The Peale's storytelling program launched in the summer of 2016, in conjunction with the MuseWeb Foundation. The storytelling program is a new way to discover the people and places of the city, as told by the residents of Baltimore. To date, we have shared more than 1,500 stories online, through live events at the Peale, and in Baltimore’s communities.
In this story response, Maurice Spencer of Baltimore talks with a Peale staffer about a mural painted by Baltimore street artist Adam Stab, located near the intersection of St. Francis Street and Whitelock Street in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: All right. Go ahead. You were saying.
Speaker 2: Okay, what I get out of that is a sense of calmness. It definitely takes out the rowdiness and the unsafeness that's in the community nowadays. It shows that things can be as peaceful as it looks on that picture. You know what I mean? And if people stop and take time to look at things and really get out of it, what it's expressing, they would understand that everything will be all right a little bit later on their life, but they got to make a change in order for that to happen.
Speaker 1: I hear you.
Speaker 2: Yup.
Speaker 1: I hear you.
Speaker 2: Okay.
