The Arabber Community of Baltimore - Endangered Maryland (sitios de interés)

Listed in 2010, the Arabbers, horse-cart vendors who are famous for their distinctive wagons and harnesses, are part of a folk tradition unique to Baltimore. Baltimore is one of the last cities to have horse-cart vendors. The Arabber population is in decline and faces a wide variety of complex issues from the cost of humanely caring for their horses, to the cost of their wares and limits on the places and hours Arabbers are allowed to work. UPDATE: Two stables and the Arabber Center remain, with four to six Arabbers working with ponies and more with trucks.
