The late Adele Plitt wouldn't have liked what's become of her old neighborhood. Standing on her South Baltimore steps, she would have clucked at the soaring prices for formstone rowhouses like hers, shaken her head at the luxury SUVs clogging the streets and bemoaned the loss of working folk. A night watchman who used to rent Mrs. Plitt's house on Riverside Avenue eventually moved out of the neighborhood - he couldn't afford it. The pressures of gentrification and the hot housing market are affecting an increasingly diverse number of Baltimore neighborhoods.
