We spent a couple of nights at a hotel on the Inner Harbor during the summer of 2007. It was actually a very nice area with a lot of history but I don’t think we’d go there again.
Has anyone posted this?

140 cars and 200 businesses is a few?
I questioned that too, having seen the 200 businesses figure.
I was in Baltimore in the mid 60s too, you’re right, it was already a s### hole even back then, so was D.C., where I lived.
And if by “addressing” it, they mean the usual panacea of pouring trillions into the bottomless pit, to be skimmed at the top by the con-artists like Sharpton and Jackson, then they’ve “addressed” the problem exactly as they intended to. With more to come (the “My Brother’s Keeper” is the latest redistribution scheme, to take from the makers, give to the takers, after first allowing a huge skim by the criminals in oversight).
The police ought to bail en masse from these areas, and let them “police” themselves. They could officially implement the “No Snitichin’” program.
But first, we put a high-voltage fence around the perimeter. Wouldn’t want any rayciss whites coming in and interfering /s
Telling graphic.
A community organizer success story (major sarc).
Well, that should buff right out.

You’re not alone...penning up their baseball fans, followed by a game without spectators, pretty much spells an end their TOTAL DELUSION that black-on-white crime is ‘just fine’ as long as no one investigates.
Most of my family still lives there but I refuse to go to Maryland because I cannot legally carry in order to defend myself and family from the feral thugs.
Went to the downtown area near the acquarium a few years back. I thought it was a nice area. But it was clear that this was an enclave in the middle of hostile territory. And guns were prohibited. Don’t see any reason to return and be a victim.
It’s no longer safe there. At the very least, there are aggressive panhandlers. A waitress who worked at the Cheesecake Factory there was stabbed to death after leafing work for the night.
It’s open season on anyone who isn’t black.

I know people that live outside of Baltimore and they keep telling me how wonderful the waterfront and Camden yards is...yet I once made the mistake of walking with my family 2 blocks outside the immediate are of John Hopkins University (within Baltimore). We were walking to a drug store. It was too late once I figured it out, but we did make it there safely. So I had them hole-up in the drug store while I made a break for the Neutral Zone (i.e., John Hopkins area). I managed to make it there before they got a radar lock, I got to the car, and then drove to the drug store to pick them up.
There was NO WAY that I’m about to believe ANY AREA of that city is safe (other than maybe the JH Neutral Zone, at least back then). And then there was the article that came out in Sept. last year explain how this wonderful mayor “cut crime in half” by simply not arresting people for violent felonies, unless the police happened to be witness and other liberal techniques - but dead bodies are not as easy to ignore and the murder rate in Baltimore remains very high for large cities - that’s enough to keep me out, probably forever.
I was in the area some 15 years ago - the Inner Harbor/Camden Yards area seemed to be the only well-maintained section of the city.
