Right now for free during (the month of December) and every year previous for the past 27 years from 5pm to 10pm, (minus the two years of the pandemic) Jim Pollock, of the famous Hubcap Tree Art House on “Miracle Street” on West 34th Street in Hamden Baltimore Maryland, has been kind enough to open his house to the public to visit, view, and/or buy his art. The infamous hubcap tree can be viewed from the w34th street block, shimmers in the night against the illuminated lights of the holiday block. Selling His Natty Boh angels and other art pieces from his home every year Jim has really made an impression on Baltimore. Jim has been opening his opening his home so long that people who once came to visit as children are now coming to visit with their children… certainly a memory and experience to be cherished. A real piece of Baltimore history, especially around the holidays. See this article about Jim in Baltimore Magazine or this one in the Baltimore Sun.
A few years ago unfortunately his health has taken a turn to problematic, having to battle a diabetics diagnosis as one of the problems. It had come to the point that this year he would not have been able to open to the public if he had to by himself. Luckily a few friends, Tarryn Torn (www.ttorn.xyz) and Robert Lawson volunteered to help him set up and run the event this month so he is once again open to the public. Read about that here in the Baltimore banner.
No longer able to work as he used to now he is beginning to struggle.
