Baltimore native Lauren Preller's new gallery, fotopopART, is a perfect fit for the contemporary art scene in Hampden. Preller displays and sells artwork created by a unique process. She starts with her original photography and then digitally manipulates layers of photos to be created for print on linens and canvases. While about half the pieces in her gallery are created by artists from all over the United States, Preller is the mastermind behind these pieces she calls "ultra chrome ink on canvas."

One of the largest buildings in Baltimore's Hampden neighborhood will soon play a large role in its revitalization. Hampden Hall, a former veterans' meeting hall that looms above the shops at the southeast corner of 36th Street and Roland Avenue, will be converted to 14 loft-style apartments by mid-2006. Baltimore businessmen Joe Preller and Bob Geis bought the building last year and plan to create two-level apartments that they will rent for $750 to $1,100 per month. Both say they already own "high-end" rental apartments in Hampden and believe there is a strong demand for more.
