Today is another installment in our series, Midday in the Neighborhood, which we produce in cooperation with our news partners, the Baltimore Banner. The series examines issues facing some of Baltimore's 278 different communities. Today, we turn our focus to Locust Point, and a community garden that is facing an existential crisis. The Banner's Cadence Quaranta reports that, “Under Armour owns the garden plot located near its Tide Point headquarters. It opened it up to the community around 2018, but it expects to put the land on the market, according to a spokesperson. The sports apparel company is set to wind down operations in Locust Point and move to its new corporate headquarters in the Baltimore Peninsula by the end of next year.” Tom speaks with Dave Arndt, the manager of the Locust Point Community Garden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Spring has sprung, and we're celebrating it with frozen treats, delicious eats, and artisanal caffeine to keep you motivated for your warm-weather fun! We began our show by staring at clouds...Cloud Cups to be exact! Galen Thomas, who founded Cloud Cups in 2018, joined us to announce the Grand-opening of his first brick and mortar location in Philadelphia's Fishtown neighborhood. Thomas, who co-owns the popular gelato company along with Kolande Oronti and Drew Posey, is opening Cloud Cups where Little Baby's Ice Cream was previously located. What's even more exciting than enjoying the sweet frozen treats? How about grabbing a slice of 'za from Pizza Brain and some of Thomas' gelato! That's right--the best of both (culinary) worlds is back: Pizza and Gelato from two Philly favorites! And if you want to learn more about Cloud Cups, or taste some of Galen's delicious flavor creations for yourself, order some online to be shipped or stop by when he opens Cloud Cups in a few weeks! Now that you've made room for dessert, we've invited a spectacular guest to join our table: Executive Chef Matthew Audette joined us on Food Farms and Chefs to chat about Copper Shark Baltimore. Copper Shark Baltimore (CSB), which is located in the Locust Point neighborhood of Baltimore, MD, is home to Maryland's history during the prohibition era. Unfortunately, the pandemic delayed the opening date for Copper Shark Baltimore. However, the wait was worth it, as evidenced by the need to make reservations asap. You'll be delighted when you visit CSB for brunch, lunch, or dinner--there's so much to indulge in with exquisite meals curated by Chef Audette. Everything on the menu is inspired by foods that Matthew loves, which he incorporated from various places he lived like Boston and New York. Equally as passionate are the selections of Bourbons and Whiskeys offered at Copper Shark Baltimore; given the history of the building, the owners brought a nod to the locations' previous business in the Copper industry speak-easy, leaving a still that will eventually be used to create a house-made whiskey. If you want to hear more about Copper Shark Baltimore, tune in to this week's show! Lastly, we spoke with single-origin coffee roaster, Luis Gongora who owns Vamo Coffee Company in Philadelphia. Gongora was inspired while working in restaurants for eleven years and was drawn to the science behind brewing and roasting coffee and tea. After learning from other roasters, like industry leader Scott Rao, Luis brought his adoration of caffeinated beverages to new origins. He now works closely with two companies that introduce him to seasonal coffee beans from small-batch farms and roasting them to peak perc-fection; the outcome lends itself to flavorful brews that highlight the regions they hail from, moreover the cherries they were picked from. If you would like to learn more, visit Vamo Coffee Company for classes, coffee, and more!

He earned his Law Degree at William and Mary in 1995 and he was admitted to the Maryland bar that year. After clerking for Judge David B. Mitchell on the Circuit Court of Baltimore City, he was offered the position of assistant state's attorney in Baltimore. He worked in the Juvenile Crime Division and later, the Homicide Division. Since 2006, when he started his own law practice, Bates & Garcia, P.C., he has been a successful defense attorney. Ivan Bates is the divorced father of a young daughter. He lives in Locust Point.

Laura Lippmanhas published two dozen novels, most set in Baltimore, most mysteries. But her newest is the first she calls a book of horror.

It’s an easy and comfortable ride for Baltimoreans to get from Highlandtown on the east side of the harbor to Locust Point on the west. But up through the late 1940s ferry boats carried hundreds daily, from one side of the harbor to the other. And during WWII shipyard workers aboard created the first, last, and oldest establishment floating crap game in Baltimore.
On the Saturday night of July 7, 1937, crowds are making their way along the Light Street below Pratt to Pier 5, there to board the moonlight excursion boat, the Bay Belle. The boat would go down as far as Fort McHenry and then turn around and come back to Pier 5, an hour or so later.But on its way past the Hull street wharf in Locust Point the boat would pass a gang of six or seven-year-old boys frolicking on the pier, watching the Bay Belle slip by. They had their own way of greeting the passengers on the boat, and this is the story of that special way.

When buying a condo in Philadelphia, you get a 5 day review period to read your condo documents...read them!!Here are a few things that you may not have known are pretty standard in condo docs in Center City:1) Almost all associations charge 2 months capital contribution- means you pay 2 months condo fees to the association- not the owner, but the association- Helps build the kitty.2) You better check the pet policy- A few years back a young woman bought a Philadelphia condo at Locust Point, then had to sell because she ignored the pet policy- her dog was too big. And she of course wasn't parting with the dog, so she parted with the condo.3) Rental Restrictions- Becoming more and more common in condo docs and their rules and regs- which can be a huge value-preserving tool for the association.4) Future Assessments- Will tell you if any assessments have been approved for the future. Not “discussing assessments” but real approved assessments. There is a difference.5) The Budget- This is a biggie. You may want to see how much $$ is on hand for future improvements- should correspond to building size and age. New buildings have little reserve- and often, they don’t need them- there is no differed maintenance beyond cosmetic often.Click play button below to listen now!
