I travel past this area every weekday. The Squashwise signs have been up for months, but nothing seems to be happening, other than the building is being targeted for graffiti. Its great to see the building on Ross and Howard, (next to dog park) is being renovated. This spot was the site of the first Hopkins University. It was small, only about 5-6 buildings. The students lived in rooms rented in the large homes on Howard, and the Market at the top of Howard & Read was busy with people buying their daily needs.

The land that the bus station now sits, was the walled garden and part of the Visitation Convent, and Girls school. The complex stretched from Howard across to Park Ave.
