| Baltimore has been an industrial city
for much of it's past, and while much of the industrial base has left,
plenty of reminders can be found all over town. Sure there is plenty
of industry left in Baltimore today, and there are still some big plants
in town, but over the years, in a changing world, many of the old factories
have closed down or moved to where things can be done cheaper. While we list this page as " Factories ", you find all types of Baltimore's Industrial past here. Let me know what you think. |
