Fells Point is a great historical waterfront district in Baltimore with restaurants, bars, nightlight, and shops. From the description below [[its wikipedia, take it for what its worth), Fells Point might have met its end 45 years ago, similar to paradise valley, hastings street etc.

"In 1965, transit planners proposed to link I-83 and I-95 by building an elevated highway along the north shore of the Baltimore harbor. This project would have entailed extensive demolition within Fell's Point, and the highway would have cut off the remainder of the neighborhood from the waterfront. A freeway revolt against the proposals was raised by local residents and derailed the project. Fell's Point's addition to the National Register of Historic Places prevented the use of federal funds for the road project, and contributed to the project's cancellation.[8] One of the leaders of the revolt was Barbara Mikulski, who would go on to become a U.S. Senator from Maryland."

Were there any freeway revolts around here or is that just called the 12th street riots?
