Baltimore is a historic and diverse city comprised of unique neighborhood communities. The historic Pen Lucy neighborhood, annexed to the city in 1888, was once a thriving commercial district and gateway to the surrounding community, but has become a magnet for crime in recent years. The neighboring Waverly community was once heavily traveled by sports fans due to its proximity to Memorial Stadium. After the stadium was demolished, the dynamic of Waverly has experienced changes and challenges. After five decades of population decline, the city of Baltimore has recently stabilized and begun to see a rise in population largely due to revitalization and preservation efforts in multiple city neighborhoods, including a National Trust citywide Main Street program. HGTV, Rebuilding Together and the National Trust for Historic Preservation can join this effort and continue the transformation in Baltimore.
