Eliminating the rental properties that foster the drug problem in the area and improving the quality of the businesses that occupy the commercial properties of the area will immediately improve the value of the neighborhood.Mike Rollinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03710255375886947176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519465687535991407.post-9052076076889898862008-12-30T10:58:00.000-05:002008-12-30T10:58:00.000-05:00Yeah Park Heights definitely changed since then. ...Yeah Park Heights definitely changed since then.

I love how in depth Ed Orser is with his interviews and assesments. My father lived in Park Heights as a child 4900 block of Queensberry Avenue near the race track. My Grandparents moved out in 1966 to Randallstown. Their block was being "busted" but my Grandparents rented their house out and sold it to his renters at a profit several years down the road. He was one of the few people not to lose money on his house at that point because he would have if he sold it.Spence Leanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961564411302768615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519465687535991407.post-30799305249553104822008-12-18T22:39:00.000-05:002008-12-18T22:39:00.000-05:00Ahh good point!

Hey maybe you've already seen it, but if not, a professor at UMBC wrote a book some years ago - "Blockbusting in Baltimore, the Edmondson Village Story" - which analyzes the whole blockbusting process that went on in places like Edmondson and Park Heights in the 60's. I'm finishing it up right now... writing style isnt super exciting but there's alot of good info. Interesting read for anyone that's into urban policy/renewal.<BR/><BR/>Also - my roommate and I are trying to start a facebook group to kinda start a discussion about various ideas and thoughts for policy, development, etc in the City - since younger views arent represented much. If you'd like, your input would be very valuable (we are just starting it up right now).

However, if possible I think it would be great to save some of the duplexes along Park Heights Ave... some of those that are found on the southern parts of Park Heights Ave have incredible detail and design, and you can tell these were beautiful homes in its early days, prior to its blockbusting. Hopefully they havent been neglected for too long.<BR/><BR/>http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=3000+Park+Heights+Ave,+Maryland&sll=39.41816,-76.723709&sspn=0.255148,0.4422&ie=UTF8&ll=39.41816,-76.723709&spn=0.255148,0.4422&z=11&g=3000+Park+Heights+Ave,+Maryland&iwloc=cent&layer=c&cbll=39.332959,-76.661339&panoid=eJ42-FbfHgXW7W2lRJm5OA&cbp=12,66.22021697305627,,0,1.3320567510247827Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00815353857038833218noreply@blogger.com
