History
Developed in the 1800's, this neighborhood originally housed workers of local mills in the area. For many years the Hampden strip known as “The Avenue,” 36th Street between Chestnut Avenue and Falls Road, suffered from vacant spaces and deteriorating storefronts. However, the neighborhood experienced a revitalization in the early 1990’s and through recent redevelopment efforts and the will of its residents and local entrepreneurs, the neighborhood has transformed into an eclectic mix of old meets new and puts the “charm” in Charm City.
Things to Do
Clipper Mill/Hampden is home to many shops and restaurants. Neighborhood staple Golden West Cafe, known for its kitschy decor reflective of the Hampden neighborhood, features a reasonably priced menu that caters to both meat lovers and vegans alike. Relative newcomers like Basque-inspired La Cuchara and Cosima’s Sicilian cuisine may stretch your wallet, but they’ll leave your palate tantalized and satisfied.
Recent renovations to The Rotunda include a MOM's Organic Market, CinéBistro, Starbucks, and the occasional food truck gathering, such as Trucktoberfest.
There’s lots to do in Clipper Mill/Hampden.
