Little Crystal Bijoux: Creative. By Design.

2019-09-23T15:38:54-04:00

Little Crystal Bijoux is an unexpected shop in Dundalk for some, but for owner Laura Quintana it was a no brainer.  The store sells handmade jewelry, art, soaps, and body lotions.  Ms. Quintana has been a professional artist since she was 17 years old.  She sells prints of her color pencils, pen, and paint artwork in her shop, but has learned to enjoy the creative process of jewelry making.  “People like their accessories to be artsy.  This is where I come in as an artist.” Ms. Quintana finds making a living as an artist without having work commissioned tricky.   “Finding a [...]

Historic Dundalk Town Center Has a Sweet Side

2019-09-23T15:45:48-04:00

What started as a kitchen table business grew into a brick and mortar store in historic Dundalk’s Town Center for Anthony Makres.  After two years selling taffy, fudge, and jerky at local craft fairs and events, the demand was growing. Makres didn’t have the space to fill orders from his home.  “I couldn’t do it from home anymore.  I decided I needed a small store,” Makres said.  “I am excited to have my own business.” A week before Christmas Makres was able to open his own store: Dude's Snack Attack And More.   At first there were only three shelves, [...]

Another Renovation From Partner Charm City Builders

2019-06-04T17:28:27-04:00

Charm City Builders has been one of our Market Boost renovation partners since 2014. They recently completed another renovation, 109 Ventnor Terrace, that quickly went under contract. The 3 Bedroom, 2 bath home is located on a great block in the St. Helena neighborhood, one of our Focus Neighborhoods for investment. It is just steps from shops in the Historic Dundalk Town Center, a major bus line, and just a few blocks from the brand-new Dundalk Elementary (opening this Fall) and a dog park located in St. Helena Park. Is it any wonder that a renovated home in this location [...]

2019-06-04T14:15:20-04:00

The people-- and the facade-- at Dundalk Cosmetic and Family Dental Center at 5 Shipping Place are all smiles. Our local dental office, long a fixture in the Historic Dundalk Town Center, is one of 10 Commercial Improvement Grant projects completed by Dundalk Renaissance in our Historic Dundalk Town Center since 2017. The grants are funded by the State of Maryland Baltimore Regional Neighborhood Initiative. Yes, the new bright awning, door decal and lighter window tinting are all part of this façade upgrade, but there was so much reward beyond the front door – meeting and working with (the wonderful) [...]
