Radar Redux.com is expanding the traditional concept of journalism, to cover a wide array of Baltimore Arts and Culture.
Although the Baltimore Free Store’s concept seems most directly influenced by the recent Green Movement, the original conception of a “free store” originates from a nineteen sixties political improv group, “The Diggers,” who sought to confront notions of private property and capitalism in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Their group offered not only random stuff but also food, health care and temporary shelter. The affiliated footage documents a recent Free Store fundraiser consisting of a silent auction, homemade food, a short film viewing of “The Story of Stuff” and live music including local artist MacGregor Burns.
