  3. Great buildings for a great city

    Developers in downtown Baltimore seek tax breaks and infrastructure improvements for their projects. In return for those benefits, Baltimore should require an architectural design competition in an effort to make the city a center for world-class architecture.

  6. Think government doesn't do good? Read this

    During this election cycle, it is increasingly popular in some circles to condemn government as wasteful, inefficient and incompetent. While there are thousands of federal, state and local government programs, each with its own index of success or failure, it might encourage those who believe government is a force for good to consider a number of interventions by the Baltimore City government (with federal and state assistance, in some instances) that markedly improved the lives of those involved by taking actions that only government could accomplish. A similar and much larger list could be assembled of successful Maryland and national government initiatives.

  7. Not quite a Hollywood ending at the Senator

    It's easy to see why the city's sale of the <a href="http://findlocal.baltimoresun.com/belvedere-square-govans/home/vintage-movie-house/senator-theatre-baltimore-movie-theater">Senator Theatre</a> gave Comptroller Joan Pratt heartburn. The city paid $810,000 for the movie palace three years ago and this week sold it for a $310,000 loss. Worse yet, the city is hardly washing its hands of the seemingly snakebit property. It will hold the mortgage &#8212; and charge a minuscule 2 percent in interest. The city is putting up an additional $700,000 loan to the theater's new owners, who are also receiving a loan from the state and another from a bank. Too much debt brought the Senator to the brink of failure several times before, and if it does so again, the theater will be right back in the city's hands.

  10. At the Mechanic, a tragedy in two acts

    Lurking beneath the surface of the controversy over the future of the Morris Mechanic Theatre are two issues which, if not resolved, can only be described as tragedies for the future of historic preservation in Baltimore.
