Use the Baltimore City DOT Saltbox map (link in Bio) to find your local box and stock up on salt before weather starts and follow @bmorecitydot for updates and yuks.

And if you can free a hand from your mittens, post some pics of your local box in action!

Shovel and salt wisely, friends!

Celebrating like my man Cardi on Brassic is understandable, but not advised. Be safe out there!

  • Food pantry saltbox at 239 Baltimore Ave., Dundalk.

This is a story of teamwork making a dream work. 

We built this 2/3-sized food pantry saltbox prototype based on a great idea floated by Things To Do in Baltimore and donated it to the Baltimore Community Fridge Network, founded in part by saltbox artist and force of nature Liz Miller. This location is run by Rev Kevin of the Love Thy Neighbor Food Pantry. 

If you have the skills to help build more of these smaller, but still mighty food pantry saltboxes based on this design, reach out to the Baltimore Community Fridge network. They have the materials. 

Follow the Baltimore Community Fridge Network for a full map of network location and information on how to support this vital resource, 

Special thanks to Lisa Harbin for supplying the food.

  • Closing 2025 with a simple favorite:
 
This is Poole St. in Hampden. A saltbox shows up every year on a set of ghost steps from when Roosevelt Park used to be Hampden Reservoir. It’s a bright, crisp sunrise over the field. The graffiti and murals covering the rec center and the skatepark pop even at this distance. To the left, out of frame, is the community garden and ACCE school. The day is starting. 

This is Baltimore. It’s goddamn gorgeous. 

Be safe and be well in 2026, friends!

This genius homage to the once-ubiquitous yellow and pink Big Boyz Bail Bond pen gives me all the feels. Make sure you pop open the top and pick up a pen (or leave a pen). 🖊️
