The volunteers at the Canton Dog Park would love your help. In case you didn’t know, the park, the first off-leash dog park in the city, is volunteer-run. Currently, they’re running a little low on waste bags. If you have extra bags and would like to donate, there is a dispenser on-site at the park where you can stuff your extras.

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.

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.
