Paid a brief visit to Baltimore and Fell’s Point in particular this week, trying to get a feel for what would have been lost had I-83 gone through Baltimore neighborhoods like Fell’s Point.

Here are brick and stucco townhouses on cobblestone streets, public markets, waterfront bars and restaurants and commercial bakeries all within a few blocks of one another. The air smells of cinnamon and yeast, sea salt and beer

Anniken Davenport writes from Rupert, Vermont. For a short time, she occupied Flannery O'Connor's Savannah basement. Born in Oslo post-war, she was raised on stories of the Nazi occupation and was fascinated by Edvard Munch paintings. She holds a dual concentration fiction and nonfiction MA in writing from Johns Hopkins and a JD from Penn State. Her day jobs consist of teaching undergraduates the nuances of business law, writing college textbooks and HR newsletters. She abhors the lie that is postmodernism. View all posts by annikendavenport
