Baltimore Heritage nominated for The Mobbies

The Baltimore Heritage blog has been nominated for The Mobbies 2010 competition–a ten-day competition where you can vote for “Maryland’s Outstanding Blogs.” We are up for the best Neighborhood Blog, along with a number of great neighborhood news and Main Street sites. If you aren’t a regular Baltimore Heritage reader, a sampling of our posts include our May update on the history of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, our recent feature on the Baltimore Heritage award-winning Northern District Police Station, and our continuing efforts to keep you informed about important preservation issues, such as the controversial Mount Vernon Place Restoration Master Plan.

Voting opened today, November 2 and continues through through November 12, concluding with an awards bash at RA Sushi Restaurant Bar on November 16. You can vote once for every 24-hour period, so please vote early and vote often.

Summer news from Baltimore Heritage

Baltimore Heritage members should discover a bit of preservation news in their mailbox this week as we just sent out a late summer edition of our Baltimore Heritage newsletter. A few of our features may be familiar to readers of this blog, including our piece on John Pente and an update on the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, but the newsletter also includes previews for upcoming events, a list of this year’s Preservation Award winners, and an advocacy update on a threatened building in Ridgely’s Delight. With a fresh visual design and a new format, we welcome any questions or comments on the issue.

You too can receive a copy of the Summer 2010 Baltimore Heritage newsletter by becoming a member of Baltimore Heritage today! Individual memberships start at only $35 (less than $3 a month!) and include discounts on all of our Behind the Scenes tours and first chance at registration for our popular Baltimore by Foot spring walking tour series.
