Dear Editor,
In response to the Oct. 30 “Beats and Eats” article by Alexis Dawson, thanks for writing about that Waverly Main Street event. Regarding the frustration expressed about low participation by JHU students, I want to bring to their attention a self-guided historic walking tour entitled “Village Life Goes On Along the Old York Road”, which can be accessed online at betterwaverly.org/about/walking-tours.
Taking this tour is a great way to learn about the old historic Waverly village whose commercial corridor was last year added to the National Register of Historic Places.
There are also three historic makers in the district: one at 31st Street and Greenmount Avenue outside the Baltimore City landmarked old Waverly Town Hall, another on the Olmsted Green at East 33rd Street and Greenmount Avenue, where maps and texts tell the historic Waverly village story and one behind Waverly Farmers’ Market on Merryman Lane at Schoolhouse Garden.
Students are urged to consider exploring/residing/shopping Waverly!
Joe Stewart
