The Lower Susquehanna Heritage Greenway is a non-profit organization that hopes to secure federal and state funding for crisscrossing trails that would link the area’s natural, cultural and historic resources.

This is a project that has the support of The Baltimore Psychogeography Association! It’s development where you can go out and walk around, have fun and not have to spend money. As much as I like to walk around The Inner Harbor, I feel compelled to shell out on crap food or tourist knick-knacks that I don’t want to buy. Psychogeography, among other things, is about walking around without the necessity to spend money. Why does everything have to be a mall? Don’t get me started on malls! Not that we’re against small business or that we’re anti-capitalist. We’re not. What’s a lot better than malls are all the cool indoor markets in Baltimore, like Lexington Market. It’s just that development always seems predicated on buying something. Does that always have to be the case? Psychogeography advocates that development should make the environment more fun! That reminds me- does anyone know of any good local skateboarding parks?

“Right here, in the middle of a densely populated area, you can still be outdoors enjoying nature within minutes,” said Mary Ann Lisanti, executive director of the greenway group. “Ten minutes off I-95 and 15 minutes from Bel Air, you can go fishing, walk through history into deep woods and see the spring flowers and nesting birds.”

We need more walking trails like this. Here’s the link to the story in the Baltimore Sun where I found out about The Lower Susquehanna Heritage Greenway group.
