About the Book

Camden Yards before Oriole Park ...Pratt and Light before Harborplace ...Howard Street bustling with well-dressed shoppers ...The Jones Falls flowing freely to the harbor ...Sometimes Baltimore's past is almost impossible to imagine; sometimes it's just across the street. Great buildings, beautiful bridges, wild landscapes, whole neighborhoods--all have been lost to neglect or new construction. But much of old Baltimore still stands, and much more is preserved in local archives, family albums, and fond memories. In this revised and expanded edition of his popular book, Mark B. Miller puts Baltimore's past and present side-by-side, showing historic photographs of the city next to recent photographs taken from the same vantage point. The result is a wonderful record of Baltimore's past--and an engaging guide to the historic buildings and features that survive today. This new edition of Baltimore Transitions adds several new views of Falls Road and the Jones Falls valley and one of Broadway looking south from Baltimore Street in 1890. "Baltimore Transitions is a must buy ...Whether you are a Baltimore worrier or a Baltimore optimist, you won't be able to stop looking through this picture book, which is accompanied by a well- researched text amazingly free of numbing cliches. As I look at the before-and-after shots, I keep thinking just how much of Baltimore is, in fact, preserved ...Here's a fine book that gets you thinking. Is it all gone? Or is it really all there, waiting to be better understood, used, and appreciated?"--Jacques Kelly, Baltimore Sun "Mark B. Miller's Baltimore is going and gone. In his new book, Baltimore Transitions: Views of an American City in Flux, he shows us the town's charms before the armies of architects and planners and demolition experts had their way, and also shows us the exact changes in the click of a camera shutter. The camera is his. Miller first dug up mountains of photos of the city's yesteryear, and then took his own shots of the same locations today--from the original camera angles. It'll leave you wistful when it doesn't make you mutter a curse under your breath."--Michael Olesker, Baltimore Sun
