Howard Street in western Downtown Baltimore, Maryland is on the path to once again being a lively place. Abandoned for years, the strip has fallen into disrepair and was auctioned off by the City. A few local artists banded together and bought many of the lots on the west side of the street and are redeveloping them into a cultural destination as part of the Bromo Arts District. The pilot storefront, previously Uniform City, is being transformed into Le Mondo Theatre which includes a performance space, green rooms, a bar, set building workshops, and rentable studios. The adjacent buildings are being stabilized to prepare for upcoming renovations to add the second theatre, live-work artist studios, and coffee shop.
