On sunday morning there was a fire in Baltimore near the clipper mill complex. I had no idea there had been a fire earlier as I was driving through the area on my way to other MDP posts, even though a road had been blocked off and that made it inconvenient for me to get back to the main streets. In fact, I took this picture without realizing just how relevant it was. The clipper mill community is a conglomeration of former industrial buildings that have slowly and partially been renovated into living spaces and small retail establishments and other spaces given vague titles like, ”space for artisans.”
The location is hard to beat, being near the highway and light rail, but isolated enough to give a sense of community. The only detractor is the lack of residents. The building that caught on fire was in fact vacant, and the clipper mill revitalization project went bankrupt last year. Hope is not lost, and the neighborhood is still growing, just slowly.
