From it's origins in the mid-1800s as the main street of a sleepy little town, to the shopping area of a turn-of-the-century summer retreat, to one of the city's strongest and most frequented shopping districts in the mid 1900s, the Waverly Shopping District has rightfully earned it's place in the hearts and history of Baltimore City. Today's Waverly Shopping District, however, while surrounded by strong and attractive mixed-demographic neighborhoods and within proximity of two major universities, shows very little of it's former glory, and contributes very little to it's surrounding neighborhoods. Greenmount Partners was formed with the sole mission of making the Waverly Shopping District once again into a vibrant shopping district through cleanup, commercial redevelopment, greening and community arts.
