The Baltimore Fish Market was located on Market Place. The market moved to Jessup, MD. The building is occupied by Port Discovery. As I recall, it was primarily a wholesale market and was open from something like 6 am to 3 pm. I took some black-and-white photos in the 1970s.
The Peale Museum in Baltimore reopened in 2022. It was the first building in the Western Hemisphere designed as a museum.
They have to be an improvement over John Angelos who is a stingy liar. Now we will see if the new owners spend the money to keep the Orioles’ best young players or sign a free agent starting pitcher. I am a little concerned that these are private equity guys but we’ll see if they apply tough tactics to the Orioles finances. I sure hope not.
If they want to sell naming rights to the stadium, I am fine with that if they use the money on player salaries.
This is terrible news. I encourage everyone to read the Baltimore Banner.
It was vacant and in bad condition.
The Orioles are having a great season on the field but a terrible one off the field thanks to John Angelos who now runs the team.
They haven’t signed an extension to the lease which runs out at the end of this year. Both the Orioles and Ravens get $600 million from the state for stadium upgrades if they sign the extension which the Ravens have done.
Baltimore fans worry about moving the team because we are scarred by the move of the Colts almost 40 years ago. It’s not likely but here’s a scenario I haven’t seen discussed: How about the Orioles moving to Nashville and Baltimore getting an expansion team? Something similar happened in 1961 when the Senators moved to Minnesota and Washington got a new team (that is now the Rangers). I don’t think MLB would leave Baltimore without a team but this is a small market.
Angelos’s ideas are not realistic and asking for another $300 million is outrageous. There is not enough room downtown for what he wants to do. Why make unreasonable demands? Is this an excuse to move the team?
Camden Yards looks great but I think the next Baltimore stadium will be in the suburbs because of the perceived safety issues. I also think it will have a dome because of global warming.
Then there’s the apparent suspension of broadcaster Kevin Brown and Brown’s tweets, which as others have noted, read like a hostage video. Angelos was wrong on this, too. Brown’s contract is up and I wouldn’t be shocked if he left after this year. We have been through this before too when Angelos’s father forced Jon Miller out of town.
John Angelos is terrible. He wants something that is probably impossible to do. There isn’t much room around the stadium for additional development. I wonder if anyone has considered a high-rise garage to replace the parking lots.
I live in Baltimore but don’t recall this.
Sad!
