January issue also features a story on Catherine Pugh’s road to becoming Mayor of Baltimore and a remembrance of notable luminaries lost in 2016
In Baltimore magazine’s January cover story, How Baltimore Invented the Modern World, the editors review the people, places and technologies that have contributed to shaping the modern world, including Baltimore native William Painter who invented the bottle cap and bottle opener, the oldest market in America: Lexington Market, andThe B&O Railroad.
“In the following pages, we list 110 ways that Baltimore helped invent modern
America,” said senior editor Ron Cassie. “The number is a nod to Baltimore’s 110th anniversary as the oldest continually published city magazine in the country. More importantly, the list is a reminder that Baltimore was—and is—one of America’s greatest cities. We make the case that Baltimore is the true birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution."
The January issue also features The Lady In Waiting, a story looking back at the hurdles Catherine Pugh overcome to achieve her accomplishments, which include beginning her career as an elected official in 1999 on the City Council to, most recently, being elected the Mayor of Baltimore. Another feature, In Memoriam, reminisces about inspirational individuals lost in 2016, including John Paterakis, founder and owner of H&S Bakery, and AVAM co-founder Leroy “Roy” Hoffberger.
Other highlights of the issue include Slim Gyms, which focuses on local boutiques combining fitness and community and MOM’s Boy, a story about how MOM’s Organic Market founder Scott Nash has helped lead the organic grocery revolution.
