remington is one of those neighborhood that has been on the edge of decline for a long time. Adjacent Charles Village and Hampden have stabilized and improved a lot over the past few decades. Visionaries like Seawall are what is needed to help improve these neighborhoods.
