Before the most recent snowfall, I snapped these shots of Fell's Point. I wish I had waited til after the snow, but I'll have plenty chances to snap the city under snow this winter.
Anyway, Fell's Point is easily one of Baltimore's oldest and most interesting neighborhoods. It was "identified" as Long Island Point in 1670 and in 1726 an English Quaker named William Fell (hence Fell's Point) bought the land and in 1763 the Town of Fell's Point was founded. Two hundred and seventy nine years later, the neighborhood is still one of the most vibrant in Baltimore. Fells Point has become one of the city's most diverse and eclectic areas filled with shops that you'll be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Also, someone requested some shots of Spanishtown (which is just north of Fells Point) on another thread...I included those too. Hope you enjoy.
