Ghosts of Baltimore - What Was Where?!?

"WHAT WAS WHERE?!?"

Often of interest to people who don't even carry a deep historical yearning is the simple knowledge in finding out what preceeded the current "tenant" of a location. This is ghosting at its most basic, and its our hope that this page might just inspire those looking at it to become interested in taking a deeper look at this site, and finding interest in some of the other topics contained as well.
With no further delay is a look at some examples of former tenants to current locations.
