DryTear opens on Charles Street
Fans of fashion and local music have a new go-to in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District.
DryTear opens tomorrow at 1728 N. Charles St. above The Depot. The boutique will sell clothes, accessories and CDs from Baltimore bands.
Ada Ruiz of the local group Red This Ever (pictured) is one of the co-owners.
"Anybody can walk in here and find something," she said.
The grand opening is 10 a.m.-8 p.m. and features live music from E. Joseph and a few other acoustic acts.
Ruiz said one of her goals with Drytear is to make enough money so Red This Ever can go on tour.
"We've pretty much dumped everything we have into this," Ruiz said. "We figure we'll get the band to start working here one by one. Then we'll be able to go on tour."

I've been The Baltimore Sun's nightlife and local entertainment reporter for a couple years, and it's surprising how much the scene has grown in that time. Most of Baltimore's bars and clubs are unpretentious places with fairly cheap drinks and plenty of character. I like dancing and think this city needs more clubs, but nothing beats having a cold, locally brewed beer with friends in a comfortably full corner bar.
