This is a new walk

From this great book, of Bolton Hill I have kept it by my bed, Its like one of those bed time stories your grandparent would tell you of the good ole days. Reading this book I would suggest to any one that wanted to know a little about baltimore and do with out all the extra volume of words that take your attention away from what you would like to know.



So for tonight my honorable readers as promised we take a walk to Lollipop lane, or I took a walk down bolton st to Lollipop Ln. An when I looked for it or history of this lane it only says it a place for romance and a great kiss. So I wanted to see if the writer had something for the lovers in baltimore. Well in the book the man that is telling about bolton st is standing on lollipop ln in the ally and that is just what it is a alley. Nothing is special, romantic or even glamous its an ally by a beautiful house. I thought that it might jump like other streets do so I took a walk around the corner and there wasnt.


So I have to look some more on that topic. According to the book the roads were named after the men that layed them but it also says that bolton Hill is the misnamed of the actually street that is should be named "Rose Hill" a district was 74 acre estate of William gibson. His home stood were the Key statue stands today. The book talks about slightly speaks about when slavely actually ended the up keep of homes on Bolton Hill change due to the slave were the ones that kept the home and lands. Once slavely ended and negros ( I dare say) no longer needed to be under their masters the homes were to big for the owners to tend to themselves and it showed in pics.
