History at Risk – Season 1 – Season 2 – Season 3 – Season 4 – Season 5
Season 1: Fell’s Point
Frank Tybush has been parking on the same brick streets for years now. He works for Jacquie Greff, producer for Tonal Vision, which is located in historical Fell’s Point, one of the nation’s oldest communities. When Jacquie tasks him with documenting Fell’s Point, Frank discovers more than he expected.
Season 2: The Carolinas
Allured by the rich history of the South, Frank turns his curious eye toward the Carolinas… without his boss’ knowledge. Is she ever in for a surprise! With a sky-kissing battleship and a sunken Civil War submarine amongst the sites on Frank’s list, she’s bound to agree that Frank’s found more History at Risk!
Season 3: Night at the Entertainment Museum
Fresh off his trip to the Carolinas, Frank heads to Geppi’s Entertainment Museum to explore the history of comics, entertainment, and pop culture. With zombies, superheroes, giant monsters, and radioactive rings ahead of him, Frank straightens his tie, cocks his hat, and heads into the historical fray. Excelsior!
Season 4: He forgot me!
After a year’s delay while Frank went to art college, he decides to go forward with the 2016 season of History at Risk. It’s been so long, Dee hardly remembers him, and is angry he seems to have forgotten her as well. Watch the struggle between them play out against a background of unusual Baltimore history.
Season 5: Broadway Markets
In its final fifth season, the History at Risk web video series focused on the Broadway Markets, covering their rise, importance, decline, and uncertain future. The markets in Baltimore, MD are the largest public market system in the nation and one of the oldest. Built in the 1780’s, the Broadway Markets in Fell’s Point once served as a meeting spot for traders coming to Baltimore. In 2018 when Season 5 aired, their future was uncertain — only one of the two buildings was open and the other sat empty.
