Extraordinary Storytellers
|
Last month, Charm City graciously hosted NeighborWorks Executive Director Symposium. On their first night over 80 EDs were greeted by Baltimore storytellers who told our visitors about the real Baltimore and why we love our city.
Many people know Baltimore through The Wire, and not as a city of close knit neighborhoods. These lucky listeners learned that in Baltimore: neighbors can work together to repair and rehab their homes using tools from a community tool library; for one man a home is more than the American dream, it is his family's foundation, and a young man can thrive in a city that embraces and empowers its residents to dream, believe and achieve. These Baltimore Girots offered a glimpse of life in our eclectic city of neighborhoods.
