It’s offi cial;this school year is FAST’s lastBY DANIELLE [email protected]

The Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners voted to close Friendship Academy of Science and Technology, a middle -high school located at 801 S Highland Ave., on Feb. 25.

This vote was the final vote in the school closure process, which began in December, when the Baltimore School Board rejected a recommendation to renew the district’s contract with Friendship Public Charter Schools, Inc., the school’s operator. At that point, the board also recommended initiating Maryland’s school closure process.

Baltimore City Public Schools held a state-mandated public hearing on the closure of FAST on February 11 and accepted public comment through Feb. 21.

The school, which has 650 students enrolled and 69 staff members, is being closed is due to the board’s vote not to renew the operator; poor academic performance; and better

The renovation and redevelopment of Fell’s Point’s Recreation Pier is now in the hands of Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank.

The Sagamore Development Company, which Plank founded in 2013, currently has the former set for “Homicide: Life on the Street” under contract and will be completing design, planning and permitting over the next year, according to Steven Siegel of Sagamore Development.

At last Thursday morning’s Fell’s Point Main Street meeting, Siegel acknowledged that the Fell’s Point neighborhood has heard many promises regarding the pier, located on the 1700 block of Thames St., over the past decade, and he said that he had attended to show why this time is “different from the 80 other times you heard it in the past.”

The difference, Siegel said, is in the nature of Plank’s commitment.

“He is steadfastly committed to the project—to the city,” said Siegel. “He also cares a great deal about the city making a better place for the residents, the neighbors, the businesses, himself and his business.”

Financial motivation, said Siegel, is, for

Think about itTo the Editor:

John Dillinger was once asked, “Why do you rob banks?”

His answer: “’Cause thats where the money is.”

Why is Canton now a hot spot for crime? I would think that our trained law enforcement agency would have had this answer and been actively working on it long before it reached these terrible consequences. Added to the somewhat revealing statement made by our mayor with regards to those of us in the Canton area and what we really mean to her.

What should we Cantonites do? Lets dance with this idea...Lets clearly mark the boundaries of Canton—and then move to secede from the city. Lets become part of Baltimore County.

Think about it. Less property taxes, lower water bills, better school system...Sounds like a win,win, win to me.

Now I must say this is coming from a home owner whose grandmother bought her “Canton” rowhome in 1904 when it was actually in Baltimore County! Whose to say we can’t turn back the hands of time? As I quote, “When in the course of human events...”

Police were called to Rancho Blanco, a Highlandtown-area bar, on Sunday, Feb. 23, for a disturbance, which soon spilled over to the nearby Gmart International Market parking lot at Lombard and Eaton Streets.

According to Detective Brandon Echevarria, a police spokesperson, police were called to the bar at 100 Fagley St. around 12:40 a.m. for a reported assault and a discharge of a firearm.

“There was an assault inside Rancho Blanco bar,” said Echevarria. “Apparently, this started over a pool game, and one suspect discharged a firearm into the floor.”

Upon arriving at the bar, police officers were flagged down and directed to the parking lot of Gmart across the street, where three suspects were assaulting two victims, Echevarria continued.

The police stopped the assault and recovered a handgun, said Echevarria, adding that three men were arrested.

Currently Wilkin Valenzuela, 26, and Pedro Valenzuela, 25, face gun and assault charges.

This is not first time an incident with a

was shot in the arm and torso during a bar fight.

According to the Baltimore Sun, bar patrons detained the shooter in that incident, and another suspect who fled was later arrested.

When violent activity occurs at a liquor establishment, the Liquor Board relies on police to send a police report to the board when the police think it is warranted, said Stephan Fogleman, Liquor Board chairman.

“We often give the officers considerable weight in their determination as to whether a licensee or bar’s management bears some responsibility for the crime, based on the particulars of each case they investigate, “ said Fogleman.

“But if a police report is filed with our agency by another interested party, we will most certainly review for potential violations.”

Rancho Blanco was not charged with a violation for the 2012 shooting, and, to date, has not been called before the board regarding the Feb. 23 incident.

A little more than a month after a community-approved parking proposal for Patterson Park was deemed too costly and possibly too short-term, about 70-75 members of the community turned out last week to begin the process of heading back to the drawing board.

City Councilman Jim Kraft hosted a meeting on the Patterson Park Master Plan last Monday, Feb. 24, to discuss moving forward with a plan for the park as a whole, not just senior citizen access to one building.

To recap: Last summer, the Patterson Park Working group came to an agreement that allowed senior citizens access to Patterson Park’s Casino building, which is now the location of the John Booth-Eleanor Hooper Senior Center. The agreement included a plan that slightly increased the park’s interior parking capacity, mainly in the Virginia Baker Recreation Center parking lot. Under the community’s plan, that lot would have been modestly expanded by moving back a retaining wall.

It turned out that moving back that wall carried a hefty price tag: about $500,000, according to Bob Wall, Recreation Chief for Baltimore Recreation and Parks.

“We came to the conclusion that maybe we don’t have to do that right now,” said Kraft on Monday, Feb. 24, adding that the current ease of senior access to the Casino, the age and condition of the city ice rink located within the park, and the fact that the Virginia Baker Recreation Center may not be in an optimal location were all factors that contributed to that conclusion.

The purpose of the meeting last week was to start the process of updating Patterson Park’s Master Plan, which was last completed in 1998. Wall said that last week’s turnout was solid, especially when compared with the late 90s.

“Comparing these numbers to 18 years ago is pretty overwhelming,” said Wall, assessing the crowd. “Moving forward, I’m happy to be a part of the process again with capital projects moving forward.”

Kraft broke the master planning process for Patterson Park into five major categories. Each category, he said, would be analyzed by a separate committee,

Community tapped for update to Patterson Park Master Plan

which would make recommendations to an “overall, for lack of a better word, ‘steering committee,’” which would eventually come up with a new master plan:

Capital improvementsThis category includes an inventory of

the park’s current and future building and infrastructure needs, including lighting; improvements to pathways, pavement and park entrances; renovation of buildings such as the park’s White House; and plans for the space that will be left when Recreation and Parks moves its maintenance yard out of Patterson Park.

A summary statement issued by Kraft also states that “community members hope that an outcome of this review will be the articulation of a process that adequately involves community members in the creation and review of design specifications, both for future capital projects as well as removal of existing buildings and structures.”

Kraft added that there has been some discussion that the ice rink and football field area near Linwood Ave. might be a good place for a recreation center as well.

“Do we change Linwood Ave., make it one-way, and create angle parking?” he said, adding, “Don’t go home and say ‘Kraft said we’re gonna... Because Bob Wall said it.’”

Maintenance and governanceThis category, according to Kraft’s

written statement, “should evaluate and revise maintenance and operational protocols for the park, while addressing longer-term governance questions, specifically alternative models for park maintenance, such as a Conservancy model.”

Kraft added that the Friends of Patterson Park and community are interested in an “enhanced role” for the Friends.

Ecology and natural resources“Water management, tree cover, wildlife

habitat and vegetation” are several issues that need to be addressed by an updated Master Plan, Kraft said, adding that “the

Community tapped for update to Patterson Park Master Plan

Patterson Park Audubon Center’s ‘Bird’s Eye View’ report and plan should play an important role in these conversations.”

ProgrammingA lot happens in Patterson Park, including

the Kinetic Sculpture Race, the Halloween Lantern Parade and multiple ethnic festivals.

“Additionally, program(ming) for the new Virginia Baker Recreation Center should be addressed,” Kraft wrote.

Historical ConnectionsThe park was a significant location in

both the Civil War and the War of 1812. Kraft’s statement says that “any revision

of the master plan for Patterson Park should address current and future historical preservation efforts and attendant programming in order to educate park users on the important historical aspects of the park.”

FinanceSome residents raised the possibility of

a sixth sub-committee to come up with financing solutions for the items identified in the master plan. Kraft said that at least $3 million—money previously earmarked for the Virginia Baker Recreation Center renovation—is guaranteed for Patterson Park “to the extent that you can guarantee anything in government.”

A resident asked if there was any guarantee that a new master plan would be followed by the city.

“We have a commitment from the administration to pay attention to our work,” said Kraft, and there were a few ironic giggles from the assembled. “That’s really important,” he continued. “Lots of reports get written, things get done, and I can take you to the sixth floor of City Hall, where it’s all lying there, collecting dust.”

Wall said that the city has been generous to Recreation and Parks lately, citing improvements at the Cherry Hill and Clifton Park recreation centers as two examples.

Speaking to future improvements in Patterson Park, Wall said, “Sure, we’re going to miss on some, but I think we’re going to hit some home runs on some others.”

Kraft said that signing up to be on one of the master plan committees would be a major commitment.

“When we talk about work groups, we really mean work groups,” he said.

Anyone wishing to join—or chair—a committee is encouraged to contact Kraft’s office at 410-396-4821. Kraft said that all meetings will be open to the public.

The group tentatively plans to come back together with an update on Thursday, March 13, 7 p.m., at the Casino building in Patterson Park. At that meeting, reports Kristyn Oldendorf, Kraft’s chief of staff, a plan for moving forward—including organizing the committees, leadership and regular meetings—will be established.

Pop-up arts events are coming to Highlandtown’s Eastern Ave. this spring.

A new collaboration—including the Southeast Community Development Corporation, the Highlandtown Arts District (ha!), a monthly queer dance party in Baltimore called Glitter Thighs, and UMBC’s Center for Art Design and Visual Culture—is creating a series of spontaneous arts happenings to pro-mote the potential of empty retail spaces on Eastern Ave.

“We’re calling these ‘Pop-up arts events’ because they will suddenly appear in unoccu-pied spaces and then close down shortly there-after,” says organizer Sandra Abbott, ha! member, and curator of collections and out-reach at CADVC.

Victor Torres, a graduate student assistant at

UMBC and Glitter Thighs organizer, orches-trated the pop-up series’ Feb. 21 kick-off—a dance party at Carlos O’Charlies—and will be coordinating three Highlandtown-centric pop-up events.

“The kickoff was fantastic,” Torres says. “We had four DJs and must have had 230 people attend. It was great to see the Latino and queer communities having a good time together.”

Torres is already working with local land-lords on potential pop-up spaces and has a few ideas for Eastern Ave. pop-up art experiences.

One is an immersive performance space.“That’s an art installation with a performance

component, and the audience will be incentivized to become part of the performance,” he says.

Torres is also considering transforming a vacant retail space into a living studio.

“An artist or artists goes in and works for a while, and the storefront’s windows re-active the space,” he explains.

Another possibility, he says, is a public artists’ talk.

“Artists might talk about their research, discuss where their work is going or how they see themselves as artists in Highlandtown. That’s one idea,” Torres says.

“One purpose of the pop-up events,” says Amanda Smit-Peters, manager of Highlandtown Main Street, “is to highlight the real estate on Eastern Ave. Pop-up galleries

PoP-uPspromote the potential

and shops are a great way to showcase and help people re-envision available space.”

Another reason is to have fun and promote Highlandtown as a community where artists can settle.

Torres, who is studying digital arts, says he worked in Highlandtown before at an after-school health and education program called Mi Espacio at the Caroline Street Clinic.

“I’ve never worked in Highlandtown as an artist before though. I feel grateful for the opportunity. The possibilities here are end-less,” he says.

Torres says to look for Eastern Ave’s newest pop-up art space in late March.

“Oh, you wouldn’t recognize the place these days.”

That is so true today in my Canton. For the most part, it’s what I don’t see.

There are no kids beyond infants in strollers. I don’t see elementary school kids on the playgrounds. Since we have no longer have any rec centers to speak of, I don’t see teens in groups playing pick-up games.

Canton is still here, but the neighborhood is gone.

Blocks and blocks of rowhomes, once crowded with families, are now populated with empty nesters, retirees or yuppies. Those young folks who are married and have children simply stay until the babies are almost school age, and they are gone. Remember, the engine that drives migration is the quality of the school system.

My Canton is now a bedroom community for Washington, D.C. In my travels, I have found that it is simply cheaper to find a rowhome in Canton than in the D.C. suburbs. The I-95 commute, exiting onto O’Donnell St., is almost like a daily therapy drive—out of the rat race and into Canton.

And Canton is where to find all the good “pubs,” as they call them today. My father

used to go to the corner bar, and like in “Cheers,” everybody knew his name.

O’Donnell Square used to have a wading pool and a pavilion. Both are gone, but the pubs have grown. The firehouse is now a coffee shop.

Obviously, the corner grocery stores—Sam’s, Friday’s, Helminac’s, Eddie’s—are gone. And only the folks at Hoehn’s, up on Bank St., are still baking their hearts out.

And do you know what else? It won’t be long before they rip down all the formstone in Canton. Was it really that ugly?

Next goes the white marble steps and the Tiffany-style glass with the house numbers seen in front door transoms.

With almost every house having central air and shut up tight, you rarely see people sitting out front in the evenings.

You don’t hear church bells. You don’t see clothes on clotheslines. Nobody washes and waxes their cars in the street.

Occasionally, you might hear the ice cream truck, but where do you go for a good snowball in Canton?

Maybe this new wave of immigrants will restart the neighborhood family cycle. Canton will once again be the charm in Charm City.

Hudson Street Stackhouse

Dominic DeSantis combined his love of Belgian beer and ice hockey to create the perfect neighborhood bar, Hudson Street Stackhouse.

It’s a neighborhood bar with a huge draft list, and sometimes a hockey game breaks out. The Hudson Street Stackhouse—hidden among rowhomes near Hudson Street’s intersection with Lakewood Ave.—is a testament to owner Dominic DeSantis’s ability to take his own interests and create something for the whole neighborhood.“I started this place from scratch, exactly how I wanted it,” says DeSantis, a Belgian beer fan and a lifelong hockey player. “I just like being around here; I like coming to work everyday. I’m always on my feet and always running around. It’s a nice mix of using your brain, if you will, and your back.”The Stackhouse features about a dozen Belgian brews on tap at all times. “I’ll always have a Belgian tripel, a Belgian wit, a Flemish red ale...It’s good beer, to put it simply,” explains DeSantis. American craft brews and other imports round out the draft list, which is gaining notoriety.“We do get some people who come here from out of town for the beer selection,” DeSantis says,

adding that he tries to keep a large portion of the ever-changing selection in the $5 range.“You can come in here with 20 bucks, and have a burger and a few beers,” he says.During happy hour—Mon.-Fri. before 7 p.m., Sat. before 5 p.m.—drafts are $2 off. The Stackhouse also features specials throughout the week—burgers are $5 on Tues.; Thursday is New York strip, two sides and dessert for $14.99, etc.Whatever day of the week, Stackhouse has a “chill” crowd, DeSantis says.“You see all kinds in here—people in their 20s and 30s, and they’ll bring their parents in here when they’re in town,” he says. “I’ve never had to have a bouncer or a doorman—not that I’m saying I would never get one.” In the meantime, the Hudson Street Stackhouse has found its niche.“I’ve had a lot of people come in here that aren’t necessarily beer drinkers,” says DeSantis, “but because they keep coming here, they’ll try new beer—good beer.”

More venues: Baltimore’s so full of wedding spots, we needed two articlesby ERIK ZyGMONT [email protected]

A couple weeks ago, the Guide queried social media on the best wedding venues in or near Southeast Baltimore. We got some surprising replies. Last week, we explored some of those venues. Here are a few more:

Baltimore Museum of IndustryIt might not sound like the most obvious

spot for a wedding, but the Museum of Industry, 1415 Key Highway, is certainly popular.

“We’re booked [for functions] every Saturday in 2014, and the majority of those are weddings,” says Claire Mullins, director of marketing and events for BMI. “This has been a destination for weddings

for over a decade.”Mullins points out several factors that

make BMI an excellent choice. There’s the practical:

“We have onsite parking, free with rental, for 200 spaces,” she says.

There’s the aesthetic:“We’re right on the water,” notes

Mullins. “We have a gorgeous view of the skyline and Baltimore waterfront.”

(Incidentally, a Facebook commenter noted that the Urban Pirates, a booze cruise leaving from Fell’s Point, kept a “respectful distance” from her ceremony at the BMI, and though guests did hear the occasional “Arrr...” from across the water, it only enhanced the maritime ambience.)

There’s the historical and educational:

“The BMI is located in an 1860s oyster cannery—the last one on the Baltimore Harbor—and so the historic nature of the building and the artifacts on display lend an unconventional component to a special event,” says Mullins.

Weddings at the BMI include tours and demonstration’s of the museum’s oyster cannery, garment loft or print shop, by museum teachers “who actually run the machines,” she adds.

An outdoor pavilion and terrace available for ceremonies and receptions round out the options.

Mullins also notes that a couple can feel good about a decision to hold their wedding at the BMI.

“When people decide to have their

wedding at a museum that is nonprofit, they are also helping support their community as well,” she says.

For more information on the BMI as a wedding venue, visit thebmi.org.

Legg Mason Tower, fourth floorMartha Olney, catering manager for the

Legg Mason Tower, 100 International Dr. at Harbor East, sums up her venue’s appeal in three—OK, six—words.

“The view, the view, the view.”Several Facebook commenters singled

out the Legg Mason Tower’s fourth-floor cafeteria, which has a wall of glass overlooking Baltimore Harbor.

“For events, we just empty out the tables and chairs,” says Olney.

The harbor view encompasses 180 degrees, from M&T Bank Stadium to Fell’s Point.

“A lot of other venues have a slice,” comments Olney.

The venue space, dubbed Cook Commons, includes an outdoor deck that can be used for the ceremony portion of nuptials, if couples wish. The openness of the interior portion lends itself to lighting, draping or virtually any other form of decoration.

“It’s a pretty versatile space,” says Olney. “It’s really an open palette.”

Around the corner, two conference rooms double as spaces for a cocktail reception. They may be kept separate or opened into one. Large windows afford a view of the harbor and Harbor East pier, apparently spectacular enough to outshine the event itself.

“Some people don’t like it because, they say, it’s too distracting,” says Olney, “but a lot of people do.”

There are 14 weddings booked at the venue so far this year.

“They’re either from Baltimore or have a Baltimore connection,” she says. “People have gotten engaged looking at the harbor, so they want to get married looking at it. The sun sets over Fed Hill; it’s beautiful.”

In the five years the tower has been open, word has spread by mouth.

“Somebody came to a wedding here, and now their sister’s getting married, and so on,” says Olney.

Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park Museum

The waterfront park and museum—which showcases the story behind Frederick Douglass, who went from slave to free, and Isaac Myers, who became a national leader—features intriguing indoor and outdoor spaces.

“We offer the ability to host weddings out on a 200-foot pier, with the sky-lit view of the Inner Harbor and the industrial east harbor vistas down by Canton,” says museum spokesperson Marsha Reeves Jews, adding that there are three separate outdoor spaces on the museum campus, 1417 Thames St., with seating for up to 1,000 people.

Furthermore, she says, two floors of spaces are available indoors, “with amazing views of the harbor, exposed brick, balconies and hardwood floors that

have been hand-milled and cut by our employees and students.”

The museum is certainly popular, hosting 35-40 weddings per year.

Similarly to the BMI, facility rental fees go toward “providing educational programming on the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park Museum’s campus,” says Reeves Jews.

The bottomline? The Maritime Museum Park is an ideal spot, thanks to “exceptional caterers, beautiful photos, incredible sunsets and customer service,” Reeves Jews adds.

And, she says, for couples who tie the know on New Year’s Eve or the Fourth of July, spectacular fireworks create an unforgettable backdrop.

opportunities available for students elsewhere in the school system, BCPS’s closure recommendation stated.

The number of FAST students who scored “proficient” or “advanced” on the math portion of the Maryland School Assessment test—administered to third-through-eighth graders—fell 28.3 percentage points between 2011 and 2013, according to school reports.

For the 2012-2013 school year, only 20.9 percent of students at the science and technology school scored “proficient” or “advanced” on the math test.

FAST’s Algebra and English Maryland High School Assessment pass rates also declined significantly from the 2011-2012 to the 2012-2013 school years—from 60 to 52.8 percent for Algebra, and 72.7 to 58.4 percent for English.

Additionally, the school operator’s most recent renewal report indicates ineffectiveness in many areas of the renewal rubric.

It scored “ineffective” in 10 of 12 areas of the academic success portion of the report, and “ineffective” in five of 10 areas in the “school climate” section of the report—most notably in teacher-, student-, and parent-satisfaction, cohort retention, and effective programming for students with disabilities. FAST had 109 students with disabilities according to the BCPS FAST closure report.

The school has also experienced significant truancy problems, and students from FAST have been involved in multiple incidents in the community over the years, including vandalism, assault, and theft, including a lunch-time assault and theft in Patterson Park involving staff at Patterson Park Public Charter School.

Mike Beczkowski, Canton resident and Canton Community Association board member, says he has mixed emotions over FAST’s closure.

“It always bothers me whenever I see an academic institution fail and close. However, given the safety of our community and the well-being of our residents, it probably will help eliminate some of the problems we’re currently facing,” he says.

The FAST building will become a new elementary/middle school for the Southeast Baltimore area, which is expected to have at least 1,000 more elementary/middle school students by 2019-2020.

Canton Community Association President Sean Flanagan sums up the feelings of many Southeast Baltimore residents toward FAST when he says he’s not looking backward.

“It’s more of a closed chapter for me,” he says, adding that he’s more focused on the FAST building becoming a new elementary/middle school, and as the new president of the CCA, he wants the community to have a voice in that process.

A design and a feasibility study for renovating 801 S. Highland Ave for the new elementary/middle school is slated to begin this spring.

“We are working on the timing and structure for that process and hope to communicate with the community about that soon,” says Alison Perkins-Cohen, executive director of BCPS Office of New Initiatives.

Construction is slated to begin on the 801 S. Highland Ave. building in 2016, with completion in 2018, and the school open for students for the 2018-2019 school year.

Plank, secondary to the above. Therefore, “we have no financing contingencies,”he said.

“This will be financed with [Plank’s] wherewithal,” said Siegel.

Siegel said that with this morning’s presentation he was starting an “open dialog” with the community regarding the project, and also hoping to gain the community’s support.

The centerpiece of the renovation isa “world-class, luxury boutique hotel,”Siegel said.

The design team—Todd Harvey of Beatty, Harvey, Coco Architects and Patrick Sutton of Patrick Sutton Architects—outlined the plans for the hotel.

Sutton said that the target “customer profile” is a person between 30 and mid-50s with disposable income, “the kind of person who is going to pick a small, character-driven hotel that is ...ingrained into a community that has the qualities that this community already has.”

“They’re the kind of people that are world travelers who are interested in the arts,” Sutton added.

He called the hotel’s amenities, including a restaurant, “high-end but not pretentious.”

Harvey said that the overall character of the building would remain the same, and the process would be more renovation than rebuilding. He said that though the building itself is in “excellent shape,” the pier behind and underneath is gradually falling apart in the water.

Harvey said that clear wall of glass would cover the open arch on the building that currently fronts Thames St. Behind the glass would be “the main public space” of the building, containing a restaurant, bar, lounge and hotel lobby. On the second floor of the “head house,” the portion of the building closest to Thames St., will be a fitness facility and spa for hotel guests. Above that, a maple-floored ballroom will be available for events such as weddings.

The hotels 128 guest rooms would be located on the pier itself. The rooms would wrap an interior courtyard; the outer rooms would look directly over the harbor, and the inner rooms would look into the courtyard.

Vehicles would be transferred via valet service to off-street locations nearby, Siegel said. A commitment has already been made with the Harbor Point developers for use of a parking facility, he added.

Regarding the amount of jobs created by

The Fell’s Point Recreation Pier was built in 1914. It was fi rst used as a processing center for newly-arrived immigrants and as a recreation facility for the community. | Photo by Erik Zygmont


Rec Pier: Will developer get Promenade variance?

the hotel, Siegel said, “I think we’re looking at somewhere north of a hundred.”

Currently, the “stumbling block on moving the project forward through the next set of approvals” is the city’s requirement that the waterfront Promenade be continuously located along the water’s edge from Canton through Federal Hill, said Harvey.

In the case of the Recreation Pier, the Promenade would have to wrap the outside of the hotel. This presents a problem, said Harvey, because the building comes to within 4 feet of the edge of the pier, leaving a dangerously thin strip for the Promenade. Harvey added that constructing a wider Promenade would require that the developer obtain more “water rights,” adding another two years to the permitting process.

Instead of wrapping the building with the Promenade, the architects proposed that Sagamore Development would widen and improve the sidewalk on the south side of Thames St. from S. Ann St. to S. Broadway. They are currently eyeing a sidewalk width of 18 feet, with tree wells, benches and lighting.

Siegel said that Sagamore Development will be soliciting the support of the five Fell’s Point community groups for this option. Harvey noted that having to adhere to the letter of the city’s Promenade requirement “quite frankly might derail the project, or make the project somewhat unfeasible.”

The price tag for the renovation is currently a “moving target” somewhere between $60 and $70 million, Siegel said.

“We really need your support and your help to get across the finish line,” reiterated Siegel.

Members of Fell’s Point Main Street reacted favorably to the proposal.

“I think it’s wonderful,” said Ron Furman, owner of Max’s Taphouse, “because the alternative is we’re just going to watch it fall into the harbor.”

Fell’s Point resident Lew Diuguid inquired about public access to the proposed hotel. The response was that the situation would be similar to Harbor East’s Four Seasons: The public is free to go into the restaurant or lounge and have a drink.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
