@baltimorehistorychannel: **Caption:** EAST BALTIMORE, STAND UP 🏠 This is HIGHLANDTOWN. Before it was Highlandtown, it was Snake Hill. German butchers and brewers, Polish and Czech screen painters, Italian grocers, Greek families — and Appalachian families who rode up looking for work — built this neighborhood by hand, one rowhouse and one corner store at a time. Highlandtown gave Baltimore the painted screen. It gave us Haussner's on the Avenue, Di Pasquale's since 1914, and a grocer's daughter named Barbara Mikulski, who organized the neighborhood, stopped a 16-lane highway, and became the longest-serving woman in the history of Congress. 💪 Highlandtown — what did we miss? 👇 Follow @baltimorehistorychannel for Baltimore history daily 👆 #baltimore #eastbaltimore #highlandtown #pattersonpark #paintedscreens
