“Good afternoon Highlandtown! Are we ready for Art Carts?!”
The microphone squeaked heavily as Delegate Luke Clippinger, judge of the gravity-powered cart race in Highlandtown, worked up the crowd. Small children clapped their hands over their ears.
“Are we ready for feedback?” Clippinger added.
Last Saturday was the second annual All Ages Art Cart Derby. Starting at Conkling St., racers rode their carts two blocks down the Gough St. hill.
“We are getting ready to start the first runs down the sheer terror that is Gough Street,” said Clippinger.
There was a “dreadnought” (armored battle tank thing), Mr. Boh in a race car, a “sharkzilla”, a goat surrounded by maidens in viking helmets, and more. Overall, there were 12 carts—all home-made, all gravity-powered, and all with steering and braking systems.
The point of the whole event, put on by Communities For All Ages and sponsored by the Laughing Pint, was to get people of Sharkzilla races past banner neighborhoods’ Smooth Sailing

Communities For All Ages is a 30-person group with members from the Creative Alliance, the Southeast Community Development Corp., and Banner Neighborhoods. Members range in age from 14 to 54, according to Leanna Wetmore, an organizer of the event.
Delegate Luke Clippinger judged the race.

It wasn’t just a race. As Highlandtown residents sipped beer from the Laughing Pint, they checked out a variety of art exhib-its and refreshment tents between race heats.
“I’m glad to see a lot of people here,” said Highlandtown resident Matthew Saindon, a photographer. “We got a good crowd last year; I think we’ll get a bigger crowd this year.”
Saindon’s family raced “The Fireball of Doom.” Unfortunately, the cart had a little steering trouble in the first heat. That didn’t stop anyone from having a good time, and carts that had difficulty completing the course received helpful pushes from bystand-ers.
The winner of race, speedwise, was “Team Appendix and the Miracle Welders.” The cart with the widest range of ages in its building team was “Banner’s Smooth Sailing,” by Banner Neighborhoods. The best concept was awarded to “The
Highlandtown Train Garden,” and “Dreadnought 561” won the people’s choice award.
The afternoon also included Super Art Fight, the self-proclaimed “Greatest Live

Art Competition in the Known Universe.” Artists took direction from the spin of a roulette wheel.
There was also a teen talent show, with performances and poetry.
“The thing we kept getting from folks was how much they enjoyed the teenagers’ performance,” said Wetmore. “They were surprised at how powerful it was.”
Mr. Boh raced in the Art Cart Derby, too.

To the Editor:
What would downtown Baltimore look like today if the community hadn’t fought plans to demolish Fell’s Point for a super highway? Years from now, what might Patterson Park look like if activists lose their battle against a 96-car parking lot and paved roadway?
It’s wonderful nearly 500 “very vocal residents” met to express their displeasure about the idea. Apparently the point got across, because prior to last week’s discus-sion Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the creation of a Patterson Park Master Plan Working Group.
But why wasn’t the community con-sulted in the first place? Before any land-scape architect was hired, local residents should have been brought on board. It’s likely the mayor’s office and city agencies believed Baltimore’s apathy would mean a slam dunk for project. How terrific it’s not
the case!I live in Harbor East and understand
my condo would not exist had the 1960s interstate been pushed through. Nor would the Inner Harbor business and residential neighborhood be a reality if that multi-lane highway idea had succeeded. Community activism and neighborhood involvement are signs a healthy city. The mayor and city officials should be delight-ed. Instead of spending any more money on a Patterson Park Master Plan or Working Groups, let’s just leave the park alone!

Now it’s official—the American Planning Association has just named Fell’s Point one of its 10 Great Neighborhoods for 2012.
“APA singled out Fell’s Point, one of America’s most important Colonial and Civil War seaports, for its historic maritime role, character and charm, architecture, and preservation efforts,” read an APA press release explaining the designation. “Just over a mile from downtown Baltimore, Fell’s Point offers views of the Inner Harbor, quaint shops and boutiques, dozens of res-taurants, and the highest concentration of pubs in the city.”
The APA is a national professional asso-ciation for city and regional planners.
“I think it’s quite an honor,” said Joanne Masopust, president of the Fell’s Point Community Organization.
Masopust left Bolton Hill for Fell’s Point on Oct. 1, 1979.
“Obviously, if I’ve lived here that long, I like living here,” she said.
Masopust’s assessment of the neighbor-hood matched some points of that of the APA.
“There are an abundance of restaurants
that serve good food,” she said, “ and some that serve excellent food.”
But the Point’s greatness goes beyond what the neighborhood offers its residents. It also comes from what the residents them-selves offer, Masopust said.
“I’ve established a close set of friends and neighbors, and I’ve found people here are very willing to help each other out,” she said.
She cited two events—“Snowmageddon” and Hurricane Isabel—as evidence.
During Snowmageddon, the 2010 storm that dumped 2 feet on Baltimore, neighbors ensured that those tucked in on narrow Regester St. could get out to the main roads.
“The guys on my block shoveled path-ways so that everyone on the block could get to Aliceanna or Lancaster Street,” said Masopust. “It looked like a little maze.”
During 2003’s Hurricane Isabel, Masopust lost power for a long time. The owner of Brick Oven Pizza gave her ice that he wasn’t using.
She said that those two examples are indicative of the way neighbors look out for each other in Fell’s Point.
“People really do pitch in and help each other with what needs to be done,” she said.
The APA said that neighborhoods on its Great Places list have many of the features that are part of an “ideal community,” such as “locally owned businesses, transit, neigh-borhood parks, and sidewalks.”
“They illustrate how the foresight of plan-ning fosters tomorrow’s communities,” the release said.
Masopust said that a few more features could make Fell’s Point even better.
“ I think we could be even higher on that list if we had a library, a drugstore, and a viable food mart,” she said.

She graduated from Patterson Park High School in June 1948. She is now 82.Her last known address was 701 S. Conkling St. Baltimore, MDIf you are her or know her, please have her contact me..
In a statement emailed to constituents on Wednesday, Oct. 3, First District Councilman Jim Kraft announced his intention to put together the working group to decide the future of Patterson Park by the end of the month. Furthermore, the remaining three public meetings to discuss the Recreation and Parks proposal for 96 new parking spaces and a loop road in the park were cancelled, as the proposal has been put on hold.
“Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake inter-vened on behalf of the community and ordered the [Department or Recreation and Parks] and the [Health Department] to work with me and the community to create a Patterson Park Master Plan Working Group,” Kraft wrote.
Kraft is referring to Rawlings-Blake’s statement disseminated on Tuesday, Oct. 2, in which she said that she had ordered Recreation and Parks and the Health Department to partner with the councilman to create the group, which would be charged with “building on the the existing master plan to create comprehensive, community-driven strategies to enhance green space, increase traffic safety, and facilitate improved recreational opportunities in and around Patterson Park.”
The mayor’s order came the day after the first of the scheduled Patterson Park meet-ings, in which nearly 500 residents showed up and loudly expressed their disapproval of the plan to add more parking.
“No more cars, no more parking, and no more paving” has been the dominant mes-sage coming from the community since the proposal surfaced.
“The message that we conveyed at Monday evening’s meeting was heard loud-ly and clearly,” Kraft wrote. “All of the plans of [the Department of Recreation and Parks] and [the Health Department] have been placed on hold. This does not mean that they have been taken off the table. It means that they have been stopped and are not moving forward now.”
The next steps, Kraft wrote, are to cancel the remaining public meetings on the park-ing proposal, since it is now on hold, and put
the working group together by the end of the month.
“Third, as a principal partner in the Working Group,” Kraft wrote, “I will work with DRP and the HD to make certain that all its plans, proposals and actions are
shared with the community. There must never be any question about what the Group is doing and whether it is being done in an open and transparent way. Nor should there be any question as to whether the commu-nity has had an opportunity to participate in the development of the Master Plan or whether it is reflective of its desires for the future of the Park.”
The plan for 96 parking spots and a loop road had come about in conjunction with a Health Department proposal to relocate the services of the John Booth Senior Center to the park’s Casino building, and for plans from the Department of Recreation and Parks to expand the activities of and reno-vate the Virginia Baker Recreation Center in the park.

Central Avenue project includes Harbor Point connector bridgeby Erik [email protected]
Construction on proposed improvements to Central Ave., from Baltimore St. south to the Harbor Point development, would begin next summer if the proposal comes to frui-tion.
The proposal also includes a connector bridge, which would basically extend from the present southern end of Central Ave. and cross the water onto the Harbor Point penin-sula, future home of the 27.3-acre mixed use development of Harbor Point.
A 227,000 square-foot Morgan Stanley building is currently located at Harbor Point’s southeast corner, and the next step in the development is a facility for energy pro-ducer Exelon, which purchased Baltimore’s Constellation Energy in March of this year, according to Jonathan Flesher of Harbor East Development, the group behind Harbor Point.
According to the Baltimore City Department of Transportation, the Central Ave. portion of the proposal would address several current deficiencies. At a public meeting last week, the DOT pointed to bad pavement, sidewalk and drainage conditions as one problem with Central Ave. in its cur-rent state, as well as a lack of bike lanes, trees, and other landscaping features.
Lighting also needs to be improved, and the sidewalks are not currently compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, accord-ing to DOT.
The proposal would reconstruct the road-way and sidewalks, mining space for a five-foot bike lane by cutting the median from 20 feet to 10 feet across. Like the present road, the new Central Ave. would be a four-lane road, with two lanes for each direction of travel.
The other major change would be to the sidewalk, which would have a minimum of 5 feet of walking space, with another 5 feet for trees, benches, and other landscaping features.
“We’re going to make greening a priori-ty,” said Michael Wilmore, an engineer with Baltimore DOT.
“If it comes to fruition, I’ll be happy,” commented Little Italy resident Gia Blattermann. “The only wish I would have is that they do it now and get it over with...Little Italy welcomes it, believe me.”
The total bill for the project is $33 million, with $27 million coming from federal mon-ies, according to DOT, including “available money from other city projects.”
The other $6 million, coming from the city itself, would pay for the connector bridge to Harbor Point. According to Flesher,
the plan to build the connector bridge came soon after Exelon announced intentions to set up in Harbor Point, which has few access points.
“In order for us to build another building, the DOT told us we need another way out [of Harbor Point],” said Flesher.
He said that bonds based on the increased tax revenue the city expects to earn from the completed Harbor Point development will be issued for the construction of the bridge—a funding device known as tax-increment financing.
Like Central Ave., the connector bridge would have four vehicular travel lanes and two bike lanes, and a sidewalk.
According to Flesher, Harbor Point will eventually become something like Harbor East.
“Today there is residence, retail, restau-rants, hotels, and businesses there,” he said.
Residents have through Oct. 18 to make their opinions on the project known to the city. Email [email protected].

Three-alarm Thursday morning fire burns Fell’s Point liquor store
A three-alarm fire early on the morning of Thursday, Oct. 4, caused extensive dam-age to the building housing Fells Point Liquor and Bar, 1709 Fleet St.
“The building’s condemned now,” said
Battalion Chief David Goldman of the Baltimore City Fire Department. “The roof’s burned off and fallen into the third floor.”
Goldman said that the fire began on the first floor, but “chased” to the third floor, following exhaust fans and pipe fittings upward.
“It spared most of the second floor,” he
said. A three-alarm fire typically brings about
35 pieces of equipment and 100 firefighters to the scene, Goldman said.
It was about 11 a.m. when the Guide spoke to Goldman. By then, he said, the fire was “basically out,” but personnel were still conducting a “fire watch” to make sure no hot embers were left to smolder.
“We don’t want to come back here 10 or 12 hours later,” he said.
The fire was contained in the single build-
ing, though the building immediately east received some water damage, mainly to the first floor.
“The guys did a great job containing it to the one building,” Goldman said. “Once it got up to the roof, it could’ve spread.”
Goldman said that two firefighters received minor injuries.
On June 11 of this year, another business in Fell’s Point burned—the Fresh Foods Mart on Broadway, just around the corner from the Fells Point Liquor and Bar.
Firefighters wrap up after an early-morning fire at Fells Point Liquor and bar on thursday, oct. 4.

BIRDS HOUSE: Matusz sMokes haMilton in duel
by Andy MindzAk
The Baltimore Orioles did it again, sur-prising everyone by beating the Texas Rangers in the one-game Wild Card, and moving on to face the New York Yankees.
Going in to the Rangers game, there weren’t too many numbers in Baltimore’s favor. On the season, Baltimore went 2-5 against the Rangers, losing a few of those games by a hefty margin. During one of those games, Josh Hamilton hit four home runs and drove in eight runs at Camden Yards.
It definitely couldn’t have been good to face them again.
The O’s were starting Joe Saunders, who had been pitching well this season since coming over from a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks. One significant point, how-
ever, was that Saunders had a 9.38 ERA playing at the Rangers’ stadium in six career starts. That’s definitely not a good
sign.Baltimore was facing off against Yu
Darvish, who put together a great 2012, his first in America. For the season, Darvish went 16-9 with a 3.90 ERA and struck out 221 batters in 191.1 innings. Not only that, Darvish was stellar in his five September starts, going 3-0 with a 2.21 ERA and a ridiculous 0.74 WHIP.
Yikes.The Orioles were facing off against the
highest scoring offense in all of baseball. Texas scored a Major-League-best 808 runs while hitting .273 as a team, good for third best overall behind the Rockies and Angels who hit .274.
Oof.Then the Orioles did what they do best:
Surprise everyone. Saunders pitched excep-tionally well, going 5.2 innings and allowing only one earned run on six hits. Former Ranger Darren O’Day threw two great innings in relief, allowing only one hit before leaving in favor of Brian Matusz, who
was tasked to face theever dangerous Hamilton. What transpired next was one of the best
three-pitch sequences I have ever seen.Matusz was brought in because it gave a
good lefty-on lefty-matchup against Hamilton. But Josh Hamilton is Josh Hamilton, all .285 of him with 43 home runs and 128 RBI. Now, Matusz doesn’t really throw that hard, topping out usually around 92 MPH, so he won’t blow a fastball by you, and it was apparent to me that Hamilton was expecting curveballs for the entire at-bat.
Sadly for him, he never got one.Matusz started him off with a fastball for
a strike, and then gave him another. Now with the count 0-2, you could probably bet the house that a curveball was coming, an attempt to get Hamilton to chase and strike out.
Nope. Matusz threw another fastball. Hamilton
was late on his swing, obviously guessing curve, and struck out to end the eighth inning. Matt Wieters could not have called that at-bat any better, and Matusz made the pitches when it counted.
The O’s went on to win 5-1 and now face the Yankees in the ALDS. No matter what happens in that series, the O’s have certainly surprised everyone, even their own fans (and this writer).File photo by Shawn Levin

Come out to Butchers Hill for a five-hour tour, stay for a lifetime
Go on the Butchers Hill House Tour this weekend and you might just decide to buy a house there.
That’s what happened to Sue Noonan, who is now co-chair of the annual tour.
“We came on the tour in ’87, bought a house, and the next year we were on the tour,” she said.
According to Noonan, she’s not the only current Butchers Hill resident who ended up in the neighborhood that way. Once they get introduced to the neighborhood, people usu-ally find something they like, she said.
“People are here for all different reasons,” she said. “Usually its proximity to the park and the friendly neighborhood.”
The friendliness will be on full display for the self-guided tour of nine houses this Sunday, Oct. 14, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are available the day of the tour at the white house in Patterson Park at the Lombard St. entrance, near the Pagoda. To buy tickets in advance, visit www.butcher-shill.org.
The houses on the tour will showcase the diverse interiors in a neighborhood where
the houses look very similar from the out-side.
“Some are elegant; some are just cozy,” Noonan said. “You get all different ideas for decorating, and some people are even doing their own renovations.”
The most important criteria for getting your house on the tour? Being enthusiastic about opening your home to neighbors and visitors.
“[The House Tour] has kind of changed in purpose,” Noonan said, “but it’s still dependent on people being willing to open their homes.”
Though the tour still convinces folks to move to Butchers Hill, that aspect of it was more overt back when it was started, 30 years and change ago.
“It was really started in the late 70s or early 80s by a group of people who had worked hard on beautifying the neighbor-hood and wanted other people to see how nice it was,” said Noonan. “They wanted to encourage people to come and live in Butchers Hill.”
The strategy worked.“We bought our house in ’81 because of
stumbling on the House Tour,” said Carolyn
couple had been looking at houses in the city “just for fun.” Butchers Hill won them over with “the proximity to Johns Hopkins, the proximity to [Patterson Park], and just the wonderful architecture of the buildings,” Boitnott said.
“There was a lot of nice—fairly simple, but nice—Victorian woodwork and details,” Boitnott elaborated.
Visitors on this year’s tour will be entered in a raffle to win a handmade afghan depict-ing the Patterson Park Pagoda, made by Butchers Hill artist Martha Simons, www.stelladogcreations.com.
Boitnott, who now lives on the 2100 block of Baltimore St. “That’s how we sort of discov-ered the neighborhood.”

REAL ESTATE Q&A
WHAT QUESTIONS SHOULD I ASK WHEN LOOKING AT HOMES?
Many of your questions should focus on potential problems and maintenance issues. Does anything need to be replaced? What things require ongoing maintenance (e.g., paint, roof, HVAC, appliances, carpet)? Also ask about the house and neighbor-hood, focusing on quality of life issues. Be sure the seller's or real estate agent's answers are clear and complete. Ask questions until you understand all of the information they've given. Making a list of questions ahead of time will help you organize your thoughts and arrange all of the information you receive. The HUD Home Scorecard can help you develop your question list.
HOW CAN I KEEP TRACK OF ALL THE HOMES I SEE?
If possible, take photographs of each house: the outside, the major rooms, the yard, and extra features that you like or ones you see as potential problems. And don't hesitate to return for a second look. Use the HUD Home Scorecard to organize your photos and notes for each house.
HOW MANY HOMES SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE CHOOSING ONE?
There isn't a set number of houses you should see before you decide. Visit as many as it takes to find the one you want. On aver-age, homebuyers see 15 houses before choosing one. Just be sure to communicate often with your real estate agent about everything you're looking for. It will help avoid wasting your time.
WHAT DOES A HOME INSPECTOR DO, AND HOW DOES AN INSPECTION FIGURE IN THE PURCHASE OF A HOME?
An inspector checks the safety of your potential new home. Home Inspectors focus
especially on the structure, construction, and mechanical systems of the house and will make you aware of only repairs,that are needed.
The Inspector does not evaluate whether or not you're getting good value for your money. Generally, an inspector checks (and gives prices for repairs on): the electrical system, plumbing and waste disposal, the water heater, insulation and Ventilation, the HVAC system, water source and quality, the potential presence of pests, the foundation, doors, windows, ceilings, walls, floors, and roof. Be sure to hire a home inspector that is qualified and experienced.
It's a good idea to have an inspection before you sign a written offer since, once the deal is closed, you've bought the house as is." Or, you may want to include an inspection clause in the offer when negotiat-ing for a home. An inspection t clause gives you an 'out" on buying the house if serious problems are found,or gives you the ability to renegotiate the purchase price if repairs are needed. An inspection clause can also specify that the seller must fix the problem(s) before you purchase the house.
