BALTIMORE — When he bikes around Baltimore’s Inner Harbor or walks the promenade with his infant daughter, Ermias Abbai wonders about the emptiness at Harborplace and often imagines what it could become.
He said it has occurred to him during those long walks that it would be great to hop onto a sky lift and soar across the water, maybe from the northern shore to Federal Hill. The Pigtown resident sees the ambitious idea as one that “will pay for itself.”
“I’ve visited places and they always have something you remember,” said Abbai, 45, who has done work at the Inner Harbor as a radio frequency engineer for Comcast. “I’ve seen when Harborplace was very, very busy. I’ve always wondered why it’s slowing down.”
