You're welcome - I was lucky enough to find the Baist's atlas at John King's fantastic bookstore. I get lost in it. I can send higher res if you would like.
I have wondered whether that area just north of Antietam is what Hastings Street generally felt like. Have always liked the spot at Jay and Orleans, and Service Street. Quirky urban meaty... Not sure about the origins of the name though.
Yes the whole fire thing - its disturbing how many times this town has either burned down, or set fires to others' properties as a weapon or warning, or set fire to itself as protest, or for insurance, or out of boredom, or to make a place safer, or entertainment. I've started working on a paper on it a few times but seem to end up dropping it - depressing. Lots of really disturbing material out there in the archives.
Lafayette Park - lucky lucky! The eastern redbuds must be beautiful about now.
