Babies & Boys

I stopped by the new Urban Baby Runway today on Falls Road. It's a super cute shop and you can read about it in the November issue of Baltimore magazine. What I really love about her shop—is the brands she chooses to sell. I guarantee most you haven't seen before. And, because she has a son, the boy selection is pretty amazing. It's a small store—but has just the right amount of toys, clothes, and accessories. And it's right next to Soft and Cozy Baby which specializes in cloth diapers and babywearing. Two baby stores in Hampden! It seems like the Avenue is really filling all the gaps in with what's been missing. And speaking of, Sixteen Tons which promises "timeless goods for the modern gent", hopes to be open by Halloween in the old Squidfire spot. (More on that later.) Owner Daniel Wylie is the husband of Lesley, owner of the super popular doubledutch boutique. Men have been coming by her shop for ages asking about men's clothes and they finally decided to do something. Check out a small pop-up Sixteen Tons shop in doubledutch currently. —JED
