8 Things To Do In Baltimore's Station North Neighborhood

Visit The Station North Arts and Entertainment District for a fun weekend out. Visit the neighborhood most often referred to as simply Station North.

You'll be in an area designated as an official arts and entertainment district in Baltimore.

Marked by a combination of artistic ventures including theaters and museums, the neighborhood's abandoned warehouses now are loft-style living.

The district is bound by 20th Street on the north, on the east by Greenmount Avenue, and on the south and west by Amtrak's Northeast Corridor train tracks. Here are a few highlights:

1. The Charles Theater
The Charles shows indie films and has very buttery popcorn.
