HOW IT ’ S GOING

HOW IT STARTED
REMEMBERING THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
At the Baltimore Museum of Industry , you can explore the city ’ s industrial past , when factories were neighborhood centerpieces and manufacturing was how most people fed their families . Located in a former oyster cannery , the museum has exhibits on seafood packing , printing and garment manufacturing , as well as a metal shop and an old-fashioned grocery store .

Who doesn ’ t love a look back ? If you ’ ve been on social media recently , there ’ s no doubt you ’ ve seen the memes that put images of the past side-by-side with the present under the headings “ how it started ” and “ how it ’ s going .” The viral trend could easily tell the story of Baltimore : a historic city with lovingly preserved places and traditions that is also constantly reinventing itself and innovating new trends .

While it ’ s easy to love Baltimore ’ s tried-and-true classics , there ’ s something to be said for innovation . So why not have both ? Take the time to check out some of the city ’ s staples and recent places and tastes that are shaking things up .
