Baltimore Police Commissioner Batts Walks Waverly

Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts participated in a citizen on patrol walk in Waverly.

Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts received a walking tour of Waverly from the people who know it best—the residents. Batts joined a citizen on patrol walk on Wednesday evening, along with Maj. Sabrina Tapp-Harper, the commander of the Northern District, and said community walks give him the ability to see firsthand the areas of the city addressed in Comstat meetings. "What's really good about these walks, it gives me time to listen to the public,  and allow them to tell me: 'This is the issue. This is what I'd like you to do. This is what I'd like you to take care of.' So that's why I come out," Batts said.  Sign up for our newsletter, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

Waverly Main Street Plans To Stay ‘Real’

The commercial district’s new master plan hopes to change the district’s perception.

Tripp Muldrow doesn’t think Waverly Main Street should try to be something that it’s not. While so many neighborhoods and cities are striving to be "precious" and "cute," that’s not the direction Muldrow, a planner from Arnett Muldrow & Associates, believes the district needs to go. "Well Greenmount Avenue really is not 'precious' and 'cute' and 'adorable.' It’s real. And that’s part of what we want to do. There’s something about being 'real.' Don’t fool me. Give me something real,” Muldrow said. On Thursday night a team from Mahan Rykiel Associates presented a master plan it has developed with the community intended to help the business district improve its brand and perception. The master plan, which is scheduled to be made available to …

Waverly Main Street Looks To Improve Area's 'Brand'

The group wants public input as it develops its new master plan for the commercial district.

Waverly Main Street wants to change the perception of the commercial district. Although its home to popular businesses—such as Darker Than Blue Café, Pete’s Grille and nearby 32nd Street Farmer’s Market—some high profile violent crimes have hurt the area’s reputation, said Jermaine Johnson, Waverly Main Street director. "For us it’s something we think about all the time is 'How do we dismantle [the negative] perception?'" Johnson said. Starting next week the organization will continue taking steps to do just that by meeting with the community to develop a master plan for the district.  There will be two public sessions held at Grace Restoration Life Church, 428 Merryman Lane, at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday.  The first session …

This can be really awesome, folks. Any project will have its share of challenges. If we, as the article alludes, recreate the Hampden's "Avenue" business district or the Federal Hill Cross Street district (both with appropriate modifications, of course), then this Waverly Main Street could be very healthy for us indeed. I would be interested in helping to act as a liaison between the our …   more ›
