This stop in the Baltimore Market Series brings Rev and I to Broadway Market in the heart of Fells Point, one of the city’s oldest public markets with a vibrant present and a bold future.

In this episode, Rev and I sit down with key voices from the Baltimore Public Markets Corporation who are helping to shape what these markets mean today. Brooke Bachman, Leasing Manager, shares how vendors are selected and supported and what goes into curating a dynamic market experience. Jackie Sims, Director of HR, talks about the culture behind the scenes and the people who make the markets run every day. Charisse Nichols, Director of Storytelling and Content, offers a powerful look at how narrative, memory, and identity are preserved and why storytelling is central to market revitalization.

We also hear from Victoria Powers, owner of Vikki’s Fells Point Deli, a beloved staple of Broadway Market. With passion and purpose, she reflects on her journey as a small business owner, the community she serves, and what it means to be part of a living, breathing institution.

This episode is filled with energy, insight, and pride. It is about entrepreneurship, legacy, and the people who make Broadway Market more than just a place to eat. It is a community in motion.

Tune in as we unpack what it takes to keep a historic market current and rooted at the same time.
