Given the overwhelming challenges created by the pandemic and our beverage-only driven business, the operations were not sustainable as we prepare for the next chapter. We appreciate all of our customers and supporters and thank them for their long-time loyalty; we look forward to celebrating the institution\u2019s legacy in the future development. We strongly believe in the Mt. Vernon community and will always drive to be stewards of quality, growth and retention to ensure the neighborhood\u2019s character stays true to form.<\/p><cite>The Management Team<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Grand Central: The Location<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the address and map of the location:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1001 N Charles St.<br>Baltimore, MD 21201<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d1298.1097579553243!2d-76.61611912935685!3d39.30088707175931!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x89c80496570b8cf3%3A0x8ea0fcbecb15e96c!2s1001%20N%20Charles%20St%2C%20Baltimore%2C%20MD%2021201!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1613193943367!5m2!1sen!2sus\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Below is a July 2019 street view of the property: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!4v1613193977927!6m8!1m7!1sBTdKSico89lTn6RpLsv8Fg!2m2!1d39.30123328068179!2d-76.61588702846342!3f103.71890948536466!4f-0.7419045207894044!5f0.7820865974627469\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" aria-hidden=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Grand Central: Entertainers Featured<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ourcommunityroots.com\/?p=74941\">Tia Chambers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:19px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Grand Central: Links<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/grandcentralnightclubbaltimore\">Facebook<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand Central, now closed, was located at 1001 N.
