It's Election Day in America. If you are not registered to vote, you can register when you go to your polling place. Go to the Maryland Board of Elections website to confirm where your polling place is, and bring some form of ID that proves you live in the district you're voting in. If you are using a mail-in ballot, you have until 8:00 tonight to drop your ballot in one of the drop boxes in your jurisdiction. If you are going to mail your ballot, it must be postmarked by 8:00 tonight. Nationally, more than 42 million people have already cast ballots. As of this morning, just under 400,000 people had submitted mail-in ballots here in MD. Another 382,000 voted early, in person. It will be more than a week before we have the final tallies in MD races. It could take even longer in other states. We hope you will join us tonight for Election Night in Maryland. Tom will be here in Studio A, beginning when the polls close at 8:00. NPR will cover the national races that will determine control of Congress and several Governor's seats. He'll have election results from across Maryland, as they become available. Again, our special live coverage begins at 8:00. _____________________________________________________ Today here on Midday, we're going to turn our attention to one of the features of city life here in Baltimore that make our city a great and unique place: our city's markets. Our system of markets is the oldest in the country, dating from the 1780s. Lexington Market gets a lot of attention as the city's largest market, but the other city markets scattered throughout the city are also vibrant food emporiums and community hubs. Tom's guest for the hour today is Paul Ruppert. He is the president and CEO of the Baltimore Public Markets Corporation, the non-profit company runs the city's six historic markets. They include: Broadway Market, Cross Street Market, Hollins Market, Northeast Market, Avenue Market and the separately incorporated Lexington Market, which is currently re-opening after a four-year, $45 million renovation project.

Building Spotlight: "https://www.instagram.com/tangibleremnants/ (The Arch Social Club) is the oldest known continuously operating African American social club in the United States and the oldest predominately African American social club in Baltimore. The Arch Social Club move into the former Schantze's Theatre in 1972. The Schantze's Theatre was built in 1912 as a vaudeville and silent film theatre. [The building had many lives before the Arch Social Club moved in 1972,] including two stints as a theatre for African Americans, and at one point served as a theatre for Jewish immigrants, showing Yiddish films and hosting live entertainment." - https://bit.ly/3uIS4IU (CHAP Report) Links: https://parriscandd.com/ (Parris Construction & Development) https://www.instagram.com/tangibleremnants/ (Tangible Remnants on Instagram) https://linktr.ee/TangibleRemnants (LinkedTr.ee for resources) https://www.podpage.com/tangible-remnants/ (Tangible Remnants Website) https://gablmedia.com/ (Gabl Media Network) https://sarahgilberg.bandcamp.com/releases (Sarah Gilberg's Music) Bio: Tonya Harris, founder of Parris Construction and Development, is a 20+ year veteran in real estate development.

On Episode 7 of This Week in South Baltimore, Nate and Kevin discuss a barrage of new business news that include The Local Oyster coming to Locust Point, two Latin American businesses opening in Federal Hill, a coffee shop opening in Pigtown, a renovated Hollins Market reopening, and two gyms opening in Locust Point. Plus, we discuss real estate news including two park master plans, more apartments for Downtown, and more storage for Carroll-Camden. We cap it off with some cool stories around the neighborhood, and talk about some great plates around South Baltimore.

Locals call Hollins Market ‘The Gem of Baltimore,’ and while the lines of customers used to wind around the block, more than half the stalls are now empty.  Hollins Market vendors talk about the past and present of Baltimore’s oldest city market. Plus, a hip hop artist remembers working in a horse stable, an astrophysics major survives a natural disaster, and a muralist explores the metaphor of a butterfly’s metamorphosis.

In Southwest Baltimore’s Hollins Market neighborhood, a barber survives a shooting and goes back to work the next day; two young artists support each other in life, love, and business; a clothing entrepreneur talks about the power of style; a puppeteer ponders his relationship to his audience; and a CPR instructor recalls the first time she needed to use her life-saving skills.

Just when you thought you had winter beat… You thought wrong.   Surprise.     Unpredictable weather.   Dicey temperatures.   Gardeners need resilience.  If Spring’s arrival is dashing your hope,  start to look for the survivors in your garden. In your neighborhood. In your city.  On your social media feed.   Every Spring - no matter the conditions, there are successes.  Hardy Daffodils. Forsythia.  Lungwart.  Snowdrops.  Magnolias. Look for the plants that survive and thrive despite the challenges of Spring.  Plant more of those plants.  Find joy in those plants.  Improve your resiliency by mirroring the resilience of your garden. Brevities #OTD Born today in 1854, the extraordinary floral still life painter and teacher Mary Hiester Reid (Books By This Author).     Born in Pennsylvania, Mary Augusta Hiester met George Reid(who was six years younger than her) at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts during school sketching trips. George later recalled that the trips were not only great for art’s sake, but they also gave him the chance to be with, “the beautiful Mary Hiester on their expeditions”.    After that, they often worked together and that winter, Mary invited George to accompany her back home for a weekend of sketching on the Schuykill (“Sk-ooh-kill”) River.  Their fates were sealed together when they married in 1885.   The Reids spent every summer from 1891 to 1916 at Onteora(“Aunty Aura”), a private literary and artistic club founded by American artist Candace Wheeler in the Catskill Mountains near Tannersville, N.Y. They had a house and a studio, both designed on arts and crafts principles by George. They spent their time painting and teaching, their studio having accommodation for ten students, some of whom came from as far away as Toronto.   "A self-adopted Canadian who loved Canada", Mary was very humble.  In 1910, a reviewer wrote in The Globe, “Nothing can tempt her to talk about her pictures.”  Mary was one of the first women accepted into the Ontario Society of Artistsand the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.     Her painting, Hollyhocks, is a personal favorite.    Reid was the preeminent female artist of Canada when she died.   She was celebrated for her, "study and interpretation of Nature in those aspects that appealed most to her...glimpses of spring and autumn woodland, moonlit vistas, gorgeously colorful gardens, lovely skies, divinely tinted ends of evening, and the countless flowers of the fields….” In 1922, a year after her death, Reid was the first female to be featured with a solo exhibition at the Art Gallery of Toronto    She willed her husband to her friend and rival - the younger painter and printmaker (24 years her junior) Mary Evelyn Wrinch.   It’s the birthday of landscape architect David Darrell. A semi-retired Harford County landscape architect.  Darrell was born and raised in Claymont, Delaware, and was raised on his family's farm. Some of his commissions included the prayer garden at Greater Baltimore Medical Center, the Largo Animal Preserve in Prince George's County, and Little Lithuania Park near Hollins Market among others. He also designed courtyards and tennis courts. His wife Edna said  "David came into my life in August 2006; I was looking for someone to create a new garden. I looked in the Yellow Pages and five people came to interview. There was something about him. He studied the plants with big, gentle hands, he trimmed and shaped them. He was hired on the spot.”   David Darrel died of brain cancer in 2015. Unearthed Words Here’s a memorial poem for Mary Hiester Ried written by Canadian newspaperman and a native son of Scotland, Duncan Sutherland Macorquodale - reprinted in the 9th Volume of The Canadian Theosophist (Toronto) November 15, 1921 Vol 9. There’s a reference to Wychwood; the Reid's house, Upland Cottage, was located in Wychwood Park - an artist’s enclave of 60 homes tucked away in a private ravine setting atop the rolling wooded hills of the Davenport Ridge in Toronto.   MARY HIESTER REID  Obit. Oct. 4, 1921.    Free from the thrall called life,  Palette and brush laid down;  Off with achievement’s strife,  Donned the immortal’s crown;  Yet hovers she near ’neath the Wychwoodtree,  This, the roses she painted, tell to me.    Knelt not to gods of dress,  Knew naught of gossip’s blight,  Lived she to work and bless;  This was her heart’s delight.  And the smile of welcome to all she gave,  Would fashion a knight from the meanest slave.    Why mourn we our loved, laid low?  We also our time abide.  Are they lost because they go?  Nay! for they have not died.  The body rests, but the soul is free  To charm as of old with it’s melody.   Queen, both of roses and hearts,  Her mortal course well run;  Her’s ‘both the good and the better parts;  Martha, and Mary, in one.  Still reigns she here, while there her body lies.  The good, the pure, the noble, never dies.  Today's book recommendation  The Garden Awakening: Designs to Nurture Our Land and Ourselves By Mary Reynolds   An award-winning garden designer's practical how-to book with stories and philosophy.   The Garden Awakeningis a step-by-step manual to help create a garden in harmony with the life force in the earth; addressing not only what the people in charge of the land want but also asking what the land wants to become. Mary Reynolds demonstrates how to create a groundbreaking garden that is not simply a solitary space but an expanding, living, interconnected ecosystem. Drawing on old Irish ways and methods of working with the land, this beautiful book is both art and inspiration for any garden lover seeking to create a positive, natural space. Today's Garden Chore April is the perfect time to prune grape vines. Remove dead vines.  Guide vines along trellis, arbors, or fences.  Now is a great time to repair support structures as well. Something Sweet  Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart #OTD The first Arbor Day in the US was observed in “treeless Nebraska” on April 10, 1872.  It was established for the state of Nebraska by the Honorable J. Sterling Mortonof Nebraska - later secretary of agriculture.  The most memorable stat from that first Arbor Day is that around a million trees were planted in Nebraska on this day in 1872 – the first Arbor Dayin America. Thanks for listening to the daily gardener, and remember: for a happy, healthy life - garden every day.

What Up, Get Up Nation? My name is Ben Biddick, the Host of the Get Up Nation Podcast and Co-Author of Get Up: The Art of Perseverance with former Major League Baseball player and CEO of Lurong Living, Adam Greenberg. Recently I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Troy Staton, the owner of New Beginnings Barbershop in Baltimore, Maryland. Troy has been a barber for 30 years in Baltimore, ten of them at New Beginnings in Hollins Market in Southwest Baltimore. Troy says about New Beginnings, “My shop is more than a barbershop. It’s where I share my passion for art with the community, it’s where my son Rashad brings young men together to talk about their dreams and challenges in ShopTalk meetings, and it’s where I join with businesses to bring health screenings and services to the community.” Troy says, “Being a barber is how I make my living, but the community inside and outside the barbershop is my life.” Troy almost lost his life this year on Halloween. Troy has described how “a frustrated, misguided young man" came into the barbershop shooting. “He wasn’t aiming for me, but I was shot along with another client,” Troy said. Troy survived that night, and not only that, he has persevered to be a powerful, resilient voice and example in his community. He is striving with renewed passion to end the violence in our communities. He said, “A bullet is not going to stop me. I’m ready to elevate even further, to keep pushing for our community, especially for young men like the man who shot me, whose life circumstances lead them to feel they have no option other than violence. I want to reach them and show them that there’s another way.” I am absolutely honored that Troy has taken time to speak with me on the Get Up Nation Podcast!

A conversation with Joshua Harris, the Green Party candidate for mayor of Baltimore in November’s general election. In his campaign, Harris has pushed a plan to create a public bank to provide capital to finance local projects. He also wants to attract clean-energy manufacturing jobs and “transform a blue-collar town into a green-collar town.” Harris, a Chicago native, sits on the boards of Southwest Partnership, Charles Village Urban Renewal Plan Community Review Board and Paul’s Place Community Advisory Board. He co-founded Hollins Creative Placemaking, which aims to revitalize the historic Hollins Market community.Links:http://www.harrisforbaltimore.com/
