Elaine Salloway (with Joe Tosti)
Elaine Salloway walks the waterfront promenade along Baltimore's Inner Harbor multiple times a day. Sophie, Brownie and Blackie insist. They are her pomeranians. But Salloway, 51, doesn't mind.
She moved to the upscale Harborview community because she loves the water. From her vantage point, she can see a marina, the eastern shore of the harbor and the famous Domino Sugar sign. "It's one of the primary reasons I moved here," she said. "I have a view of the water." The consultant in marking strategy and research has lived here on and off for seven years. And because she has a home office, she spends a lot of time looking at the water, in addition to the frequent walks alongside it. But she frets about the trash she sees floating. The city's trash skimmers just don't seem to be able to keep up. And during a nasty fish kill the year before last, she worried about what was going on under the surface that doomed the sea life. She does her part: She picks up her dogs' waste, she recycles and she takes every step she can think of to protect the environment. And she's disappointed others don't do the same. "We all have a responsibility," she said. |
