Pennsylvania Avenue| Road in Washington DC, USA, running between Georgetown to the northwest and Anacostia to the southeast. It is the route of the presidential inaugural parade and many other processions. After passing in front of the White House (Number 1600), it turns and proceeds to Capitol Hill. It then resumes again southeast of the Capitol, and runs through southeast Washington, where it is a major commercial street. Having entered Maryland, it becomes the Marlboro Pike after crossing the Beltway. |
Pennsylvania Avenue| Commercial road in Baltimore, Maryland, formerly running southeast–northwest, between the downtown area and Druid Hill Park. Throughout most of the early 20th century it was the focal street of Baltimore's black American community, but urban renewal in the 1970s removed most of the thoroughfare. |
| Areas to the west of the avenue were traditionally the heartland of Baltimore's black American population, although much of the community, comprising 57% of the city's inhabitants in 1990, now lives in the more integrated northeastern and parts of the northwestern districts of the city. |
