I was in Baltimore a few weeks ago, before and after a cruise from their port. FWIW, the city has done a real good job making tourists feel safe and welcome.
It is all a ruse.
I’m glad you enjoyed your cruise... out of the Inner Harbor, I assume? Yes.. Baltimore has done tremendous work on cleaning up the city. The Inner Harbor is stunning at night. I am amazed at how many FReepers make comments and don’t realize that Baltimore has some great things. The violence last night was from outside agitators... none of them live in Baltimore. The regular Baltimore folks had a peaceful, Constitutional demonstration during the day. The violence started at night and from the outside agitators.
