Explore Baltimore: Celebrated Summer Records
April 17th, 2026 by Allison Shulman
This week on Explore Baltimore, we visited Celebrated Summer Records, a record shop located in Hampden that has been part of the Baltimore music community for 20 years. The store has been open in its current Hampden location on Falls Road for 16 years, but was previously located in Towson.
Owner Tony previously worked at Reptilian Records, and when it closed, he was inspired to open his own shop and continue to share his love of music. The store is named after the song Celebrated Summer, reflecting that same personal connection to music’s influence. Celebrated Summer Records is meant to be a no-judgement space where customers can explore music freely without feeling pressured or intimidated. The shop has something for everyone, with jazz, indie, local artists and much more. Read the rest of this entry »

Review:
Review: This self-titled, 8-track album by campthehills is honestly such an incredible release. The artist has only really surfaced within the past year and has already been putting out so much great music. A lot of newer artists take time to find their sound, but campthehills already feels like they’ve built a real identity and style for themselves. Read the rest of this entry »

Explore Baltimore: Milagro
April 10th, 2026 by Allison Shulman
This week, we visited Milagro, a Hampden boutique that has been part of the community for 22 years. The shop is a global boutique, carrying goods inspired by pieces all around the world. Milagro focuses on supporting small artist collectives and women creators.
The inspiration behind Milagro came from the owner’s travels, especially places like Mexico and Japan. That influence is reflected throughout the store today. From screen-printed clothing to jewelry, and even the furniture, nearly everything in the shop is made by hand.
We spoke with Nikki, a Loyola alum and key member of the Milagro team, whose energy immediately stood out. She shared that working in Hampden feels especially meaningful to her, since her family has roots in the neighborhood. Being part of the shop allows her to stay connected to that history while also watching how the area has grown over time and become more diverse. Read the rest of this entry »
