Gaslight Square

1401 Severn St, aka Gaslight Square is one of the coolest historic spaces in Pigtown.  The other coolest space would have to be Housewerks.  The 2.781-acre site used to be home to Valspar's Baltimore Plant.

The owner has such a great sense of space and experience with Historical Architecture.  In fact, many items used in the buildings are original, salvaged from demolition, or purchased from Housewerk's Industrial Salvage.  A big THANK YOU goes to the owner for taking his time to give us the tour.  Looking for an awesome business space?  Look no further.

Pigtown Happy Hour

Rumor has it that there used to be a happy hour event for locals around here.  I've heard a few people ask when the next one will be, and I think it's time to take matters into our own hands.  SO HERE'S THE PLAN!

Every Friday is local's night at Tommy's Downtown Tavern.  They've basically gift wrapped the happy hour for us, but there is no community organization running it.  So show up, get 10% discount off your check with proof of residency (your ID and a piece of mail are probably sufficient until they get to recognize you), and have a great time with people in the neighborhood.

Tommy's Downtown Tavern is located at the corner of W Hamburg and W Cross Streets.  But hey, don't take my word on the joint... check out the reviews for yourself.  And maybe before you go, let all your friends know what's up by posting to your Facebook status, with a link to Tommy's page.  That'll help spread the word, and spread the love.
