Patterson Park

February 15, 2013

The community surrounding Patterson Park is rallying against a plan that would add parking and an access road to the park. Acting director of the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks Bill Vondrasek joins us to talk about the controversial plans.

"We found our--my dream house."

John Wesby is a 36-year-old Philadelphia native who lives with his wife and three children in the neighborhood of Patterson Park. Wesby and his wife moved just East of the park in August of 2007. Despite the attractive real estate, his dream house's block suffered from "an open air drug market," and a handful of abandoned properties tarnished the curb appeal.
