On Tuesday, February 14, students in the Staging Suburbia course, the product of a Mellon-funded collaboration with the Jewish Museum, visited the neighborhoods about which they will be creating an exhibit for Fall 2012: Baltimore’s post-war Jewish suburbs. The museum staff teaching the course did not forget to include a stopover at Miller’s delicatessen, to allow some time for intensive discussion on topics from suburbia and the shaping of community identity to contemporary rhetoric that stages moving to the suburbs as a pioneer experience.
