Vanishing Ocean City With Bunk Mann – April 25, 2019

In the years up to and including the 1960s, Baltimore Avenue was a mostly residential area lined with homes and boarding houses such as the Gables, pictured.

This changed in the 1990s when lack of adequate parking became a serious issue in the downtown section of Ocean City. Boardwalk hotel owners began buying these properties and razing the buildings to create parking lots for their hotel patrons.

Only a handful of these early 20^th century structures remain today.
