Startup Weekend Leaves Wake of Entrepreneurship in Baltimore

What does it take to start a company? Years of long days and late nights filled with fits and starts? Sometimes, sure. But maybe all one really needs is to get in a room for three days of intense collaborative effort with a strong group of like-minded individuals. Such was the scene at Startup Weekend, the latest example of Baltimore's strong (and growing) entrepreneurial spirit.

Neighborhood Life: The Ups, Downs, and Day-to-Days on East Monument Street

"Main Street." What does that mean, really? It's as much an idea as a place, as much a goal for which to strive as a set of storefronts. Baltimore has a dozen or more Main Streets, each with its own unique character and its own set of challenges. We visited one of the lesser-known examples -- East Monument Street -- to learn more about its history and what's happening there today.

Photo Essay: Druid Hill Park

Be honest: when was the last time you explored Druid Hill Park? Or have you ever? If not, you're missing out on one of Baltimore's true civic gems. Join us as we take a fresh look at the park and what it has to offer (then make plans to get there yourself).

Post-Ace of Cakes, Charm City Cakes is Up to Plenty

For ten seasons, Duff Goldman and the crew at Charm City Cakes showcased a dizzying array of talent and creativity on the Food Network's "Ace of Cakes." Now that the show is over, what happens next? Between opening a second location in LA and launching a new line of affordable ready-mades (among other ventures), Goldman is as busy as he's ever been.

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

There's dinner at home among friends, and there's going out to eat. This much we know. But there's also a third, less easy-to-define option that's growing in popularity both in Baltimore and in cities across America. Join Bmore's Julekha Dash as she travels behind the scenes of the growing "supper club" scene, where diners and chefs alike are discovering that nothing brings people together like food.

Embracing the "F" Word at Failure Support Group

Failure is a part of life. It's unavoidable, and -- when it comes to our creative endeavors -- it's often even necessary. Yet the word itself is a taboo. People are afraid to share their failures with the world. But not the Failure Support Group. They'll be at Baltimore's 8th Annual Transmodern Festival this month, and they want to expose failure. The more gruesome, the better. Because only once we talk about our failures can we learn from them and help others learn from them, too.

Marketing Charm City's Neighborhoods

As a city of neighborhoods, Baltimore's independent food markets add an atmosphere and appeal that trumps standard, big-name grocery stores. Baltimore's small grocers abide by the philosophy that quality products and the highest level of customer service will make and keep them neighborhood mainstays.

Letter From the Editor: April, 2011

April's Letter From the Editor offers thoughts on a basic question. A question for which finding a correct answer is less important than considering -- and continuing to consider -- how we answer it.

Prior to that, she spent seven years working in New York covering the Yankees for the YES Network. If you think a situation like that might lead to friction, you could be on to something. Read on to learn more about Ms. Royle and her first year in Charm City.

Video: Life of an Entrepreneur With Honest Tea and Figure 53

It's that whole thing about a journey of a thousand miles -- everything begins with one step. For companies, the first step often involves late nights, coffee shop offices, and a wing and a prayer. In this video feature, Bmore takes a look at two companies at different stages in the process: Figure 53 and Honest Tea.

Audio: Sustainable Agriculture at Kayam Farm

Developing a Different Kind of Renaissance in Park Heights

When discussion turns to neighborhood success stories in Baltimore the usual suspects tend to get most of the glory. We hear quite a bit about Canton, Federal Hill, and, more recently, Harbor East. Which is fair enough -- those are indeed successes. But they're not the only ones. A less heralded but no less significant story is playing out as we speak in Park Heights, a neighborhood that has seen its share of struggle but which appears poised to finally emerge from the shadows.

Photo Essay: The Monumental City

Join us as we explore, in images and words, a notion of Baltimore as it was once known...and could be again.

MICA Students and Faculty Team Up to Explore Baltimore: Open City

"Open" is one of those intriguing little words whose meaning is highly dependent on where it's being used, and why. What, for example, would it mean to talk about an "open city"? A new project beginning in April at MICA aims to explore, understand, and maybe even answer that very question.
