Remnants of the former retail glory of a section of downtown Baltimore are still visible amid the decay that has marred the area for decades. The west-side area, dubbed the "superblock" by city planners, is poised for redevelopment. Plans include apartment towers and a mix of current small retail merchants with new chain stores. The chunk of downtown real estate is bounded by West Fayette, Howard, Lexington and Liberty streets.

THE PROBLEM -- Cars parked illegally along Fayette Street in front of city police headquarters. THE BACKSTORY -- Even the city's most prolific and daring scofflaws would probably think twice about parking in a clearly marked no-parking zone in front of a police station. Try doing it in front of the Bishop L. Robinson Sr. Police Administration Building at 601 E. Fayette St. Most people would expect a ticket. Or worse. But one recent day, not just one person but several people decided that it was OK to park in front of the police headquarters.

WHEN AHMAD Kabiryousefi learned he had to move his Burger King restaurant from Charles and Fayette streets in Baltimore, he thought he found an ideal replacement location less than a block away.A six-story building at 8-12 E. Fayette St. offered nearly as much room for a restaurant as his current location in the base of the One Charles Center office tower.It was highly visible.And because it was close to his location, the restaurant owner wasn't afraid of losing customers as a result of the move.

Who's Who in America" lists 18 O'Malleys, none of them from Baltimore. Eight are in law, five in science or medicine. Surely the editors will want to include the first to be named Martin, the first to be in mayoring.History, to be sure, has its O'Malleys. Tops, perhaps, would be Grace O'Malley, the pirate. In the 1500s, she "plundered British merchant ships off the stormy Connemara coast," her husband helping; later she met Queen Elizabeth I "as equals." The church has its O'Malleys: Father O'Malley in the films "Going My Way" and "The Bells of St. Mary's.

The mayor kept a brisk pace, but she didn't miss the eyesore - a mattress abandoned in an alley off Fayette Street. "Hey, Steve, did you get it?" Sheila Dixon said to the man behind her, turning her head but not breaking her stride. Steve smiled and wrote it down, and I have no doubt that someone called someone in public works and the mattress will soon be gone, if it's not already. Same with the brick flower container at the vacant house on Curley Street that had become a receptacle for broken beer bottles and used drug needles.

THE PROBLEM: A traffic signal at a development stops drivers even when construction has stopped. THE BACKSTORY: Steve Rand does his part. The Rosedale resident drives a hybrid car to and from his job at University of Maryland Medical Center. And he works a night shift, so he's commuting at off-peak hours. But it still bugs him to be idling his vehicle at a traffic signal on U.S. 40 at 62nd Street, when there are several other signals in that stretch that regulate drivers on busier roads.
