Baltimore should be seen as a port, not a peninsula

The article, “Baltimore’s neighborhoods revealed their emerging progress during 2022” (Dec. 31), is a heartwarming review by Jacques Kelly of connecting the past to the present. One of the new commercial villages emerging in South Baltimore has been renamed from Port Covington to Baltimore Peninsula.

Baltimore is a major port on the East Coast. Ports are thriving enterprises, havens where ships load and unload, and take refuge from storms. Peninsulas are surrounded by water and connected to land on one side.

Port Covington was a better name connecting the past to the present.
