Baltimore Times

The Baltimore Times was created in November 1986 at the kitchen table of the Bramble family, located at 1800 Madison Street. It started as a monthly publication, quickly becoming a must-read for its audience. Readers valued it for its honest coverage, articles about their community, families, friends, and even themselves. Just a month later, the Brambles made the decision to switch to a weekly publication. As the Times gained popularity and built a strong bond of trust with its readers—many of whom shared it with others in different parts of the state—the Brambles recognized the need for growth. This led to the launch of additional papers including The Annapolis Times, The Shore Times, The Prince George’s County Times, and The Baltimore County Times.
