In this episode of the TJ Smith Podcast, we dive deep into the evolving landscape of Baltimore's urban development, exploring the dynamic history of its leadership with a focus on mayoral influences. Join us as we discuss the importance of anchor institutions in shaping the city's future and the potential setbacks that have arisen from projects like the Horseshoe Casino. Through reflective analysis, we question whether the initial promises have met expectations and what needs to be done to spur further growth and development in the area. TJ Smith is live every weekday from 10:00am-2:00pm ET on WBAL News Radio 1090, FM101.5, and the WBAL Radio App.
