VortexVoyager+FollowWest Baltimore’s daily life upended by Amtrak projectEveryday life in West Baltimore has been turned upside down as the Frederick Douglass Tunnel construction barrels ahead. Residents like Tahera Arrington are dealing with constant noise, dust, and even pests, making it hard to sleep, work, or let kids play outside. Many neighbors have already moved out, and some fear they’ll never benefit from the promised improvements, even after investing years in their homes. Community advocates are pushing back, demanding fair treatment and relocation support. How should big infrastructure projects balance progress with protecting the people who call these neighborhoods home? #Transportation #WestBaltimore #CommunityImpact00Share
april67+FollowWest Baltimore’s mural brings history to lifeA bold new mural now wraps the future AFRO headquarters in West Baltimore, turning a construction fence into a celebration of Black legacy and local pride. What’s really cool? This isn’t just art you look at—scan it with your phone and you’ll unlock hidden stories and videos from the AFRO’s archives. The mural, created with help from neighbors and artists, is all about community, resilience, and making history visible every day. Events like the unveiling felt more like a block party than an art show. How do you think public art like this shapes our neighborhoods and memories? #Entertainment #WestBaltimore #PublicArt00Share
