In the 1930s and 1940s, Baltimore had a rich, flourishing jazz scene. Today, live jazz and devoted jazz clubs are scarce. But the owners of a new club located in a threadbare West Baltimore commercial district are hoping to help rekindle the city's once-dynamic jazz legacy. "We think Baltimore can be a major city for jazz," said Errez Segman, co-owner of the forthcoming venue, Back Alley Jazz. "We want our club to be a household name for live jazz and fine dining, and we think Baltimore's the right city for that."

T he Load of Fun graffiti alley isn't visible from the intersection of North Avenue and Howard Street, which is gray and beige and blighted and grim. Nearby is a nondescript motel and a check-cashing service with a barred entrance. But when visitors walk north on Howard Street and turn onto the quirkily named 19 1/2 Street, suddenly, there the alley is. People abruptly stop walking and even lean back slightly. They draw in their chins and swallow their breaths. It's almost like stepping into an ancient walled European city or an outdoor urban cathedral.

The problem: An alley in Northeast Baltimore lacks streetlights. The back story: Alverta Furman and her daughter, Mary, have been calling Watchdog for months about the lack of streetlights in the alley behind their home in the 5300 block of Catalpha Road, in the Harford-Echodale-Perring Parkway community. Without the lights, they say, they have been the victims of property crimes such as theft. Alverta Furman said her car's license plates were stolen in November, and someone also took her copper gutters.

Sitting on the back porch of his Southwest Baltimore home Sunday night, Richard Tarbert heard the loud gunshots — 10 of them, he counted. His instincts told him to run toward them. That's because his 15-year-old son, Anthony, had been out with friends and hadn't yet come home. When Tarbert rounded the corner, he found one of his son's friends lying in the street suffering from gunshot wounds. But where was Anthony? After six hours of searching, Tarbert noticed familiar white Nike sneakers in a neighbor's backyard.

Someone once said, "You're nobody in Laurel until they name an alley after you. " A short chuckle, and that thought was quickly dismissed. But jaunts around Old Town have stirred a deeper interest in their existence. Most of these small streets exist between Main Street and Laurel Avenue. The vast majority of these named and unnamed roads run east to west. Those that have no name have been assigned numbers by the city, and are part and parcel of adjoining properties. The longest of these paths runs from Route 1 to Fifth Street, parallel to Montgomery Street.

Kinera Royster wants to be known more for her talents than her appearance. "There is more to me than being a man who wears heels and a wig," she said as she sifted through a clothing rack containing 11 garments she designed. Royster, a self-taught designer, showcased her collection of clothes Thursday night at Red Maple in Fashion Alley, an event that featured gay, lesbian, transgender and gay-friendly models and designers. The first ever event in Baltimore served as a kick-off to this weekend's annual Gay Pride celebration.
