.....As
you proceed past the Armistead Monument round the northeast
corner of the Park’s perimeter and again pause to enjoy the
panoramic vistas of the Inner Harbor east beyond Fells Point
out to Canton and south to Fort McHenry and the Key Bridge.
These
latter views are now all threatened by a slew of commercial
real estate development projects already approved by the same
City officials and brought to you by the same builders who are
responsible for the pink, phallic-like high-rise that now
obliterates the views of Locust Point and the harbor to the
southeast.
Sadly,
the battle against creeping commercialism is likely to be the
first battle ever to be lost in the war to preserve the
historic beauty of Federal Hill that millions have enjoyed for
over two-hundred years.
