Anybody Been to Downtown Baltimore Lately?

Recommended Posts

I was there a month or so ago.  What a total swill hole.  Bums on every corner.  Dudes trying to wash your window at every stop light.  Stoned out addicts begging for money all over the place.  There is litter everywhere.  A total dump.  Buffalo gets a bad rap.  I'd take Buffalo any day over that dump.

Racist!!!!

Actually, more of a bigot.  ‘Bums’, ‘dudes’, and ‘addicts’ know no bounds with regards to race.

 

EDIT:  A month ago?  Now I know why I called it ‘I Missed It News’.  ?

I'm impressed that the word, "infested," didn't make it into your diatribe.

You must not get put much trolling and all.   I hear Trump Jr's properties are full of rats too. 

 

Drive down Pennsylvanian Avenue and you will find the same. Go to any inner city and you will find the same.

The country has been overtaken by slum lords.

 

You with me in this thread when it gets cast down?  Words of advice, just don't sneeze or stand near anybody sneezing down there... They will know you're from (or near) Baltimore!

Not triggered at all...I love it! I never criticized Donny over B-More... He's a poet and prophet.  Taught me how to off it!

I was there for the first time ever last January for a work thing, and no, I didn’t leave thinking it was a nice city.  I actually had a job offer in Baltimore before I decided on Vermont.  So glad I made that decision after visiting for a week.

Smooth move!  You Sir are VERY discerning!

 

Really... I wish I was as wise 20 years.

Must be Jarrad Kushner isn't a slum lord in Buffalo like he is in Baltimore

"From God's lips to TSW's ears..."

 

Baltimore's a large city (30th overall) with significant embedded poverty, although at 22.2% it's well below the City of Buffalo's 29.6%.    Among the 30 largest cities, only Detroit, Philadelphia and Memphis rank higher.

 

You do see things like panhandling you don't see in Buffalo--but that's likely because income levels are much higher, so there's more money's to be had (median $47,131 in the City of Baltimore vs. $34,814 in the City of Buffalo).   The disparity's even wider when you look at the entire metro area ($77,394 in Baltimore vs. $55,448 in Buffalo).

 

With a population more than twice that of Buffalo, there's no question that Baltimore has a lot of challenges.    But IMO, its also got a lot of good things going for it and I enjoy traveling there regularly on business.

I go to Baltimore once a month for work.  It is horrible.  Traffic.  Cleanliness.  Crime.  All problems there.  Outside of about a 5 block area near Camden/Inner Harbor it is all bad.  

 

What is funny is I live in Richmond which was amongst the worst cities for murders in the 80's and 90's often being called the murder capital.  When you think of murder capital in the US I think of Baltimore, Chicago, St. Louis, and Detroit.
