Baltimore: Inner Harbor

[xzmattzx]

Here's Part 2 of the 4 part series of three Baltimore neighborhoods I recently visited. The Inner Harbor is nationally known for it's revitalization of downtown Baltimore. The most recent redevelopment is is the Harbor East area, a few blocks east of the main Inner harbor area. What was once parking lots just a couple years ago is now becoming a neighborhood full of highrises which will function as condos, hotels, retail space, and entertainment complexes.

Looking across a channel from Caroline Street at Lancaster Street and the developments along it in the Harbor East area. The building in the foreground is 701 South Eden Street, which will be a condo building.

The Marriott Waterfront Hotel is on the left in the background, and The future Four Seasons Hotel site in on the left in the foreground. 800 Aliceanna Street (The Vue Harbor East) is on the right in the background, and the Spinnaker Bay condo building at the left in the foreground.
