Baltimore Station NorthMay 22, 2015

Hear from some of Baltimore’s talented new young journalistic voices. This spring I have had the honor to work with students at UMBC, the University of Maryland Baltimore County, on a project called Baltimore Traces: Communities in Transition, an interdisciplinary project that brought students into Baltimore City to study neighborhoods, where they conducted interviews with local residents and workers.

We’re excited to bring you the UMBC student-produced radio stories that came out of these courses. We hear about Station North, a neighborhood that has been undergoing a great deal of transition. –Marc

The last days of The Hour Haus … a spin off project

At midnight on Thursday, July 30th, 2015, the final amps and drum kits were reluctantly lugged out of Station North’s longtime music rehearsal space, The Hour Haus.  After 25 years as a music practice facility and performance venue, the building is being converted to office space.  Audio producer Adam Droneburg and photographer Dan Goodrich spent the past few months chronicling the end of the Hour Haus era, collecting interviews and portraits of the building’s final musical residents.  Today, with a stroke of the clock and the change of a lock, their documentary work has become instant history.
