In this era, patrons were engulfed by marquee lights, burlesque shows and sexual desires. This flier brands The Two O\u2019Clock Club to be a place of fantasy, serving as a relic of the indulgence that took place in this small vicinity, this artifact deserves recognition for solidifying a reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The flier was selected to highlight the wild, unique and sex positive nightlife of a young city&#8217;s ambitious fight and vision for a space in history. Through the lens of authenticity, the mission of this piece is to exemplify the raw nature of the sex work culture, and the negligence \u201cThe Block\u201d has experienced in attempt to \u201cregulate\u201d crime by police. The audience will be provoked with the idea that \u201cThe Block\u201d was\/is the highlight of Baltimore\u2019s infamous crime\/sex culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe that the story \u201cThe Block\u201d can be told through this piece and allow users to exercise their right to perception by developing their own opinion without avoiding the true history of an urban environment that was developed as a safe haven for outcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This artifact within the canon is essential for the truth of a city&#8217;s reputation, not only does it reflect on societal norms, it encapsulates and challenges the idea of preservation. The art deco signage in this historical context serves to show that a style can be synonymous with a lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources Cited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cArticle Clipped from the Evening Sun.\u201d Newspapers.Com, 14 Dec. 1979, baltimoresun.newspapers.com\/article\/the-evening-sun\/82038796\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> CharmCityHistory. \u201cIt\u2019s 2 o\u2019clock.
