There were quite a few attractions drawing visitors to the Inner Harbor today, including the opening of the temporary boardwalk extension, the opening and the naming of a new eatery (Clinton's Dish) along with picnic tables, the unveiling of a passive beach, the delivery of numerous colorfully painted 'sunset chairs', activities with Explore and More Children's Museum, a children's puppet theatre by Franklin Lavoie, tours on the tall ship Pride of Baltimore and all of the rest of Buffalo Place programming that people have come to expect. It was amazing to see the large number of people enjoying the activities. Over the next few days there will be even more to see and do on the waterfront including:

Wow, sounds like some movement down there. Where can I file the lawsuit?
Yes, we've got some things (finally) going on down there BECAUSE of the threat of a lawsuit.
It's a shame, but sometimes citizens have to sue government to get something done the right way.
Judging by your -4 out of 6 votes I would catagorize that as a false statement. Lawsuits are the reason why nothing down here is done yet. Oh wait, my bad, we have an ice cream shake built out of wood from a barn in Akron (whoooopie!). You notice a couple old people lounging in chairs, some kids playing in the sand, but no one is spending any substantial money (2.25 hot dog is not considered substantial). We need large attractions/retail. A movie theater (indoor/outdoor) restaurants (dinosaur bbq), and some retail (good luck the mall pretty much has it all). Ps good looks on the beach though I never thought about putting one in.
Yes, nothing says waterfront activities like a movie theater!
