After 4 recent murders on Greenmount and 2 elsewhere in Charles Village,
we need to take our neighborhood back. Here is a worthwhile attempt.

BEGINNING AT DARKER THAN BLUE, 3034 GREENMOUNT AVENUE
2:00 PM please join us as
Police Commissioner Frederick Bealefeld,
Fire Chief James Clack,
Council President Jack Young,
& our Northern District Police Commanders
lead neighbors and friends in a
SOLIDARITY WALK TO PROMOTE RESTORED SAFETY
to GREENMOUNT AVENUE
We'll walk north from Darker Than Blue to East 35th Street,
then south on the eastside of Greenmount to East 29th,
then back, completing the circuit.
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?: Last week the Greenmount Avenue commercial
corridor endured two murders within a 72 hour time period. Non-stop
media coverage has painted a blighted picture of our beloved
community. We know that this area is the best place to call home and I
hope you also know that Greenmount Avenue is on the rise. Now more
than ever the merchants, your neighbors, and Waverly Main Street need
your support to survive and continue to be a positive asset in our
community.
Over the past year Greenmount Avenue has made strides:
· Private investment totaling over $430,000 in improvements
· 7 new business opened on Greenmount
· $200,000 in façade and safety improvements
· Restoration of the Waverly sign at 32nd and Greenmount
· Coming expansion of the Waverly Library
· The opening of Waverly Ace Hardware
· Restoration of Waverly Firehouse # 31
The merchants and resident supporters are asking for residents to take
to the sidewalks in a show of unity and support of the all of the hard
work that has happened over the past few years to stabilize and
revitalize Greenmount Avenue. We need 300 people on the street! Come
see Greenmount for yourself, meet the merchants, and meet other
residents who buy local!
Police, Fire and all of Baltimore City support our efforts now to
restore the safety and security we require.
Please turn-out to signal the turn-around.
Thank you!
Your neighbor,
Bonnie Bessor
