An eclectic mix of earthy charm and history, the seaside Baltimore neighborhood of Fell's Point is in a state of permanent renaissance. The filming site for the TV series, Homicide: Life on the Street, it's actually more charming than the gritty underbelly the show portrayed.
Now hip and colorful, this largely restored historic community just east of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor showcases Federal and Georgian architecture spared from the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904. It’s an appealing destination for young urban professionals and empty nesters alike, with cobblestone streets hosting festivals and events that attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
Looking for some classic harborfront ambiance, Bertha’s Restaurant & Bar (www.berthas.com) is a block from the pier.
“Eat Bertha’s Mussels” has become one of the more famous bumper sticker slogans among foodies of the East Coast. Local mussels shine as the menu’s spotlight—along with international delicacies like paella and at least six different ways to enjoy crab. Traditional Scottish afternoon tea is available by reservation.

Trump partner Louis Cappelli sees things differently
While others gaze at trees, White Plains developer Louis Cappelli sees the forest of opportunities.
An occasional partner with Donald Trump, White Plains, NY-based Cappelli has almost single-handedly transformed the skyline along the Long Island Sound with plans for some of the tallest structures between New York and Boston.
It's a matter of how you look at things, he said when interviewed for an October, 2007 article for AirTran Airline's in-flight magazine, Go.
“When I drive my car in a city, I’m not just gazing out the front of the car daydreaming, I’m looking at what’s there. If I see something and I like it, I come back and figure out how I could do that.”
If you ask Cappelli how to achieve business success, he’ll tell you to think less about what you want. “Walk into negotiations with a completely open mind, with a goal of getting something accomplished,” he says. “Listen to everyone, then try to figure a way to compromise.”
In a nutshell, here's some of his best business advice:
• Know what the other party wants
• Create consensus
• Be credible
