Tightening budgets across the nation are forcing many folks to think deeply about the cost of transporting food from where it is produced to market shelves. And, appropriately, Urban Agriculture is an increasingly hot topic in the Baltimore Washington metro area. If you found the Farms in Baltimore post to be interesting, you might want to check out the very informative Urban Agriculture panel discussion on the National Building Museum website. Be sure to have some time on your hands though; the discussion is roughly an hour and a half long.

From the days of Edgar Allan Poe to the present, Baltimore has had a strong literary tradition.

And, in celebration of this tradition, wonderful institutions such as the Enoch Pratt Free Library and the annual

Baltimore Book Festival are going strong. In addition, The Book Thing, Inc. collects books from the public and redistributes them without charge.

If you are a person with money in your pocket who sees nothing but opportunity in those Baltimore City neighborhoods which are full of abandoned and underutilized properties, you might want to familiarize yourself with SCOPE (Selling City Owned Properties Efficiently). This program provides a simple and cost effective means for the city to sell properties to investors and adventurous homeowners.

As one might expect, these properties are inexpensive for a reason. For example, most need A LOT of work. For your convenience, Baltimore City provides repair estimates.

The Chesapeake Sustainable Business Alliance's Buy Local Baltimore campaign promotes the support of independently owned businesses throughout the Baltimore area.

For example, in Northeast Baltimore,  you might be tempted to choose from a large selection of exotic coffees at Zeke's Coffee and have it ground while you wait. Or, you might be interested in one of the weekly specials at Koco's Pub such as Thursday's Crab Cake Platter.

In North Baltimore, the freshly prepared breads, soups, and pastries at Atwaters are delicious. And, going to see a movie at the nearby Senator Theater with its original Art Deco decor and Mid Century modern seating is always entertaining.
