Front Stoops in the Fifties by Michael Olesker
Olesker's doo-wop portrait of Baltimore is nostalgic, but it has a hard edge.
Front Stoops in the Fifties is a fascinating read; one which convincingly makes the case that what was happening in the Baltimore of the 1950s was a microcosm of the shift that was happening all across AmericaThe shocking part is just how relevant these stories remain today. Baltimore Post-Examiner
