The City That Reads Painting

This is one of the last abandoned stand alone row houses in an area of Baltimore beset with urban decay, but their very presence conveys so much more. This is one of the last nineteenth century structures were once attached to similar row houses that made up entire city blocks but now a handful remain scattered around the city. This image represents a city that has been blighted along with so many other urban areas across the country, with failing public education options, falling high school retention rates, poor job opportunities, and decaying infrastructure.
