South Baltimore Gateway Partnership Announces $346,735 in New Community Grants

South Baltimore Gateway Partnership press release: 

The South Baltimore Gateway Partnership (SBGP) announces $346,735 in new Community Grants to support 11 projects across South and Southwest Baltimore. This round of funding attracted proposals totaling more than $1.5 million. Since its establishment in 2016, SBGP has committed approximately $25.4 million of core and supplemental funds to projects across the District, ranging from small community grants to large capital projects. Community Grants are awarded based on previously determined criteria, including alignment with strategic goals. SBGP Community Grants funding is provided by the Local Impact Grants generated by video lottery terminals, including at the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore.

Elev8 Baltimore, Inc. was awarded funding this cycle that will support existing operations and expand programming offered outside of the evening hours. Elev8 provides out-of-school time opportunities and coordinates school-based health services, resources, support, and outreach at the South Baltimore Adult High School, located in the Cherry Hill community. “We’re excited to become a new Grantee with SBGP! This grant award will support us in providing important services to adults in South Baltimore. The South Baltimore Adult High School is the only operating high school in the state of Maryland for students 21 and older that provides a traditional high school diploma, so it is very important that we are able to expand our services,” says CEO Alexandria Warrick Adams.

SBGP offers smaller grant funding as well. The “Spark” and “Small” grant tiers support programs up to $2,000 and $5,000, respectively. The Federal Hill Neighborhood Association (FHNA) received a small grant to provide neighborhood tours.  FHNA Social Committee Chairman Sheri Hunt says, “This grant will help us partner with Maryland House & Garden Pilgrimage to plan and lead a house tour featuring 8 – 10 architecturally and/or historically significant Federal Hill homes and gardens. We’re excited to offer this program to encourage people to come downtown and see what makes Federal Hill unique.”

Business Volunteers Maryland also received a grant this cycle and will use it to build upon its unique positioning in Baltimore and vast corporate network to combat inequity in a new program. “We’re looking forward to expanding our capacity building support through SBGP. Our new, grant-funded Capacity Accelerator Program will provide wrap-around, capacity building support to a cohort of high-potential Black- and Brown-led nonprofit organizations in their mission to advance racial equity in the Baltimore region,” says Chief Service Officer Alissa Ganser.

In addition to the projects described above, other funding will support a variety of programs:

• Marketing support to expand community reach, build relationships, and build up Solo Gibbs park and the surrounding area. Marketing goals include sharing the core values of neighborhood pride and supportive families to help break through barriers historically separating the two communities of Sharp-Leadenhall and Otterbein. (Neighbors Meeting Neighbors)
• “Bird Ambassadors” provides educational programs and projects related to the local environment, habitat restoration, and specific engagement with Spanish-speaking families. Trained program leaders engage participants to tackle projects including planting and maintaining a pollinator garden at the Charles Carroll Barrister Elementary School in Pigtown and other greening opportunities in the community.  (National Audubon Society dba Patterson Park Audubon Center/Audubon Mid-Atlantic)
• “LET’S GO STEM” will expand STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education services to include the following Title 1 schools: Westport Academy, Lakeland Elementary/Middle School and Community STEAM Center, Cherry Hill Elementary/Middle School, and St. Ignatius Loyola Academy (Federal Hill South) to serve approximately 310 youth. (LET’S GO Boys & Girls)
• “Climate Changemakers” program for 3rd graders (Westport Elementary School, Lakeland Elementary/Middle School, and The Historic Cherry Hill Elementary/Middle School) will educate students about local climate change impacts and engage them in stewardship action projects that reduce the heat emitted in their communities and increase climate resiliency.  (Living Classrooms Foundation, Inc.)

A full list of project awards can be found here.

In addition to grant funding, SBGP offers a variety of free workshops supporting current and potential grantees, local nonprofits, and community organizations. SBGP’s “Keys to Capacity” programming aims to build capacity through professional skills development and strategic partnership opportunities. This year SBGP introduced a new hybrid program, “Nonprofit Boot Camp”: a six-session series focused on a robust variety of learning topics benefitting those involved with nonprofits. Now three-quarters through the program, there have been 24 unique participants with 12 participants attending two or more sessions. Participants include current SBGP grantees as well as other organizations within the SBGP District and beyond. Learn more about upcoming opportunities here: https://sbgpartnership.org/workshops/

A new round of SBGP Community Grants funding will be available this coming winter in 2023. Visit https://sbgpartnership.org/community-grants/ to learn more and apply.

Mike Rowe Posts About Barfly’s on Facebook

Celebrity Mike Rowe mentioned South Baltimore businesses to his following of 6 million on Facebook again. This time he gave a shout out to Barfly’s in Riverside and its use of Rowe’s new Knobel Tennessee Whiskey.

From Mike Rowe’s Facebook page:

Something pretty cool is happening back in my hometown.

Baltimore bartenders have responded to the sudden availability of my grandfather’s whiskey with a flurry of inspired concoctions. Examples are pouring in, (as it were,) and the first comes from Avery, who works at Barfly’s – one of the greatest bars in the country. (Seriously, their whiskey selection is vast, and their bar food is stupidly good.)

Barfly’s happens to be located in South Baltimore, just around the corner from Harborview Liquors, where my new friend, Liz Hartlove, had the good sense to order a couple cases of my grandfather’s whiskey. But here’s the fun part. Scott, (a random dude whose birthday party I crashed several weeks ago, after a spontaneous visit to the aforementioned Harborview Liquors, where I met the aforementioned Liz,) told the legendary mixologists at Barfly’s to buy a few bottles of Knobel from Liz, and start making cocktails with my grandfather’s whiskey. Now, to my everlasting delight, the aforementioned Avery has introduced “The Dirty Old Fashioned,” which I’m absolutely confident is delicious.

I’ll confirm this in a few weeks when I stop by in person to see for myself. In the meantime, if you’re in the area and so inclined, do me favor and stop by the aforementioned Barfly’s on Fort Avenue, (as in Fort McHenry,) have yourself a Dirty Old Fashioned, and tell me what you think. Much obliged.

Mike

PS. The aforementioned Avery is holding a “Dirty Manhattan,” which is a lot like the aforementioned “Dirty Old Fashioned,” without the ice, and a little sweet vermouth instead of simple syrup, which is how the aforementioned Scott prefers it.

To each his own…

PPS. Also, when you’re at Barfly’s, get a pizza. I swear, Chicago has NOTHING on South Baltimore. Except perhaps, for a much crazier mayor…

Barfly’s Co-Owner told SouthBMore.com it was “pretty awesome” for Rowe to mention his bar.

Rowe posted about a visit to Harborview Liquors last month on Facebook. That post generated more than 149,000 likes, more than 9,300 comments, and more than 9,000 shares. He chronicled meeting Hartlove and partying with Scott Fata.

SouthBMore.com sat down with Rowe to discuss his trip to South Baltimore, his new love for the neighborhood, and all the businesses he visited.

Rowe is a native of Baltimore and attended Towson University. He now lives in Northern California.

Sliders Bar & Grille Sold to Alliance Restaurant Group

The Alliance Restaurant Group added to its portfolio last month by purchasing Sliders Bar & Grille at 504 Washington Blvd. in Ridgely’s Delight. The 4,300 sq. ft. sports bar, which is a popular pregame spot for Baltimore Orioles games, has been open across the street from Oriole Park at Camden Yards for almost 30 years. It goes by the tagline “771 feet away from home plate.”

The Sliders business is now owned by Matthew Stewart. The real estate is owned by Alliance Restaurant Group, which owns other restaurants in Canton and Federal Hill including Blue Agave Mexican Food and Nola Seafood & Spirits.

The upswing of the Baltimore Orioles, which finished above .500 for the first time in six years this season, was a big reason Alliance Restaurant Group was interested in the opportunity.

“I’m very confident in the trajectory of the team. I expect more people to be attending games,” said Matthew Lasinski, owner of Alliance Restaurant Group. “It’s a great space and a great opportunity. ”

Lasinski is also hoping the renovated Baltimore Arena, which will reopen in February, and the return of events to the Baltimore Convention Center will have Sliders “primed for success.”

Sliders remains open, but Alliance Restaurant Group will be undertaking renovations to update the interior and exterior of the building and “lighten and brighten up the space” by making modifications to bring in more natural light. Lasinski said renovations will pick up in the winter when the NFL season ends. There could possibly be a few days Sliders is closed during these renovations.

Lasinski said the menu will still have a focus on burgers and wings, but they plan on “upgrading the offerings” and making it more of a “food destination.”

“We want people to come in when there are no events,” he added.

Sliders plans on adding pre-made lunches for employees and students at University of Maryland, Baltimore and University of Maryland Medical Center.

Sliders currently opens at 2pm when the Baltimore Orioles have a game and 4pm on other days. Lasinski said they are still figuring what the hours will be moving forward, but noted “they will be built on consistency.”
