When I learned that Todd Conner's had opened in the location where the sports bar Slammers and the Tex-Mex cafe Armadillo's were previously, I saw it as another sign that Fells Point is indeed becoming more gentrified. But then I ate there, and I'm not so sure.

Owners Nikki Popovich and her partner, Michael "Reds" Cassidy, have done their best to create a warm, friendly neighborhood dining room with a hip vibe. The small room has its own entrance, or you can go through the bar. The wooden floors look newly refinished. The room has been freshly painted in shades of cream and grayish-green, colors taken from the large painting that dominates one wall. Diamond-shaped mirrors add sparkle.
