Reptile House in Druid Hill Park

On August 5, 1948, Mayor Thomas D’Alessandro and other Baltimore City dignitaries came by motorcade to Druid Hill Park for the official opening of the Baltimore Zoo’s new Reptile House. They entered an oval room with a shallow, tile-lined pool at its center where small alligators and turtles swam. Set into the walls of the room were brightly lit tanks containing an eye-popping array of local and exotic snakes, lizards, and amphibians. Artists employed by the City’s Bureau of Parks had painted woodland, desert, or swamp scenes inside each tank to mimic the natural habitats of the occupants.

On this episode of Maryland Unfolded, we learn about the history of Indigenous people in the land now known as Maryland, from the time before British settlers arrived through the first centuries of colonization. Host Dr. Ashley Minner Jones is joined by living historian Drew Shuptar-Rayvis (Pekatawas MakataweU “Black Corn”) to discuss how Native people shaped the region and how Maryland’s contemporary Indigenous communities are working to preserve their histories, languages, cultures, and traditions today.

There's a new movie theater in Southwest D.C. screening films you wouldn't normally find on the big screen. Why it matters: It's the Southwest neighborhood's only dedicated cinema outside of the IMAX at the Air and Space Museum, and comes as several beloved indie cinemas in D.C. have closed in recent years, like the Uptown Theater and E Street Cinema . State of play: 4EYE Film Center launched last month in the new Revada Arts Center , which also houses theater and opera groups. The nonprofit screens its films in the space's 58-seat cinema, but there's also a 140-seat black box theater and a cafe in the Revada building. (And, yes, you can bring your wine into the movie with you.) What they're saying: "We won't be doing Marvel," says 4Eye founder Emily Lenzner, who once worked in Hollywood and at the Motion Picture Association, and who previously led an effort to revive the Uptown Theater. Instead, 4Eye will screen films by indie and local filmmakers, documentaries, international films and the classics. Lenzner says movie-goers are looking for more of an experience from their theaters now, and so she plans to host Q&As and panels tied to the featured films,
