Fun Little Tid-Bit

The owners of Chubby's Pub (4314 Curtis Ave.) in 2000 are listed as I Dunno and DA King.

The Directories are coming along smoothly, but if I could get pictures or copies of the Patapsco and Pennington reverse look ups from Rachel, Elaine, and Tom that would be very helpful!!

Street Directory!!

I am working on getting the street directory together in a spread sheet. The information gets difficult depending on the years. Between 1926 and 1930 the street was renumbered and redirected and some intersections were changed so i'm working on making sure the addresses line up so we have a true representation on the property ownership over the years.

Budget and Concept

I would like to start getting the stuff together for the budget. With tshirts becoming necessary I'm going to need to start getting the money straightened out. The history committee should discuss with dr. King about posting our stuff to the mapping baybrook website. And we need to work on our concept.

From all that we have done, I feel like our event is the introduction of the website to the community and our Main Street set up is the physical manifestation of the website.

Main Street in the 40's

I had a lot of material to weed through since most of the articles from the 40's revolved around the docks and businesses on the water. I did manage to find some stuff about businesses on the main streets but not much information, they were mostly references to the locations.

Hub Furniture Co. – 710 Penna. Ave

Wrecking Corp. of America – Pennington Ave Extension

Brooklyn Apts. – 10^th st @ Patapsco ave

Walnut Spring Hotel – Hanover @ Patapsco : stood in front of a portion of the river that was deep enough for boats to bring patrons to the hotel, now it is shallow and full of muck.

Committee Plans

I am in charge of balancing the budget, researching Baltimore based t-shirt screen printing, and booze.

I am also waiting to hear back about another possible catering option. I will contact a family friend who owns a printing company about cheap flyers and banners for the event. I recently discovered that my cousin works at a Vet's office in the area and plan to talk to her about possibly getting some flyers out to her to place in the office.

I plan to research the water front property and the companies and residents who have moved through over the years. The Baltimore Sun Historical may have articles on opening or closing of plants or businesses around the area. Census records can help me track the boom and bust of residential life in the area. The research will become a social history of the coast of Baybrooke.
