You said it. The streets in Baltimore are terrible. And they are just as bad in D.C!
Like East 26th Street between North Charles and St. Paul streets...
If the Park Service actually “owns” these parkways I fail to understand (given the history of park service roads) why they don’t change the naming conventions to “drives” and charge $12 per day to use them.
I took my mother down to the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for some eye surgery a few years ago, and there was one nearby street that felt like it was made of cobblestones, but it was basically just dozens, if not hundreds, of potholes and pavement patches all adjacent to each other for one whole block.
