50 years ago Baltimore was a great city; my mother lived there and as a 6yo took trollies alone into the city. What you’re probably talking about is the blue-collar and industrial areas (such as the “Inner Harbor”) that weren’t so pretty, but not dangerous.

My husbands Coast Guard Cutter was there for repairs and I went up and spent a week or 2. Yes I did stay in the harbor area but for entertainment during the day, while he was working, I took city buses all over town. I never felt threatened when I got off and walked around but I remember that it looked old and seedy and I never found what looked like an upscale neighborhood. I know there had to be one somewhere.
