Medfield Fall Fair

The Medfield Community Association will hold its annual Fall Fair and Flea Market this upcoming October.

If you would like to reserve a flea market space, please call Paul Smith at 410-467-3527. This is the only fund-raising event the Association has and it is a great day for you and your neighbors to stop by, have some fun, and help support the Association. 

The Fair will offer hot dogs, sodas, snowballs, a 50-50 raffle and lots of flea market bargains. A Goodwill truck will be there at the end of the day for your donations and any leftovers from the flea market that vendors want to contribute. 

Reserve your space early!

Proposed Corner Liquor Store

Applicant Red Fish Enterprise, LLC request approval for transfer of ownership and location of a Class “A” Beer, Wine, & Liquor License from 102-104 Metro Plaza, Mondawmin, to 4001 Falls Rd.

After a unanimous vote by both its Board of Directors on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 and General Membership meeting on Monday May 4, 2009, the Medfield Community Association (MCA), formally opposes/protests the issuance of the transfer of location, of a Class “A” Beer, Wine & Liquor License to 4001 Falls Road, Baltimore, MD 21211.

It was agreed by all regular Medfield Association members, Medfield has issues having ANOTHER liquor store, specifically at 4001 Falls Road, on the Medfield-Hampden corridor. For years this area has been plagued with traffic flow problems associated with a grade “F” intersection and with a higher than normal occurrence of loitering, drugs and/or prostitution.

Hampden residents have already voiced concern with issues they believe will be exacerbated by the opening of another liquor store including parking, traffic flow, and the impact that a liquor store may have on the already high occurrences of drugs, loitering, and prostitution near and around the proposed site. Please attend and voice your objection or support for this impending

View Hampden's Opposition Letter

The Hampden Community Council, citing concerns about the number of liquor stores already in the neighborhood, voted Feb. 23 to oppose the transfer of a liquor license to two applicants who want to open a wine and cheese store at 4001 Falls Road.

You Can Help Prevent Auto Theft

Steering wheel locks are difficult to defeat and provide a strong visual deterrent to alert potential thieves that your car is protected. The Medfield Community Association is working with the manufacturer of name brand steering wheel locks to offer the locks at a substantial discount as part of our yearly membership drive. The steering wheel locks will be offered as part of Medfield membership drive for Medfield Community Association members.

Two models are being offered…one that fits most cars, and one that fits most cars, trucks, and SUVs. The locks are priced at $15 each, a savings of approximately 50% off the retail price. Auto-theft has remained a persistent and challenging problem in Baltimore. Citizens should seriously consider taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase this easy to use and sensible deterrent.
