Baltimore Bike Share installed a 12 dock bike station on Fawn Street in Little Italy between Albemarle & President Streets. Bike Share is public transportation offered by The City of Baltimore which promotes "grab a bike, go for a ride, give it back." Users pay for Bike Share monthly or per trip. The placement of the station did not meet with positive comments on facebook among some Little Italy residents and business owners who were unaware the city was installing the station.

The ravioli and meatballs served at Saint Leo's Ravioli Dinners are never store-bought -
mamma mia, no!
They are handmade by dozens of volunteers. Ready to join a session? It's fun, lively, and unlike anything you have done! (Unless, of course, you once made ravioli with your
nonna
in her kitchen.) A complimentary pasta lunch is served afterwards. So, bring an apron, bring the family, and bring a ravioli tool if you have one. (NOTE to everyone: please cover your hair.)
Just show up ... downstairs
Saint Leo's School Hall on Stiles Street (to the right of bocce courts). Free parking at Stratford University lot between Central Avenue & Stiles Street.

"Ciao Neighbors, I just wanted to say thank you so so so much to everyone who had a hand in making our 2nd Annual Little Italy MeatballFest a huge success. We raised thousands for
Pandola Learning Center
[in Little Italy] and more importantly, we had a tremendous turnout into the neighborhood. We offered over 20 door prizes - because of you. We were also very fortunate to have a few generous event sponsors. Thank you to everyone again for all of your support and contributions to this year's event. We're already looking ahead to next year with hopes of making MeatballFest bigger and better; and to include even more neighborly involvement and support. Please feel free to reach out to me directly with any ideas."
All the best, Joe Benny
