A Walk Down Pikesville's Memory Lane

Do you recall The Backfin Restaurant?

If you're no longer living in Pikesville, you might not know that the popular restaurant's building has been gone since it was demolished in the fall of 2010, and that work continues on a new building at the site.

Health-Way Pharmacy will be the lead tenant of the new, single-building development at the corner of Reisterstown Road and Sudbrook Lane, a project spearheaded by developer Timur Yusufov. Health-Way will move to the site from its current location on Bedford Avenue, behind Staples at Reisterstown and Old Court roads.

The new, 10,000-square-foot, 2-story building with a partial basement, will house Health-Way Pharmacy as well as other retail on the first floor, and offices on the second floor.

It seems that every week there is something new to see. These days there is a forest of steel supports surrounding the site as workers create the basement and foundation. 

The Backfin was a popular seafood eatery, set in a building that was built in the early 1900s. To read more about the restaurant, visit our story ""

And, revisiting the weather, which hasn't been much to talk about for the past week, today there are still piles of snowy ice around from our previous snowfall earlier this month. But it was more picturesque after the snowfall had just occurred. 

So here are some more photographs, some enhanced, from that time, taken by Patch Contributor Maurice Waters.
