Streets Market grocery to open on North Avenue next to Reservoir Square

May 2025

In a ceremony akin to those that used to announce the circus coming to town, every elected official from near and far showed up on April 28 at a long-vacant property located across from Bolton Hill’s northeastern boundary. All came to announce the arrival, someday on this space, of a new 12,000 square-foot full-service grocery store –  Streets Market.

Leopoldo Cuspinera Madrigal: from Mexico to Bolton Hill

May 2025

Imagine being in a space where you can feel the warmth of the sun, the breeze through a field, and the stillness of glaziers, all around you. This is one way to experience the art in the parlor room of Leopoldo Cuspinera Madrigal’s newly renovated workplace in Lauraville. Part gallery, part studio, part elegant home, this has been Cuspinera’s most recent project, and his paintings grace the walls and hallways of the first and second floor.

Historic Bolton Hill: In search of the lost Mt, Royal Pumping Station...

May 2025

At an April get-together, a neighbor mentioned historic artifacts hiding in plain sight on a curb near the northeastern edge of the neighborhood. According to the preservation agency CHAP, the east side of Mt. Royal Avenue isn’t considered part of Bolton Hill; I don’t know what other neighborhood it would belong to. According to the official Live Baltimore neighborhoods map, it’s in-bounds, Bolton Hill proper. I went to investigate.

Run, don’t Walk to MICA’s ArtWalk!

May 2025

One of the things I love about Bolton Hill is having the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in our midst. The energy and creativity of our student neighbors, as well as the many opportunities to participate in MICA programs and events, add to the vitality of our neighborhood.

Neighborhood volunteers give Contee-Parago Park a facelift

May 2025

One of Bolton Hills’ older parks has undergone a new freshening, thanks to neighborhood  volunteers. At the southern end of the neighborhood sits Contee-Parago Park.
