John Houser III reviews Field House in Canton, the former home of Ray Lewis' Barbecue and Spike Gjerde's Atlantic. Field House is a great place to watch sports on TV, but can you get something good to eat while you're doing that? Here's that review .

Of Love & Regret - Pub & Provisions, the collaboration between Brian Strumke of Stillwater Ales and Ted Stelzenmuller of Jack's Bistro, is set to open on Wednesday. The pub's doors will open at 11 a.m. on Wednesday for lunch and a line-up of 20 "esoteric beers" on draft, more than half of them Stillwater Ales. The "provisions" part of Pub & Provisions, a second-floor shop selling gourmet products, many of them Stillwater-designed and branded, along with beer, wine and liquor, will open later this year.

When a fire broke out at a Canton warehouse April 22 and firefighters confirmed there were dangerous chemicals inside the building, it spawned some basic questions for reporters. What sorts of chemicals were present, and what risks do they pose? Did they cause any harm to people, animals or the environment? Officials with the fire department and Maryland Department of the Environment were forthcoming, explaining that powerful acids were stored in the warehouse for use in anodizing metals.

BangBang Mongolian Grill opens officially on Wednesday in the Can Company space that formerly housed the Austin Grill. Based in West Des Moines, Iowa, BangBang announced its expansion into the Baltimore area last July. The Canton location is the first to open on the East Coast. Another location is set to open at the Hilltop Plaza on Annapolis Road in Bowie sometime in late February or early March 2012. Promoting a "design-your-own-meal" concept, Bang Bang lets customers select from a list of proteins and vegetables, season their dish to taste and watch it as their meal is seared on Bang Bang's signature circular grill.

In response to Lila Johnson's recent letter concerning the future of the "grand dame" row houses of the city ("A newcomer's search for a place to call home," Dec. 4), it is wonderful to hear someone from another state appreciate the beauty of Baltimore. I would also love to see the old houses on Harford Road, Biddle Street and East North Avenue renovated. I think the best way to have this happen is to start with the renovation of a row home in a neighborhood such as Canton, Fells Point or Butcher's Hill.

Getting There reader Jeff Hossfeld touched off a mini-furor recently when he reported a parking practice that appears to be prevalent in the otherwise civilized enclave of Canton. Once posted to the Getting There blog, the report attracted a volley of comments, pro and con, from readers. I'll let Hossfeld describe the deed that provokes such controversy: Many folks in Canton that own two cars are taking to the habit of driving one car out of a parking spot, and then slightly moving their other car to a position in such a way that it reserves two spots until the first car comes back.

CANTON IS no longer strictly a location; it is a state of mind. Last year, a new Italian restaurant, Soprano's, took over Winterling's space after that 77-year-old Highlandtown standby went out of business. There was no change in address. But Soprano's wanted an upscale location. It announced it was in Canton. Is Patterson Park next? Will it junk the name that honors a merchant prince and Revolutionary War blockade runner and become Canton Gardens? "No way," promises community activist Ed Rutkowski.

Tavern on the Square has opened in the Canton. It's in the old Fins space. Mel Carter, the general manager and part owner of Blue Hill Tavern , also in Canton, purchased Fins last September and, for a few months, kept things as they were. Right after the new year, Carter says, he closed the property for one week. Fins reopened on Monday with a cosmetic makeover, a new menu and new name. The new interior, Carter says, is decorated with black wood furniture and trim and vintage black-and-white photography of old Baltimore.  Carter describes the menu at Tavern on the Square as "contemporary American bar fare with a focus on game oriented dishes.

A new restaurant named Delmarva's Southern Cafe will open this spring in Canton's Harbor Enterprise Center, also known as the Broom Factory. Delmarva's is scheduled to open sometime this summer, according to David Levitt, a partner in the new business. Levitt, a food-indusry veteran, is also a partner in a Leesburg, Va. restaurant named Tenderjacks. Delmarva's will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, Levitt said, and will operate as a fast-casual restaurant, the kind where you order at a counter but the food is brought to your table.

Dispatched to a one-story brick warehouse in flames on Baylis Street in Canton last month, firefighters did not know it contained 8,000 gallons of corrosive chemicals. But not because it wasn't known to the Baltimore City Fire Department. Its hazardous materials permit database included the warehouse and chemicals, but is so arcane that it's impossible to point and click through it using a computer mouse. The chemicals also were disclosed by the owner on an annual hazmat form required under a federal law inspired when a chemical gas leak killed 5,000 people in India in 1984.

When Jake Smith first saw former wrestler Jerome Featherstone Jr. working out six months ago at the Baltimore Boxing Club, the veteran trainer and promoter spotted his talent immediately. "The way he trained was unbelievable," Smith said. "I saw him and I was like, 'Holy hell, this kid's got something.'" The two began working together, and three months ago Featherstone won his debut amateur fight. In his second bout, on the March 23 "Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh" card at Michael's Eighth Avenue in Glen Burnie, the Boys' Latin alumnus won the East Coast Championship middleweight belt, nearly scoring a third-round knockout.

The Della Rose's Tavern at Canton Crossing has closed. Its last night was last Friday. The closing announcement was made on the tavern's Facebook page. Written by Tony DellaRose, it's one of the best closing notices I've seen, absent of self-pity, just honest. And funny. DellaRose told me that he wrote the notice the same night he broke the news to his staff. "It was from the heart," he said. The Della Rose's on The Avenue in White Marsh remains open. "I'm looking at things from this day forward, DellaRose said.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's administration agreed to pay $400,000 Wednesday toward building a brick walkway in Canton, a project intended to close a gap in the promenade along Baltimore's harbor. The walkway in front of The Moorings, a neighborhood of million-dollar townhouses off Boston Street, has been a source of contention between the city and the site's developer. The developer built a floating walkway instead of the brick sidewalk the city is constructing along the rest of the waterfront.

A boat sank in the Inner Harbor just before 5 p.m. Saturday, fire officials said. The incident happened off the 2700 block of Boston St.and was over in under a half hour, said Chief Kevin Cartwright, a fire department spokesman. No one aboard was harmed. A 911 call that came around 4:50 p.m. reported a sinking boat near the Bo Brooks Restaurant & Catering, Cartwright said. A rescue boat, a fire engine and a medic were dispatched to the scene. But by the time the rescue arrived, one of Baltimore city's trash collection vessels had removed the people aboard the sinking boat and taken them to shore, Cartwright said.

The Baltimore City Fire Department battled a three-alarm fire at a warehouse at 1200 Baylis St. in the Canton area late into the night Sunday, bringing it under control around midnight. Capt. Roman Clark, a department spokesman, said about 60 residents in the block were evacuated. No homes were involved in the fire, but heavy smoke and the fire's proximity to residences spurred the evacuation, said Chief Kevin Cartwright. An MTA bus was called to shelter residents. Power was also out in the immediate area.

With a Canton warehouse fire reduced to a smolder by Monday morning, attention shifted to ensuring that surrounding homes and the harbor's waters are protected from caustic chemicals inside the facility. State and federal environmental officials were on the site alongside firefighters into Monday evening, monitoring water streaming from the one-story brick structure into storm drains. The warehouse contains nearly 8,000 gallons of corrosive chemicals, according to the Maryland Department of the Environment.
