On Monday, the National Trust for Historic Preservation announced the five winners of it's annual Greatest American Main Street Awards, including our very own Federal Hill!
Suggesting "this historic neighborhood is rapidly becoming the 'Hip Side of the Harbor'," the Trust cited events like the Spring Block Party, the Jazz & Blues Festival, and the Street Beat Festival, the revitalized business district (with a vacancy rate that has dropped from a high of 20 percent to the current 4 percent), and the development of the city's premier retail and entertainment hub, "a feat recognized by Baltimore Magazine, which recently named Federal Hill 'Baltimore's Best Shopping Neighborhood'." (Thanks for the shout-out, Trust).
