Before she was deported from the United States in 1919, labor organizer and anarchist leader Emma Goldman was considered one of the most magnetic speakers of her time, drawing huge crowds whenever she lectured.
A century later, community leaders in central Baltimore are hoping that the bookstore and coffeehouse that bears her name will draw crowds to the Waverly Main Street renewal district and the Greenmount Avenue corridor.
After more than three years in Mount Vernon, the worker-owned cooperative that runs Red Emmaâs Bookstore Coffeehouse has announced plans to leave its current location on Cathedral Street.
The co-opâs new home will be two buildings in Waverly â a former meeting hall and nightspot at 415 East 32nd Street and a former cocktail lounge at 3128 Greenmount Avenue.

WORTHINGTON Growing up on a farm southwest of Worthington, Dan Krueger knew he wanted to work outside, but he also knew he needed a career that involved more than raising corn and soybeans. His dream was to create outdoor living spaces that were as inviting as the interior of people’s homes.
The 2006 graduate of Worthington High School earned his bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture from SDSU, and the decision to return to his hometown was an easy one since he’d already established a business here during his summers off from college.
