I call them townhomes.

If someone called them Shotguns, that's a specific type of row home that I'm not even sure is popular in Baltimore City. There's a straight line of sight from the front of the house to the back, and they're long and narrow but not tall. Tend to be one floor.

I lived in reservoir hill for 2 years when I first moved to the city and mount Vernon for 7 years after that. You’re not going to tell me, brooo. Stick with what you know, which is the waterfront.

I’d be very surprised if this is not what OP heard. Very common amongst older folks in Baltimore.

you're such an asshole while being so incredibly wrong. yes, there exist brownstones, but they are a minority of houses in the neighborhoods where they exist, and most neighborhoods have none at all.

how many brownstones are there in sandtown? how many in westport? how many in highlandtown?

tell me which neighborhood has the most brownstones? mt Vernon is still mostly brick. Bolton hill is still mostly brick. reservoir hill is still mostly brick. the neighborhoods around druid hill park are mostly brick. maybe you should actually visit a neighborhood and not just drive the main thoroughfare where the brownstones are.

Yeah this neighborhood is losing this bodega (which went way downhill) but Northeast market is like 3 blocks north of here.

Thanks, BmoreCityDOT! Props for good government service! 👏

So this sign isn't ours, but we're attempting to let the owner know it got hacked.

How does the heavy rail line not go anywhere? The York road corridor is the highest ridership public transit line in the city that doesn't have rail, its projected to grow 20-40% in the next 20 years, it hits so many major points in the city (Penn Station, Charles Center metro connection, Federal Hill). Its terminus can be used as a park and ride to get cars off 83, and being grade separated heavy rail it can actually get downtown in a reasonable time compared to the existing light rail that gets stuck on Howard St.

The only part of it that doesn't really make sense is Port Covington, but if that gets turned into a park and ride as well for i95... there ya go.

Yes, and we were off for President's Day too. We had to be up late to get this emergency notice up.

An update.

There is a certain subset of rowhomes that are called "painted ladies." They're a little bigger than the normal colonial box rowhomes, have actual front porches instead of stoops, usually some ornate molding on the roof, and bay windows on the upper level. The molding is usually painted in different colors, often bright ones. The most celebrated are probably the ones on Calvert, Guilford and Abell between 33rd and 28th or so, but you'll see this style in a lot of neighborhoods around the city.

There is also another particular subset of rowhome, I'm not sure what they are actually called, but a lot of people call them "keelty" after the developer that built a lot of them a century ago. They're kind of a transition to the modern suburban townhouse. They look like the normal colonial box rowhomes, but are wider and will have a porch with a (usually) green awning, but still retain the flat roof of a rowhome. I have only ever seen this style on the north side of the city, but the style bled into some of the first developments in the inner county as well. I've seen them in parts of Catonsville, Pikesville and Parkville that are right up against the city line.

Because you're too busy trying to make people feel dumb on the internet?

Nice

Great pic! One of the most slept on airports & one im proud is my main one. Traffic is usually pretty decent, security lines are very short on average, flights are the cheapest in the region, and it’s got a pretty simple layout. And you can be in downtown in probably about 15 minutes after leaving

“A brownstone is a type of townhouse made of a brown sand stone that was commonly used to build these types of homes. Townhouses can be built of any material many were made of brick. If it is made of brick it is a townhouse but not a brownstone. So brownstones are townhouses but not all townhouses are brownstones.”

“If you are wondering what the distinction between a row house and townhouse is, there really isn't much of one—both are attached to their neighbors. The only real difference is that townhouses might not be exactly the same—they can differ in height, stories, and width, whereas row houses are uniformly laid out.”

1. Homes made with brownstone.

2. A good portion of Baltimore you apparently have never been to or seen.

1. what are you defining as a brownstone?
2. what percentage of baltimore rowhouses do you think are brownstones?

Huh, I grew up around Baltimore and never heard it until I moved to Nashville

Mark Sapperstein has gotten many of those tifs and land grab superfund sites. He’s the developer of locust point/mchenry row, Canton and the residential of port Covington

Unfortunately the moderators wouldn’t approve the other version of my post because it had a link to the developer’s crowdfunding effort. Fox was the only news station who covered the efforts, I don’t think my notes from the meeting would be good posting material. The information in the Fox article is the same information shared with the community by the councilman and the mayor’s office.

I think you need to leave to waterfront neighborhoods bro…. Mount Vernon, Bolton hill, Reservoir Hill, plus all the hoods around Druid hill park (the black parts) of Baltimore are indeed brownstones.

And they gave the developer free money (tifs) to do it. And they provided the infrastructure as well.
