The Rock bar in the old Congress Hotel building, on Franklin Street, was called (I think) "The Marble Bar". I never made it there, either, although I recall hearing
that pioneering Rock guitar legend Link Wray played there in either the 70's or 80's.
I grew up on Eutaw St. (1946-1974). It's criminal that the succeeding generations of city politicians (including William Donald Schaefer) allowed the historic downtown business district to be reduced to ghetto status, while whooping up the wonders of the Inner Harbor and later projects. They should all burn in hell, forever.
Brings back some memories, though so much of Baltimore I knew while growing up in the 1950s and 1960s is gone - the old streetcars, the BIG downtown dept stores, the wholesale fish market, west side neighborhood movie theatres like the Edmondson Village, Edgewood, Westway & Irvington - but at least a few downtown gems along Eutaw like the Hippodrome and Lexington Market are survivors.
This had to be a Sunday when u walked pass Lexington Market... U really didnt capture the crowds of nodding people that gather there on a daily basis!
I'm coming from Utah to see Eutaw Street. I love it. Go, O's!
