Next steps/ Future plans


We as a class are working towards what we would like the event we are planning at the Lexington Market to be about.  Can we make a change in the developments? Or will it be a “remembrance” about the Lexington Market. Then for the zine’s that are being constructed, what information do we want to enclose and how it will be used for our event. We are also creating 2 zines’, the first one will be used hopefully for the interview process, then the final one will be handed out at our event. The next steps moving forward are narrowing down who we specifically want to have a more in-depth interview with and who we can actually get to interview…. Meaning developers, people the “new” market is being made for, etc. My contributions moving forward for our event is the interview process, constructing a list of the in-depth interviewees and other areas where we would specifically like to obtain interviews.  Then planning to actually going out in the field with my fellow and the audio crew and conducting the interviews.

The goals we have formed are to explain the importance of the Lexington Market, and what it is to Baltimore. Also, what "changes" are wanting to be made to the Market, and who are they really designing the Market for? Most of ...

Decades 2001- 2009

Being a Texas native, but moving to Maryland almost 20 years ago and believing I had experienced all that there was to experience, I was wrong.  I'm currently taking AMST 480: Community in American Research class and we are discussing the renovations to the Lexington Market. I had no idea there was a Lexington Market, let alone there was renovation plans that wanted to be done to improve the market. Reading articles from the Baltimore Sun on my given decade year that involved the Lexington Market, helped me grasp what was being proposed.            The information I gained from the different articles was what the new management team wanted from the " 4 million dollar face lift / makeover"; so the Market could appeal to a wider group of new clientele.  The constant theme behind each article was a persons sense of security when visiting the Lexington Market; many said they wouldn't venture the market alone. Which is a sham...
