The end of an era?

ABC2News in Baltimore is reporting that fifty-two horses have been removed from an urban stable after the city condemned the building:

Graziano and other city officials from the Health Department explained to the Arabbers how they will transport the animals to the Maryland Jockey Club farm in Bowie. The City says it hopes to bring the horses back to Pimlico within the week, where the horses will stay until the City can find permanent stables for the arabbers to use. Officials say they still hope to one day create stables that can double as a cultural exhibit for tourists to visit.

Doesn’t seem like much consolation for people who could lose their livelihood, but the horses definitely deserve better accommodations, if the news report is accurate.
