Canton (Baltimore, Maryland)

Highlights
Canton (Baltimore, Maryland)

Once a booming hub of industry, Canton is now a trendy area for young urban professionals. Instead of foundries, warehouses and wharfs, you will now find a variety of restaurants, bars and nightclubs along the streets of Canton. The neighborhood is a melting pot -- a mixing of its industrial, blue-collar roots with the new "executive" face of the community. There is no better example of this blending than the American Can Company on Boston Street.

Once a booming hub of industry, Canton is now a trendy area for young urban professionals. Instead of foundries, warehouses and wharfs, you will now find a variety of restaurants, bars and nightclubs along the streets of Canton. The neighborhood is a melting pot -- a mixing of its industrial, blue-collar roots with the new "executive" face of the community. There is no better example of this blending than the American Can Company on Boston Street. Once a large canning facility, the rehabbed buildings now house chic restaurants and retailers and high-tech business. A short trip down O'Donnell Street from the Can Company leads to O'Donnell Square. The center of the square was once an open-air public market but now serves as a small patch of green in the dense urban jungle. Surrounding the square are a multitude of bars and restaurants as well as a few retail shops. This area truly caters to the local nightlife, offering something for everyone, whether you're looking to have a beer, sip some wine or drink-til-you-drop. The popularity of the establishments are evident to anyone trying to find a parking spot nearby.  « Show less
