When visiting Hollins Market, my idea of what I thought it was going to look like was completely different when actually visiting the Market. My past experiences for markets, came from the idea that they were to look a lot like a farmers market. Then when touring Lexington Market last semester my views where totally different. Now when touring Hollins Market, I realized that, "Hollins Market" isn't just limited to the market itself, but to the surrounding businesses as well. The Market itself is smaller in size, but larger if you include the surrounding businesses. The history that is located around the Market is amazing, the stables near the Market was the best part of the whole tour. To see that a horse stable in the middle of a city, because that was the original location; was truly breath taking. During this tour of the Hollins Market, I learned more history about the Market and the surrounding community. In comparison to the Lexington Market, I feel there was more history in the Hollins Market. Our tour guide Curtis Eaddy was the person that really contributed to our experience of Hollins Market. His family is apart of the history, as well as his extensive knowledge that he has pertaining to the Market. I want to learn more of the history of Hollins Market, and the in-depth history of the local businesses that have been there for so long.
The main focus or storyline for our project is to showcase the history of Hollins Market. As mentioned before, there isn't any ground breaking contribution we could do, but more so show case the rich history that stems from Hollins Market. Giving insight to the local businesses that have been built in or near the Market and have lasted as long as they have; is something worth celebrating. Creating a platform of advertisement for the businesses, so locals around Baltimore would come and visit. This could increase revenue for Hollins Market, that may not be present at the Market currently. The name of the project needs to be witty or clever to help draw in interest from outsiders. One idea may be: Walking History of Hollins Market.(yes, I know this screams witty!!) This project is to help explore the rich history of the Hollins Market and why the area should be consider a staple of Baltimore. During our recent visit of Hollins Market, I was unaware of the history the Market itself h
