ZipCar has added two more vehicles in the neighborhood to meet the increased demand for “wheels when you want them.” One of the vehicles is a pick-up truck, handy for those errands requiring hauling.
The vehicles are located on the south side of Ostend Street near the intersection of Light Street, directly across the street from the Charm City Circulator stop.

Kids’ Kross Street (previously Little One’s Lane) will make its debut at this year’s Jazz&Blues Wine&Art Festival on June 5. The area has a broader focus designed to make the area attractive to older children, while still making the little ones happy.
The popular moon bounces, face painting and toddler play area will still be there, but new activities will be added to satisfy the older children. “We’ve created a ‘tween’ area with bag toss and ladder ball games, and we want to add craft stations and other entertainment,” explained Wendy Simmons, parent volunteer.
Following a contest at last September’s Street Beat Festival, Kids’ Kross Street was selected as the new name. The winning entry was submitted by Federal Hill South resident Deniene Davis and daughter Grace.
Check out Kids’ Kross Street at Jazz&Blues Wine&Art Festival on Sunday, June 5!
The festival has something for everyone- Live music all day, arts&crafts, food&drink, an expanded Wine&Art Alley and great fun!
