Officials to mark Charles Street byway status

Charles Street, Baltimore’s premier north-south artery, will have its day iin the spotlight Monday when state, city and Baltimore County officials gather at Mount Vernon Place to celebrate the road’s designation as a National Scenic Byway.

The selection actually took place last year, but officials are just getting around to throwing a party in Charles’ honor.

County Executive Jim Smith, Maryland Transportation Secretary Beverly Swaim-Staley and city Transportation Director Khalis Zaied will be among the speakers at a new conference at 11 a.m., which will be folllowed by a "min-fair" from noon to 1 p.m.

When you think about it, Charles Street is a worthy candidate — starting in gritting South Baltimore and passing through downtown, Mount Vernon, Charles Village, Johns Hopkins University, Roland Park and into Baltimore County as far north as Lutherville. Dozens of historic buildings have their address on the street. That’s pretty scenic.

  1. You are doing good work. We are trying to as well.

    How about using Mr. Brown? Or some other name that doesn’t violate Federal USPTO laws, rules and regulations?

    HumanCar, Inc.
    USPTO Registered Trade Mark name owner

  2. I love HumanCar Inc.! But please understand I’ve been using this handle since 2005, long before you guys made a splash in the news but I’ve sent a request into the webmaster to see if he can change it.

    I will also note my handle comes from my son when I picked him up one day from school and his classmates asked "Where your car? and my son replied "My dad is the human car." Too cute not to use.

    FWIW There is a Brown Inc, too. It’s hard to avoid these things.

  3. Mr. Brown

    Clearly, we are on the same side here. I applaud your efforts to move street biking forward in your area. You can understand our concern regarding the use of the name – we have no choice but to defend our I.P.

    Perhaps we can arrange for you to do your commute in one of our Imagine_PS human/hybrid cars. It was specifically developed to give health oriented people a fighting chance during commuter traffic situations.

    Regards,

    Mr. Greenwood
