Reply to I just had a great weekend visit to Charm City, but was wondering what the local rumors are about what is going on with Harborplace? I know it’s been on the decline but it was a bit of a shock to see how much of it is closed. by mag55555
I feel like anything that attempts to be modern or futuristic will quickly look dated, as Harborplace feels today. The developer should tear out all the concrete and instead create a timeless mix of brick-based construction (think Camden yards’ warehouse) reminiscent of the harbor’s original commercial uses. Instead of a massive pavilion, it could be a number of historic looking structures set about like a village with modern amenities inside. See bearings.earlybaltimore.org for inspiration. And if we interspersed some large trees with adequate grass and space it could be a distinctive and authentic natural-feeling downtown-adjacent space. Ideally when the water is safe enough there could be a beach space too.
