Fans organize to honor Orioles great Paul Blair
CONTINUED ON PAGE 9
In the symbiotic relationship between Major League Baseball and the fans, sometimes the fans have to take the lead.
At the Sept. 12 double-header between the Orioles and the New York Yankees, the fans will be doing just that, holding up homemade signs to honor one of their favorites, Paul Blair.
“There’s going to be a day game and a night game,” says Rafael Alvarez, a writer (Baltimore Sun, City Paper, “The Wire,” etc.) who has helped spearhead the tribute. “We’re asking every O’s fan who’s going to make a homemade sign--’We love Paul Blair’--and just hold it up at the game.”
And just who was Paul Blair?“For all of us guys between 50 and 60, Paul
Blair was our hero when we were kids and wanted to be baseball players,” explains Alvarez.

you have to do is ask (and present a reasonable plan). The association recently received a quarter of a million dollars in
grant money from the Chesapeake Bay Trust, which will go toward greening measures that will ultimately help protect the bay.

stormwater runoff, such as planters and rain barrels. A side effect is that such measures look nice.“When you live in the suburbs, you have nice pretty flowers and
lawns,” said Wiggins. “Just looking at concrete is not so pretty.” And prettiness does more than bring pleasure to the eye of the beholder, she added.

Police make arrest in shooting, robberies
Woman reports attack near Patterson Park
Police have arrested a man in connection with a string of Southeast robberies and a shooting.
The robberies occurred during the early morning hours of Friday, Aug. 22; the shooting happened earlier, on Monday, Aug. 18, according to police.
The robberies occurred at the 2500 block of Foster Ave., the 4000 block of Eastern Ave., and the 200 block of S. East Ave., according to Det. Jeremy Silbert of the police media relations office.
The shooting, per police reports, happened on the unit block of S. Albemarle St.
Arrested was Najee Gray-Johnson, 20. According to a statement issued by police on the shooting, a 43-year-old man was shot in the right arm during a robbery. He was treated and released from an area hospital.
Gray-Johnson faces a charge of attempted first-degree murder, as well as various assault and robbery charges.
To the Editor:I share Ms. Heid’s opinion (Editor’s note: See “Regarding your cover photo,” Aug. 27) that many #slacktivism trends don’t have any lasting impact, but would argue that the Ice Bucket Challenge is different, and suggest it is for that reason it has continued to persist. It’s not abstrac--it is a call to donate to a specific charity which has a great record of providing grants to ALS researchers who are working persistently to try and find causes and treatments for the horrible disease.Who is doing this “research,” you ask? People like my wife for one. She is part of the Packard Center at Johns Hopkins University here in Baltimore, and has devoted her career to the study of ALS and other neuro-muscular disorders. Funding for basic research is at an historic low in the US and will only get worse with the gridlock in Congress. The fact that the ALS Association has been able to raise nearly $95 million dollars (500 percent of its total fundraising in fiscal year 2013) means it will be able to fund grants that pay salaries and supplies for researchers here in Baltimore and around the country. This money goes directly to support a cure--and that’s a great thing.I applaud Ms. Heid’s reluctance to donate to charities she “knows nothing about.” I also encourage everyone to do the research, using any of the many resources available on the Internet. The ALS Association has a 97-percent Accountability and Transparency rating. Simply head to their website and you will see where the “dough” is going. If you want your “hard-earned money to fund a legitimate cause,” you have found one with this initiative.There are a lot of terrible things going on in the world, but the Ice Bucket Challenge is a positive one that we can all be part of. I did the Ice Bucket Challenge and pass the challenge on to Ms. Heid!Daryl Phillips, HighlandtownEditor’s note: Ms. Heid accepted Mr. Phillips’ challenge, and made a contribution directly to the Robert Packard Center, though she declined to film herself dumping ice water over her head.
Ice Bucket Challenge has lasting impact

A police report filed on Aug. 27 describes an attack that occurred on Monday, Aug. 25, at approximately 8:34 p.m.
According to the police report, the woman was running around Patterson Park and was approaching the intersection of Eastern and Belnord avenues when she was approached by a young male, between 12 and 15, “holding an unknown object in his hand.”
According to the police report, the woman kept running, and put her arms over her head as she jogged past the male, “at which time she was struck by an unknown object in the left shoulder area.”
The report states that she then ran into Eastern Ave., and, as the male was still jogging toward her, she was aided by a motorist who picked her up and drove her home. The woman said that the male who attacked her then ran northbound through the park with two other male companions.
According to the report the woman said that she did not get a good look at the suspect or his companions, and would be unable to pick them out of a lineup.

Woman reports attack near Patterson Park
BY ERIK [email protected] crashes through Greektown coffee shop
right in the path of destruction, but on this morning she had gone to the back of the store to make coffee.
Hatzinicolas said that, though the shop is insured and will be rebuilt, it’s destruction was disturbing to his future father-in-law.
“He comes here every day,” said Hatzinicolas. “He’s here seven days. It’s not so much the monetary aspect, but this is his routine.”
Police spokesman Sgt. Jarron Jackson said that the driver in the single-car accident was injured. “We’re still trying to determine what caused the accident,” Jarron said.
Not included among the everyday concerns of coffee shop owners is the worry that a car could come crashing through storefront, setting off a tsunami of destruction.
Nick and Aspasia Rigopoulos, owners of the Olympia Coffee House, 4708 Eastern Ave., dealt such a scenario last Thursday morning. Around 8:10 a.m., a Lincoln Town Car backed into the traditional Greek coffee shop that they have owned for over 35 years.
Olga Rigopoulos translated her mother’s description of what happened:
“She was in the corner making coffee. She heard a loud bang, and she heard a tsunami coming toward her, with furniture and everything,” Rigopoulos said.
Nick Hatzinicolas, Olga Rigopoulos’ fiance, noted that an older gentleman, the shop’s usual first morning customer, was sitting in his customary seat near the front, but was somehow missed by the wave of destruction.
“All this,” said Hatzinicolas, gesturing at the shards of glass, splintered wood, flipped tables and unidentifiable debris, “was right around him. He was okay.”
He noted that his future mother-in-law usually sat down with the morning customer,

“I believe there is still a theater in the unoccupied Boys & Girls Club on Clinton [St.], and around the corner there is plenty of space in the old SEYA building, or across the street at Haussner’s,” she said. “Any of those could be developed into multi-use spaces to include dining, retail, theater, dance studios, and more. My hope is that [Cohesion] will find enough support in the Highlandtown Arts district to inspire them to put down roots here.”
Norris said Cohesion is at least a couple of weeks away from making a decision.
“There’s not much we’re not interested in investigating at this point, and Highlandtown has so many hidden gems,” he said.
After Cohesion finds a performance space, Norris said he and Stanley will be busy directing two of the three shows planned for the company’s inaugural season, which begins this fall.
The inaugural season launch party will be held Sept. 26, 8 p.m., at Gallery 788, 3602 Hickory Ave. in Hampden.
Cohesion has also launched an Indiegogo campaign to pay its artists and performers.
“We decided early on that artists need to get paid, at least a stipend that values their energy. That’s important to us.”
For more information on Cohesion Theatre, find them on Facebook. Visit their Indiegogo campaign at indiegogo.com/projects/cohesion-theatre-company-s-inaugural-season-launch.
Highlandtown resident Brad Norris is looking throughout Baltimore City, but said he’d like nothing better than to open his new theater company right in his own backyard.
Norris and Alicia Stanley, an actor and director, are co-founders of Cohesion Theatre, a new Baltimore-based company with a focus on immersive theatrical experiences and working with artists of all disciplines.
The two, who both have theater backgrounds and recently coproduced “Edward II” at Spotlighters Theater on St. Paul St. in Mt. Vernon, decided to form their collaborative theater company this summer.
“We had such good energy with “Edward II,” we started brainstorming and thought...‘What could we bring to Baltimore theater that’s not already here? What could we do with other artists and not just on our own?”
Norris--an events manager at Center Stage by day--is an actor, director and lighting designer. He said that, at first, he and Stanley were considering a pop-up, temporary location for Cohesion.
“The transient thing is a trend [among arts organizations] in the city,” he said, explaining that for practical reasons, not owning a building, and finding space season by season, are sometimes easier for theater companies, especially smaller ones.
But then, Norris and Stanley contacted the Highlandtown Arts and Entertainment District (Ha!) and had a meeting with the Southeast Community Development Corporation, and began to at least consider putting down roots.
“The arts district is great in Highlandtown, but there’s not a lot of performance going on outside of the Creative Alliance,” Norris said. “The Southeast CDC liked us because of our collaborative nature. It isn’t just one company who would be coming to the neighborhood, but several companies that we’d be working with,” Norris said.
Norris said he and Stanley were drawn to Highlandtown for more than its convenience.
“Highlandtown has a real sense of neighborhood. It’s humble, and I’ve had positive experiences with the Southeast CDC before,” Norris said. “They and Ha! were excited about working with Cohesion from the very first email.”
Sandra Abbott, who sits on the steering committee for Ha!, said a dedicated performing arts space is a logical next step for Highlandtown.

When you drive by the gritty corner of Fayette and Rose streets, you’ll now see a blooming rose, year-round.
The yellow rose against a rust-colored background flanks the SOS Lounge storefront, while smaller buds, butterflies, thorns, and vines now adorn the Rose St. wall.
“Rose St. residents wanted to get a little bit of nature back into the neighborhood,” said Shawn James, of Mural Masters, who painted the mural with Kerry Cesen.
(You might recognize Cesen’s work: he painted the “Ship in the Bottle” mural on Broadway in Fells Point.)
“That’s what the residents wanted. They also wanted the mural’s theme to connect with the name of their street,” James said.
On the surface, the installation seems pretty straightforward, but observers who look closely will find a surprise. See if you can spot the silhouette of a woman holding a butterfly.
The Rose St. mural was paid for by a grant from the Baltimore Community Foundation, said Anthony Newman, a community organizer with Banner Neighborhoods, which

oversaw the project.“We’ll have a celebration of
the mural’s completion some time this fall,” he said.
Another change along the Fayette St.-Pulaski Hwy. corridor is the Library Square facade improvement project.
Muralist Bridget Cimino, who painted the garden-themed mural on Fayette St., brightened the storefront of the Patterson co-op laundry at Streeper and Fayette, with bubbles and a smiling washing machine, and Quentin Gibea provided new “Patterson Laundry” lettering, said Newman.
That facade improvement, also funded by the Baltimore Community Foundation, is one of several to come to the Library Square retail district.
“You can expect to see a more uniform look on Library Square storefronts in the near future,” said Newman.

Battle of Baltimore Bicentennial kicks off with Defenders Daymany, as having dispatched Ross. Chriest acknowledged that Ross may well have been killed under other circumstances—friendly fire, perhaps—but that his reenactment crew, Aisquith’s Sharpshooters, named for a company of riflemen that fought at North Point, would follow the Wells-McComas storyline.
“We’re the Sharpshooters, so our guys got Ross—that’s it,” laughed Chriest.
There will be four reenactments of the Battle of North Point, on Saturday at 1:15 p.m. and again at 4 p.m.; and on Sunday at 1:15 p.m. and 4:15 p.m., the final reenactment being the largest.
Harry Young, a volunteer with the Historical Society who has chaired or co-chaired the organizing committee for Defenders Day for the last nine years, said that there will be about 120 re-enactors and camp-followers at the event.
“It’ll definitely be the largest contingent we’ve ever had,” he said.
Reenactment regiments are coming from Ontario, Boston, New Jersey, Virginia and Philadelphia, as well as Maryland.
For a War of 1812-themed event a bit off the beaten track, with a relaxed vibe, relatively low crowds and a homegrown appeal, head to Dundalk’s Fort , 9500 North Point R., this weekend for the Dundalk-Patapsco Neck Historical Society’s annual Defenders Day celebration.
The free event centers on a reenactment of the Battle of North Point, in which American militia forces retreated in the face of a major British land invasion, but not without delaying and demoralizing the invaders, and even killing their commander, Maj. Gen. Robert Ross.
“We’ve got a tremendous amount of powder, and we’re going to have a bang-up of an event,” said Buzz Chriest, who has been enthusiastically involved with Dundalk battle reenactments from the start. “Ross will be killed, Wells and McComas will be killed, and the field will be littered with—whatever.”
Wells and McComas were American teenagers credited by many, and disputed by | Photo by Erik Zygmont
There will also be plenty of other exhibits and activities at Fort Howard, in addition to the battle reenactments.
“There’ll be a tremendous amount of stuff to see and do, and it’s all free,” said Chriest.
Renowned historical music expert David Hildebrand will give several concert/lectures on 1812-era music. The Sky’s the Limit Players will perform “Women’s Voices—The Battle of North Point.” There will be fife-and-drum performances, arts and crafts, childrens activities and opportunities to interact with the re-enactors in their military camps.
“It’s a non-alcoholic, family-friendly event,” said Young. “Feel free to pack your lunch, or if you don’t, there’ll be plenty of food from vendors.”
The Battle of North Point actually happened on Sept. 12, but the Defenders Day committee moved the celebration up a week to avoid conflict with all the events happening at Fort McHenry and Baltimore City the following weekend.

Blair won eight Gold Gloves--seven consecutive--for his fielding prowess, and appeared in four World Series with the Orioles, two of which Baltimore won.
“From 1966 to 1971, the O’s were about the best team in baseball, and he was the Gold-Glover center fielder at the center of it all,” says sportswriter Charlie Vascellaro, another fan who has gotten this tribute going.
Vascellaro and Alvarez note that the date of the fan tribute is close the 50th anniversary of Blair’s Major League debut, which was in September of 1964. On next weekend’s Sept. 12 double-header, the O’s take on the Yankees--also fitting, because Blair ended his baseball career in New York.
One of the most well-known sound-bytes about Blair is that he never “made a good catch”--no spectacular diving grabs and no high leaps.
Wherever the ball fell, he was simply there to catch it.
“I’ve always thought he was one of the cool, sort of stylish players of the 70s,” says Vascellaro, adding that Orioles fans of a certain age “get very nostalgic about Paul Blair. He’s one of that crop of players...You mention him in the same sentence as guys like Brooks Robinson, Frank Robinson, ‘Boog’ Powell and Jim Palmer.”
Speaking of Palmer, former Sun columnist Michael Olesker remembers a 2010 interview with Blair.
“Jim Palmer used to have a habit of running around and telling his outfielders where to play,” explains Olesker.
Olesker asked Blair, who always played shallow, if he was subject to the Hall-of-Famer’s orders.
“He looked at me and said, ‘Jim Palmer knew better than to tell me where to play,’” remembers Olesker with a laugh.
But Blair, who died on Dec. 26 last year, wasn’t laughing; his passion for the game frequently boiled to the surface, no matter how many decades had passed since his retirement following the 1979 season.
Vascellaro remembers asking Blair about the 1969 Mets, who defeated the Orioles in one of the biggest World Series upsets in history.
“Just the mere mention of it...It transported him back to that time, and he was pissed off,” recounts Vascellaro.
Neither Vascellaro nor Alvarez is sure why the Orioles haven’t organized an official tribute to Blair.
“I felt like Blair got lost in the shuffle of all of the deaths in the off-season,” speculated Vascellaro.
Alvarez has organized an additional component of the tribute: Starting this weekend (if all goes to plan) fans may purchase T-shirts emblazoned with Paul Blair’s name on the front, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on the back, printed by Serigraphics, a printing company on Bank St. in Highlandtown.
“I have been a lifelong Orioles fan,” says Eric Fondersmith, owner of Serigraphics. “I think the new Orioles fans don’t necessarily remember the heritage and where we came from...There was a time when we were spectacularly good.”
The shirts will be sold at G & A Restaurant, 3802 Eastern Ave, and proceeds will benefit St. Jude’s.

PAUL BLAIR: T-shirt sales for St. Jude’s HospitalCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Battle of Baltimore Bicentennial kicks off with Defenders Day Andy Farantos, third-generation owner of G & A, holds both Paul Blair and St. Jude’s in high regard.
“I never realized that Paul Blair went unrecognized because I’m such an Orioles fan,” says Farantos. “Say his name, and I can tell a million stories about him. He was one of my heroes growing up; all the O’s were, but he was exceptional, an exceptional center fielder.”
Farantos adds that his “big interest” in the endeavor is raising money for St. Jude’s, as the research hospital has put substantial energy into sickle cell beta thalassemia, a disease with which his son lives.
“I don’t think there could be a better cause then for the proceeds to go to St. Jude’s,”says Farantos. “Any research to help kids is worth it.”
Vascellaro says that he hopes this tribute to a great of Orioles past will help the team have a winning post season. He believes that it could have positive effect, similar to 2012 unveiling of the statues of legendary Orioles in Camden Yards.
“I think it was not a coincidence that we started winning when the statues were put out there,” says Vascellaro. “They served as reminder of the greatness that was available. I think baseball has a spiritual quality...Calling on the history, tapping into that, is sometimes good.”

No more park concerts, but time for moviesThe Patterson Park Summer Concert Series
is over, but a couple movies—at the beginning and end of September—will ring in autumn in the Patterson Park annex field (east of Linwood Ave.).
On Friday, Sept. 5, families can watch a showing of “The Sandlot,” a nostalgic movie centering on a group of kids who play baseball and a large, scary dog.
“I feel like it’s little cult classic among certain ages,” says Katie Long, program director and Hispanic liaison for the Friends of Patterson Park.
The second movie, to be shown on Friday, Sept. 26, is “The Princess Bride.”
“If we’ve shown it in the park, it’s been several years,” says Long.
Both films start at about 7:30 p.m. Long says that the Friends are still seeking sponsors for the movies, and anyone interested may contact them at 410-276-3676.
by ERIK [email protected] On Sunday, Aug. 17, the Summer Concert
Series concluded with a performance by Joe Falero and the DC Jazz Latin All Stars.
Long says that attendance at the seven concerts on Pagoda Hill from June through mid-August was “record-breaking.” “We’ve seen the concerts grow every year,” she says. “The Tuesdays and Sundays are really great...We know crowds are increasing because of where the expanse is on the hill.”
Certain concerts brought out as many as 3,000 people, she adds. And the evenings morphed into full-fledged events in which children played and picnics were shared.
“I think people were bringing their out-of-town friends and relatives,” Long says.
“It’s just a really nice atmosphere that the community has created. It’s very family-friendly and kids came and danced.”
It was a respectful crowd, too.“We go out there the day after to pick up
trash, and there’s hardly any,” says Long.

The Ukrainian Festival, Saturday, Sept. 6, noon-8 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 7, noon-6 p.m., will be held in the Pulaski Monument area of Patterson Park, near the intersection of Eastern and Linwood avenues. Admission is free.
Highlights of the festival include performances by the famous Lyman Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, which practices locally, as well as all the pierogi you can eat, a Ukrainian beer garden, and classic car show.
A full schedule for the festival can be found at ukrainianfestival.net.
Amid the food, dancing and revelry, this year’s Ukrainian Festival will take on a more somber note.
Andrij Chornodolsky, a local Ukrainian activist long involved in Baltimore’s Ukrainian community, says that this year’s festival will include a booth honoring the 100 protestors killed during the turmoil leading up to former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovytch’s stepping down from office.
Photographs of the protestors will be on display, and donations will be collected for aid for Ukraine, “medical, humanitarian and military,” says Chornodolsky.
“This is about the Revolution for Dignity and the continued independence of Ukraine,” he adds.
Money for clothing and new clothing items will also be collected at the festival for displaced Ukrainians.
Chornodolsky says that the Baltimore Ukrainian community is joining with the Washington, D.C., Ukrainian community to send a shipping container to Ukraine.
Donations will be coordinated with the Red Cross in Ukraine, he adds, and are tax deductible.

Highlandtown shop has smoking alternative, shows artinhaling smoke, vaping is the act of inhaling a vapor, which is produced from a “juice” consisting of four ingredients: vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, flavoring and nicotine, heated by battery power.
Curry says that he had smoked cigarettes for decades, and traditional quitting aids such as nicotine gum, the patch, etc., did nothing for him.
With vaping, he said, “I don’t stink, I can taste food now, and I can breathe when I walk upstairs.”
“The health benefits to me outweigh everything.”
Curry also touts the financial benefits. Noting that name-brand cigarettes cost about $7 per pack in Maryland, and most smokers consume somewhere around a pack a day, he pulls out a calculator and arrives at $210 per month and $2,520 per year.
With vaping, Curry says, the “device” costs about $40, and then 5 milliliters of juice, at $7.50, lasts two weeks, for a total of
“Excuse me, may I vape?” asks Andre Holmes, affecting an overtly officious, polite tone of voice.
Rick Curry shakes his head with a smile, and slaps Holmes on the back.
Holmes draws on what looks like a hand-held smoking device and exhales, but no smoke is released into the air.
“Thank you for allowing me to vape!” says Holmes in the same tone, before he laughs and turns back to the gallery event, happening in an unlikely yet fitting spot.
Two Tone Artistry and Vapors, owned and operated by Curry and partner Karen Siekierski, opened May 31. As the name suggests, the shop has two aspects: art and vaping.
Everyone knows what art is; fewer are familiar with vaping, though its popularity is growing rapidly.
Essentially, someone who is trying to quit smoking may turn to vaping as a means to get there. Just as smoking is the act of Rick Curry shows off the different fl avors of “juice” available at Two Tone Artistry

“The prettier you can make your block, it makes the street more of a neighborhood that people have to invest in,” she said. “You feel different about leaving your trash in a place where there are flowers rather than just concrete.”
Plantings also function as environmental water filtration systems, collecting rainwater and filtering it before releasing it into the water table. In this case, thanks to counsel from Susie Creamer of the Patterson Park Audubon Center, the plantings will contain native plants, which attract native bugs, which are food for birds, which will be able to expand their habitat outward from Patterson Park proper.
Both Creamer and Ashley Traut, senior manager of innovative stormwater projects at Blue Water Baltimore, were consulted by PPNA for their knowledge of urban environmentalism as well as their experience with higher-level funders.
“They met with us to give us guidance—What are the kinds of things getting money right now?” Wiggins said.
Attaining the grant had been a long time in the making for the neighborhood, which has always made greening a priority. Wiggins said that Victoria Fitch had first thought of going for the Chesapeake Bay Trust grant, which is part of the trust’s Green Streets-Green Towns-Green Jobs Initiative.
In January, members of PPNA, including Wiggins and Terresa Carter Wotring, chair of the greening committee, met to discuss a strategy in attaining the grant, for which specific planned projects were a requirement.
PPNA GRANT: Group surprised to get total amountCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

“Some people there said, ‘Maybe we should just try to get little things,” Wiggins remembered.
Members of the association outlined “a bunch of things,” in hopes they would receive funding for some.
“Pretty much, if you participated in that meeting and had an area you wanted addressed, it was written into the grant,” Wiggins said.
Some of those projects include building and installing 10 planters—filled with native plants and flowers—for an alley off Ellwood Ave., as well as eight, 4-foot cubical planters for the intersection of Milton Ave. and Fayette St., to hold dogwood and serviceberry trees. Planters will also be placed on the 200 block of N. Belnord Ave.
Some of the planters will be built through Living Classrooms’ Project SERVE, in which adults—many of whom are re-entering society following incarceration—learn marketable job skills in projects chosen to revitalize neighborhoods.
The Digital Harbor Foundation is also jumping on board the PPNA greening effort, through the development of an iPhone and Android app that will pinpoint all of the greening projects in the neighborhood.
The grant is meant to cover two-years’ worth of projects, Wiggins explained, adding that PPNA is hoping to get in a couple “quick hits” before the end of the year.
“Nobody was more stunned that we were when we got all of [the money],” she said.
More information about Chesapeake Bay Trust grants can be found at cbtrust.org.

Obituary
Beatrice Ann Henegar, age 68, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, August 27, 2014. She was born on February 17, 1946 to Howard and Beatrice Canary. She enjoyed life’s simple pleasures and loved spending time with her friends fi shing and chatting. Beatrice is survived by her three devoted children, Brian (Diane), Kimberly, and Denise; seven grandchildren Samantha, Brian, Chad, Donny, Brianna, Cristian and Matthew; loving brother Donald; best friend and “sister” Dorothy Gollahon Jennings; “daughter” Julie; many nieces and nephews and as “Beatty Ann” herself would say “the best friends anyone could ever ask for”. Beatty Ann passed with peace and love in her heart. The “castoff” for Beatty will be Sunday, September 14, 2014 at the “shore”. Those who loved and knew her know the location and can contact Denise or Doris for details.

less than $300 for the year, when coils—a disposable component of the vaping device—are factored in.
Part of the allure of vaping is the wide variety of flavors available, Curry adds.
“I suggest to people stopping smoking that they not start with a fruity flavor,” he says. A long list of juice flavors available at Two Tone includes black raspberry frost, Arnold Palmer, banana cream pie, various coffee-themed flavors, and “Schnozzberry,” a nod to “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”
Curry says that he was working his “day job” when he “rode by and this store was vacant.”
“We redid things, and this is how it came out.”
Siekierski conceived the idea of adding art to the business.
“I was thinking about how we could fit into the area,” she says, noting that she was well aware that Highlandtown is home to ha!, a major arts district where artists abound. “Why not use the space to give them exposure?” she says. “We wanted to
bring something to Highlandtown that was valuable to many people.”
Finding artists to fill the space with their work was easy. Siekierski contacted the Maryland Institute College of Art and started advertising Two Tone on a website devoted to art spaces. She also contacted Baltimore County Community College and got in contact with the art director there.
Highlandtown is not unfamiliar to Siekierski; her grandmother owned a bar due south of the neighborhood, at Robinson and Dillon.
“I grew up walking The Avenue with my mother, my grandmother, and my great aunt,” she says.
