Tours of Baltimore's iconic Phoenix Shot Tower have long been limited to the first two floors. But thanks to nearly $1 million in safety and infrastructural improvements by Plano-Coudon, visitors will soon get to make the climb to the top.​ https://t.co/OoAB4OtoD8

Once the summer estate of an eccentric railroad builder, The Crimea is one Baltimore’s hidden gems. Visitors to Leakin Park might even hike over remnants of the fort he built around it.https://t.co/oS8SeSFl3E

Did you know that the clock overlooking the station plaza is eight feet in diameter and that the hands are actually made of wood? As part of the historic preservation process, the clock and surrounding sculpture are being fully cleaned and returned to working order. pic.twitter.com/aIwm860dOj
