AUDIO: Arch Social Club Hopes to Light the Way in Penn-North

Community members are working to revive the neighborhoods around Pennsylvania and North Avenues in West Baltimore. Now, there’s even more momentum behind it … with the aim to secure funds to restore the facade of the historic Arch Social Club. We hear from Marion Blackwell, manager of the non-profit Historic Pennsylvania Avenue Main Street, and from the cultural curator of Leaders of a Beautiful Struggle, spoken-word poet Brion Gill, who is leading a charge to designate the area as a Black arts and entertainment district.
