Do you love history? Then Federal Hill Baltimore is the place for you to live. Everywhere you look in this city you will find an opportunity to enjoy the history of the community, and the nation. The Cross Street Market is just one place where you can get a "taste" of this history.
The Cross Street Market doesn't look like much from the outside, but it has been offering shopping opportunities to residents of Federal Hill Baltimore since 1846, when the city's growth created the demand for a market building.
The original market was a large public hall and community gathering place. On market days, farmers would set up stalls and tents on nearby Cross Street, and soon so much traffic was coming to the farmer's market that the police had to set up towers to direct traffic.
In the 1950s, the structure and Cross Street experienced a large, devastating fire. The current Cross Street...

The story of Milton S. Hershey and the town of Hershey, PA is one of struggle and triumph. And, as anyone who lives in Hershey can attest, the story goes much deeper than the world-famous chocolate. Once Milton Hershey found success in his chocolate factory, he began a lifelong quest to not only build a town around his factories, but a community of people that lived well and cared for one another. Nowhere is his spirit of giving and caring more evident than in the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

The only constant in life is change; nowhere is this more evident than in Lancaster, PA. The city began as a quiet farming town, spent one day as the capital of the colonies, and spent many years supplying the pioneers of the Frontier with Conestoga wagons and Pennsylvania long rifles. Today, Lancaster is a vibrant community that keeps the city's history alive while steadily marching towards the future.
Founded in 1729, Lancaster was officially incorporated as a city in 1818. By the early 1900s, Lancaster, PA had become the heart of Lancaster County. Penn Square, housing important locations such as City Hall and shopping destinations like Woolworth's Great Five Cent Store, was the center of...
The Nickel Taphouse in Baltimore's Mount Washington neighborhood was among the latest added to our city's food scene by local restaurateur, Robin Haas. Haas, owner of Hampden's Birroteca, wanted to deliver a more informal dining experience with the opening of Nickel Taphouse. Located at 1604 Kelly Avenue in Baltimore, The Nickel Taphouse is a 4,000 square foot restaurant/tavern fashioned after the places Haas remembered from his youth in Buffalo: a restaurant meets local tavern hybrid. He wanted Baltimore locals to have an establishment that invited them to stop by and hang out on their way home from...
