A Federal Hill resident for 30 years, Tom Gregory has seen the neighborhood develop from a quite residential area to the historically hip neighborhood it is today.
Randall Etheridge and his wife Carrie wanted to live in a neighborhood where they could imagine having children and would not have to move after five years.
Friends thought they were crazy, but when Rebecca Wald and her husband, Michael Nutt moved from Columbia to Mt. Vernon to raise their children, but they knew exactly what they were getting into.
Although Michael Stevens' pooch, Cricket, is now in doggie heaven, Stevens' fondly remembers the reception they received when walking through his Mt. Vernon neighborhood.
