This week one of the people I follow on Twitter posted a link to this blog that has recently been writing about Lauraville and Baltimore events. It is the accompanying blog of a website for Salamander Points, a Baltimore based website that has formulated a points system for a huge variety of things you eat [...]
Tomorrow (Friday, July 25th) there is a pretty decent sized festival in the area bordering Lauraville to the north, Hamilton. The Hamilton Festival is going to feature two stages with over 10 bands, live performing arts, local foods, arts and crafts, classic cars, and for the first time patrons of age can get a wristband [...]
I came across this blog called Harford Road, Hon about the neighborhood of Westfield in Baltimore, which is slightly northeast of Lauraville. It talks about a lot of things going on in the same general area and links to a lot of the businesses in Lauraville, including all of the places I did stories on [...]
After my Interview with Thomas from Zeke’s, he suggested that I talk to Jeff Smith, the owner and head chef of Lauraville’s Chameleon Cafe. There isn’t really a recent article about the cafe, but they have been reviewed several times so I read through a few of them to get an idea of what Smith [...]
Chowhound is pretty much a discussion about food and drink through message board conversations. I was brought to the website after searching for recent media coverage about Zeke’s Coffee. There was a short mention about Zeke’s attendance at the Greenbelt Farmer’s Market, which is a smaller market closer to D.C., but Zeke’s seemed to be [...]

The blog itself focuses on John and his girlfriend Bobbie and their experiences in Lauraville. After [...]
I am having a really hard time to find current articles about Lauraville. It is a very small area of Baltimore, so there is not a lot of people blogging or writing articles about it; which is actually one of the reasons that I chose to cover it. I found a post in the blog All [...]
I came across an article in the Baltimore Sun yesterday about a little bookstore in Lauraville with some supposedly amazing muffins. I have never been to the Red Canoe, I have driven past it many times, but never noticed that they offered food. Author Richard Gorelick’s comments definitely have sparked my interest though: “I did [...]
So I have almost completely abandoned my idea to do the stories about the hiking areas in Baltimore. While this is interesting to me, and I think could make for a great multimedia project, I just think it is going to be a stretch to be able to get all of the necessary elements together [...]
Possible Sites: • Great Falls (Md./VA line on Potomac River; ~1 hour) • Sugar Loaf Mountain (Dickerson, Md.; ~1 hour) • Gwynn Falls Trail/Leakin Park (Baltimore, Md.) The Peg: The Baltimore area has many recreational spots and trails that are a lot closer to the city than most people may realize. I want to try [...]
