The CCA Canton History Project, led by Dr. Raymond Bahr, strives to illustrate the rich history of Canton. An important aspect of this project is to place Historic Interpretive Marker Signs in strategic places around in the neighborhood. Two such markers were placed by the previous Canton Improvement Association (CIA) at the Canton Library and in O’Donnell Square.

One of the mantras of the CCA is “Get Neighborly”. An excellent example of this is the Beautify Baltimore Brunch Club. We talked with its founder Phil LaBarge to find out more about this very neighborly club.

The meeting started at 6:35PM at the United Evangelical Church.   Mark Edelson, President, introduced himself as President and said it is an honor to serve.  He welcomed everyone.  As per tradition, he asked that if anyone was here for the first time, to please introduce themselves.  There were five new people, among them a woman from South Africa.

In the spirit of bringing the community together, the Canton Square Hospitality Association (CSHA) is hosting two summer outdoor series, 3rd Fridays & Movie Night, at O’Donnell Square Park. Both events, held monthly through September, are designed for family fun!

Military family Laura and Joe Speakman, along with their 3-year-old son Jonah, are on the move again but are marking their time spent in Canton with a commemorative brick at O’Donnell Square Park. Joe is in the US Air Force, so they move often. We asked Laura why Canton has been so special to them and here’s what she shared.

This Summer Cantonites can look forward to two new outstanding restaurants on the waterfront. Both have excellent food. Both have outdoor dining. Both have a beautiful view. AND, both have similar names… which seems to confuse people. So, we took an afternoon to chat with the teams at Raw Bar and Raw & Refined to learn a little more about each establishment.
