Canton. If you enlarge this pic, you can even make out Mr. Boh way up on Brewer's Hill.

Hell yeah. . .What would the Baltimore Museum of Industry be without a nod to Old Bay and McComick spices? Old Bay actually has a very interesting history. I read and article about it a few months ago.
Maybe I can post a link?

Tourist in Baltimore #98
Allied Chemical. . .I'm a transplant but I understand that before Baltimore's Inner Harbor (and now to the east and west too)was gentrified and introduced to a different kind of commercialization (under William Donald Schaffer's watchful eye), was a nitty, gritty industrial place.
When I got here in 1998, the entire area where Allied Chemical was located had been razed. All that was left was a large gravel lot jutting into the water. I believe whatever operations went on there left a bit of an environmental mess behind. This area - at least in part - has been transformed into "Harbor East." An upscale mixed use primo tourist destination.
Nearly 30 years and worlds apart. . .

There was a lovely display at the Museum of Industry portraying the garment making industry and other textile industry and arts. I like this picture a lot for unknown reasons.

The Muesum of Industry certainly collected a LOT of cans for their exhibits.

So here's what really went on in those industrial buildings that are now well appointed yuppie apartments on the Canton Waterfront.
