This place, people counted it out to drown. But Cherry Hill is literally that. We are a hill. I don’t care how much water you surround us by. We are a hill that will always stand and will always be bold.
Pastor Aaron Hannah of @ South Church, 601 Cherry Hill Road
The South Baltimore neighborhood of Cherry Hill looks out across the Inner Harbor to the downtown skyline, but it’s a world unto itself. The block at the heart of the neighborhood is 600 Cherry Hill Road, and Out of the Blocks field producer Melissa Gerr introduces us to the preachers, barbers, shop owners, and neighbors who call it home.
