City of Baltimore: "Travel to Charm City" Rally Baseball Bat Unveiled, says CTMB-1.3
May 13, 2026 - The "Charm'tastic Mile" of Baltimore (CTMB-1.3)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecharmtasticmile.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.thecharmtasticmile.com</a>. The chic &amp; famed 1.3 mile corridor located in the heart of&nbsp;Charm City (Est.1975)&nbsp;that connects&nbsp;Dwtn-West, the Inner Harbor &amp; Harbor East (S. Greene &amp; W. Pratt Street to S. President &amp; Fleet Street)&nbsp;that is now listed on Google search as one of the&nbsp;Top 10-15 Most Famous Streets in America&nbsp;is unveiling its "Travel to Charm City" Rally Baseball Bat.&nbsp;
Last-week May 3-9 was National Travel &amp; Tourism Week. We're just 12-days from Memorial Day on May 25th. Memorial Day marks the beginning of Summer. The official start of Summer is June 21st.&nbsp;
To add a little pop like the sound of a baseball off an Orioles player's bat, The "Charm'tastic Mile" in association with Rawlings created the "Travel to Charm City" Rally Baseball Bat to promote Summer baseball at The Yard and tourists traveling to Baltimore. The Rally Bat(s) will be seen downtown at hotels and restaurants along "The Mile" during the Summer Season.&nbsp;
Entrance to Oriole Park at Camden Yards is just steps away from The "Charm'tastic Mile" in the Dwtn-West section of the Iconic 1.3 mile stretch-corridor. This past April 25th was the official&nbsp;10th Anniversary (2016-26)&nbsp;of&nbsp;The "Charm'tastic Mile"&nbsp;being introduced to the City of Baltimore.&nbsp;
The&nbsp;"Charm'tastic Mile"&nbsp;(4-25-2016)&nbsp;shares the same-day of introduction as the majestic Domino Sugars neon sign&nbsp;(4-25-1951). April 25th marked the&nbsp;75th Anniversary (1951-2026)&nbsp;of the Domino Sugars neon sign, an amazing&nbsp;landmark to the fabric of the city.&nbsp; &nbsp;
It's Preakness&nbsp; Week '26, the 151st running that will be held at Laurel Park this coming Saturday due to the construction of the New Pimlico.&nbsp; The "Charm'tastic Mile" remains the only USPTO&nbsp;<a href="https://www.uspto.gov/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.uspto.gov</a>&nbsp;(R) registered trademark in the State of Maryland.&nbsp;

The Collective Encore

Join us for the return of piano wielding front man Josh Christina and his 6 piece band for Josh Christina and the Revivals present “A Tribute to the Piano Men: Jerry Lee, Elton, Joel &amp; More…”. This high-octane show spans iconic piano rock n roll artists like Jerry Lee Lewis, Elton John, Ray Charles, and Billy Joel and more, appealing to audiences of all ages.&nbsp;
Every artist has their influences, but Josh Christina is one of the few who can say he’s won a seal of approval from the peers of his heroes. Christina is living proof that while heroes are remembered, legends never die. Quite literally the last of a dying breed, the piano rock phenomenon is carrying the torch passed down by the genre’s founding fathers; the legacy left behind by pioneers Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley.
Described as “the future of rock n roll” by Chuck Berry’s former pianist and bandleader Daryl Davis, Josh fuses classic influences with a distinct performance style that’s both nostalgic and fresh. From his debut on Ireland’s “Late Late Show” to hundreds of performances each year, he continues to captivate audiences nationwide and beyond. The show has been selling out theaters across the Mid-Atlantic, and Josh has taken it to the high seas, headlining on Celebrity and Viking Cruises to rave reviews.
Josh’s world-class piano chops, powerful vocals, along with top-tier musicians and vocalists, The Revivals deliver a powerhouse live experience.
