Benn Ray is president of the Hampden Village Merchants
Association and owner of Atomic Books. His essay—Why
I Love my Neighborhood—first appeared in Baltimore
Magazine’s Ultimate Neighborhood Guide / April 2011.
by Benn Ray | It happens every week.
A group of folks stops in my store and
says, “I wish we had a neighborhood like
this where I live.” ¶ But that isn’t the part
that gets me. What makes me proud
of Hampden are the answers I get when
I ask where they are from. Answers like
“New York.” “Washington.” “San Francisco.”
“Chicago.” ¶ What these folks covet is
Hampden’s main street, “The Avenue,”
which is nearly devoid of chain stores,
instead favoring individually owned shops
and boutiques staffed and managed by
city residents who would be priced out in
those other cities. ¶ They are referring to
Hampden’s unique character that comes from
a micro-melting pot of lifelong residents and
young artists and professionals—a mutually
beneficial cohabitation of people of various
socioeconomic backgrounds. They are
referring to the real possibility that a person
who just served them a meal or a drink at a
local bar or restaurant is, more likely than
not, in a band that just got a great review on
NPR or pitchfork.com. ¶ It is the envy of others
that keeps me from taking for granted what
a truly unique and precious Baltimore City
neighborhood Hampden is.

Hampden originated
in 1802 as a center for
manufacturing cotton
canvas used for sails
on ships. Today the
mills and surrounding
houses have been
repurposed as living
spaces, offices, artists’
studios, restaurants,
and more.
