Canton
S Lakewood Ave and O"Donnell St, Southeast Baltimore, Baltimore, MD 
The Canton area of Baltimore has been active since its development in 1828, but it has only recently been rediscovered. Present day Canton is located on land originally owned by Colonel John O'Donnell, the first trader to bring goods from China to Baltimore. The move from pastoral Canton to industrial Canton was overseen by the Canton Company, a real estate development firm that is known for building "Copper Row" where the factory workers lived. Canton is the location of the Navy Yard that produced the USS Constellation in 1794-1797. The B&O Railroad's first steam engine, Tom Thumb, was also built in this region of the city. Today visitors can still enjoy the historic, working class flavor of the area thanks to the brick row houses, warehouses, and frame and stone churches that have survived. Canton is now undergoing gentrification; the old factories are being renovated into condos and the O'Donnell Square area has become a hot spot for hip, new restaurants.

Montgomery at Light St, Baltimore, MD

The area is composed of numerous Federal-style homes, and the inhabitants are very preservation-minded; some areas of Federal Hill have extremely strict urban renewal covenants that must be followed. Cross Street Market is located in this district and, increasingly, chic shops and restaurants are moving here to bask in the historic charm.

Fell's Point
Shakespeare St at Broadway, Baltimore, MD 21231
Fell's Point derives its name from William Fell, the shipbuilder who purchased the land in 1726. Fell's Point, Jones Town, and Baltimore Town were incorporated in 1773 to create what we know today as Baltimore. Jones Falls stopped the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904, so Fell's Point is still home to over 350 original colonial period buildings including the oldest house in Baltimore (now a museum), which was built in 1765. Today Fell's Point is a mix of commercial and residential buildings. Most people claim the area comes to life at night, but there are many boutiques and antique shops that make a stroll in this nationally registered Historic District a pleasant daytime activity.
