This bus line is what one would call, modest. There isn't much of anything interesting about it to say the least, which is not bad, but still... the LocalLink 73, for what seems by coincidence, became an heir apparent successor to the ole' Route 27 (pre- 2001) that once operated the same route -- more specifically, the Hollins Ferry Road portion before it was reassigned to the original Route 51 (now LocalLink 26). Now, there is some significant history for this line but it isn't anything to gawk about... except that it serves the neighborhood I was born & raised in, Lakeland [hence the alias "MJof𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱"].
This line connects to the Camden Sports Complex and Greyhound Terminal & Horseshoe Casino while snaking it's way through some of Baltimore's most forgotten neighborhoods in the southside. On the north-end, the Pennsylvania Avenue section is the epidemy -- among other things since June 17, 2017 -- of BaltimoreLink doing too much for no legitimate reason. In case you didn't know of it's historical roots, the No. 7 line ran the entire course of Pennsylvania Avenue for generations, and I mean since the beginning of the horse & carriage. That line, of several iterations, has outlived many of neighborhoods that were nothing more than farmhouses and woodlands. Again, like a lot of things since the fateful June 17, 2017 rebrand, it created an unneeded deterrent for a corridor that had thru-service.
In 2024, the line was given an extension to the recently opened Amazon -- ONE more out of the near dozen of Jeff Bezos's sweatshops across the Greater Baltimore region -- in the industrial sector that makes up Wagner's Point. Now, why did they did choose the LocalLink 73?... I dunno. Especially with the CityLink SILVER literally sitting 2-3 minutes around the corner in Curtis Bay, or even the "Forgotten Line" in the LocalLink 67 whom is within the vicinity of said industrial area. Its a headscratcher to be honest and just adds more unnecessary travel time and resources needed to an, otherwise, modest bus line.
