Ghosted by a City | Baltimore’s Historic Old Town Mall | Aerial shots, History & More

Welcome back explorers! I had an amazing time exploring this historic section of Baltimore. I drove many hours and it was worth it to bring you along on my experience of this place and in the next few videos I’ll be taking you to some amazing locations. Sadly, this area seems to be forgotten by the city, it resembles a modern day ghost town and is nearly all but abandoned. Please enjoy the architecture, the histor, the hues and the views of this amazing city! Thank you for joining me on my journeys, following in the adventures and sharing in the experience. Stay safe, have fun & Never Stop Exploring 🍃 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CONSTRUCTED IN 1818, THIS OUTDOOR shopping district has seen many periods of decline, revival and decline again. At its peak of 64 stores, Old Town (also known as Gay Street) was a thriving retail area designed to increase commercial purpose in the surrounding area. The market transformed the area into a diverse, middle-class neighborhood, making it an ideal neighborhood for families and downtown workers with its proximity to the Inner Harbor of Baltimore.  After the post-war era pushed families to suburban areas, the population dwindled and Old Town became one of the poorest areas in Baltimore. With decreased customers, many of the shops were forced to close or adapt to changes.  After the Baltimore Riot of 1968, the City of Baltimore attempted to revamp the mall by turning the area into a pedestrian-only zone, renaming it Old Town Mall. The city spent well over $1,000,000 on the project, even adding a large fountain in the center and an art-deco clock tower at the entrance.  By the 1980s, the area had fallen back into its disarray due to poverty and unemployment in the surrounding area that the city failed to fix. Today, the mall has only one shop running and many of the other buildings are closed, abandoned, or completely destroyed. 1 dollar homes for sale in Baltimore https://www.governing.com/community/o...
