Alex. Brown, the presenting sponsor of OpSail Baltimore 2000, has
launched a "Red Carpet Campaign" to put Baltimore's best
foot forward during the festivities, June 23-29th. The firm is planting
red flowers throughout Baltimore's Inner Harbor and the central
business district to create a highly visible, welcoming environment
for visitors from across the state, the country, and the world.
The Red Carpet
Campaign, a gift to Baltimore in honor of the 200th anniversary
of the founding of Alexander Brown's firm, consists of multiple
red flower beds, a new public garden south of the Light Street Pavilion,
150 new sidewalk planters, and 88 hanging red flower baskets in
Baltimore's Inner Harbor and central business district. The color
red was chosen for the project to reflect the historic red Alex.
