Talk:Lansdowne-Baltimore Highlands, Maryland

Copyright

Some of the text in this article seems to come from the Baltimore County Public Library, which, while it is a public library, makes no assertions as to the copyright/licensing status of its Web site. Am I missing something? -Harmil 28 June 2005 11:51 (UTC)

1800s

While I'm at it, do we mean the decade, 1800s, or the 19th century? They're not interchangeable... -Harmil 28 June 2005 11:51 (UTC)

Merger proposal

I am proposing the merger of Baltimore Highlands, Maryland into Lansdowne-Baltimore Highlands, Maryland. This seems a reasonable combination, because Lansdowne-Baltimore Highlands already includes most of the text from Baltimore Highlands, Maryland. The merger will also help resolve confusion between the Baltimore Highlands of Baltimore County and a neighborhood of the same name in East Baltimore. Folklore1 (talk) 20:17, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Merge completed on September 20, 2011. Folklore1 (talk) 19:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Because the 2010 census splits Baltimore Highlands and Lansdowne into two separate CDPs, I have created two new articles, Baltimore Highlands, Maryland, and Lansdowne, Maryland, which will have the 2010 census info and the portions of this article that pertain to each CDP. This article will remain for the historic population figures. --Ken Gallager (talk) 19:42, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Personal reminiscence

I found the following personal notes added to the article by User:98.169.107.160. They were not fit for the article as written but may be of value to future editors:

As a young girl I lived in the English COuncel, which was also called Baltimore Highlands. Lansdowne was not part of Baltimore Highlands. Patapsco River, now a park or a marsh around Annapolis Rd, was filled with water. We would play along the railroad tracks and did find holes under the tracks where Negroes would jump off the train and hide, or would jump onto the train to head towards PA. When it was a farm, some were caught and worked on the farm. In the old white house in the cellar were chains on the wall where the caught black people were held. My dad knew the man who owned the old white farm house. The place gave me the creeps. It is said the houses built in Baltimore Highlands were cheap land, partly because the white people after the war, did not know it was an Indian Burial Ground before the farm took over. I remember my dad reading in the paper how a pile of oyster shells had been found from the Indian days.

Siren

Just moved here and there is this loud air raid siren that goes about once a night, usually after 9pm. Does anyone know what it is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:A:6480:1BAB:84A8:FF53:E9A:AD8D (talk) 00:22, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
