Baltimore in the Golden Age of Radio

Baltimore, MD, United States

From Guglielmo Marconi’s experiments in sending audio signals via radio waves in the 1890s to the strains of Rock and Roll coursing through teenage ears in the 1960s, and everything in between, Baltimore historian Jack Burkert explores the Golden Age of Radio in the lives of Americans, with a special focus on Baltimore. In today’s world of internet and visual media, we forget how radio transformed America with national networks, new snazzy commercial jingles, and the story of how one company came to dominate the new radio market only to suddenly exit altogether. Of course, Mr. Burkert will take a look at Baltimore’s own radio stations, some of the broadcasts they transmitted, and a few of the charming personalities involved in the radio business along the way.

Faidley's Seafood (Entrance) 203 N. Paca Street, Baltimore, MD, United States

If you haven’t been to Lexington market in a while, or even if you’re a regular there, we hope you’ll join us on a tour of this iconic Baltimore place to learn about recent changes and plans for the future of the market. On the tour, we will talk with the owners of Faidley’s, Berger’s, Konstant’s Candy, and other vendors that have been in their stalls for 100 years or more. We will also go down and explore the catacombs under the marketplace, getting a first-hand look at these mysterious spaces that are normally closed to the public.

Today’s Solution to an Age-Old Problem: Inside the 1940 Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant

Patapsco Waste Water Treatment Plant 3501 Asiatic Ave., Baltimore, MD, United States

In the wake of the Great 1904 Fire, Baltimore had two pressing tasks: rebuild downtown and get on board with other European and American cities in developing a functioning sewage system. Luckily, Baltimoreans 100 years ago accomplished both. Join us as we tour the 1940 Patapsco Wastewater Treatment Plant that has its roots in the Great Fire and today uses state-of-the-art technology to handle a problem as old as the city itself.
