ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The authors would like to thank the Society for the Preservation of Federal Hill and Fell’s Point for saving this eclectic neighborhood and many of its historic buildings. We would like to thank Joy Giordano and Fell’s Point Main Street for continuing the Fell’s Point Fun Festival the past several years and for their encouragement and support for this book. We would like to thank the individuals and organizations who made it possible to have the amazing array of photographs we used for this book. Local photographer Dan Magus made a special drone flight to show the Fell’s Point waterfront. Artist Maria Cavacos created a cartoon of “Cheese Joe,” because no photographs or illustrations existed of this neighborhood character who died in 1850. Mark Walker offered an array of photographs and information on Fell’s Point magician Dantini. Dozens of Fell’s Point neighbors shared their photographs with us. The Library of Congress and Wikimedia Commons make public domain images easily available to storytellers like us. Arcadia Publishing editors Erin Vosgien and Jeff Ruetsche were instrumental in helping get everything ready so the book would be available for the historic 2016 Fell’s Point Fun Festival 50th Anniversary. Thank you all!
