āA HEALTHY HARBOR STARTS HEREā
by Bridget Cimino
āI was here when the neighborhood was at its peakā 75-year-old East Baltimore resident told The Baltimore Sun. āIt went down to nothing. Now you look at something like this, and it tells me the neighborhood is coming back. It lightens my day.ā Bridget Ciminoās mural at McElderry and N. Collington is the first of five new murals being created as part of the Watership Partnershipās Healthy Harbor Initiativeātransforming the community as well as raising awareness of the Harris Creek watershed which traverses 17 Baltimore neighborhoods. Painted after extensive efforts were undertaken to clean up this empty lot, Cimino says she āwanted people to realize that what you put into the ground goes into the harbor and affects the birds and wildlife.āĀ @ciminobridgetĀ @healthyharborbaltimoreĀ Ā
