I have nothing good to say about Aberdeen. Most people that are from Harford county or know it wouldn’t. Aberdeen isn’t exactly high crime, but it isn’t low crime by any means when it comes to HarCo.

It’s been maxed out

Ottobar

It’s in transition. It just looks sketchier than it is in certain parts of the neighborhood. Keep your general good wits about you. You’re not in any immediate danger living there.

Georgetown has college students now. It’s dead when schools isn’t in session

They didn’t close, they moved to City Center

It’s ran by MTA so you’ll be able to buy tickets via the Charm Pass app.

It’s 3 years away

There is. Take the silver to Union or to New Carrollton or College park metro stations and transfer to MARC or Amtrak to Baltimore.

I know 2 people that give lessons: my coworker who’s classically trained and my old neighbor that’s a teacher at BSA. DM me and I’ll give you their info to contact them

This is functionally not true

Lol yeah

Just saw 2 morman missionaries in Highlandtown 2 weeks ago

What lack of outdoor dinning? The only places that didn’t have the outdoor dining here are places that didn’t have the traditional space for outdoor seating

Lol nobody said any of that. Nothing that happens in Baltimore doesn’t happen anywhere else.

If you dumped 2000k more people in Baltimore right now all of a sudden those statistics on crime look better and better.

There’s certainly places I wouldn’t go in DC, ATL, etc. and I never want to go anywhere in TX.

As long as they don’t attack them first with a bat they’d be fine. Thousands of other are. And that was well after. Not to worry tho, they could just be murder waiting for metro or in Columbia Heights

It’s the most irritating thing.

It amazes how people so confidently believe everything that happens in Baltimore exclusively happens in Baltimore on this sub. How naive.

Search pigtown in the sub search.

The city isn’t shirking. It’s a mass exodus of former low income residents. The city has done nothing but rise in median income over the last 10 years. Number of households have increased, but the number of families has decreased.

Because you your original point was grocery stores don’t want to come here. They’re here and they do open up as evident by them several very recent grocery store openings in various parts of the city.

Yes, no shit. Why would any business open up where it isn’t profitable. Location matters with everything.

Cherry Hill has options. I know because my grandmother lives there. I take her to the grocery stores nearest. They also have access to fresh produce and such at the Cherry Hill Shopping Center. And there are options for people in Sandtown as well.

You’re now moving into moving goalpost territory. We weren’t talking about food deserts. You went on some BS rant and I called you out on the plot holes in your narrative. You then tried moving goalposts and gaslighting. So that where the confusion came from. Below I’ve copied and pasted your direct quote to help with your confusion:

“For too long, Baltimore City (and Maryland state) government(s) have had no urgency for economic policy and infrastructure investment geared toward the city's overall population growth and stimulating business demand. As a result, there's a drag on the presence of amenities in this city; and in my opinion, this plays out most vividly in the food sector, both retail and restaurants. Grocery stores don't want to come here & restaurants open today, go out of business tomorrow, and have early closing hours in the interim. It's all pathetic given the city's beauty, potential, and youthful vibe---there could be a booming night time economy here.”

Northwood isn’t the El nor is Greektown. Not that that changes the fact the several different grocery store chains have opened here within 5 years where you said “none want to come to Baltimore”. Clearly that isn’t true.

Dude a Giant just opened up in Locust point last week.. Northwood Commons by Morgan got a Lidl…they opened the Streets Markets in Greektown and Charles Village a few years ago. Ironically both of the last 2 were developed by Bramble.

And cool, hip new restaurants open every other day. Do you even live in Baltimore? It’s a global “post Covid” adjustment. This issue is happening downtowns across the nation.

OMG YES. This is the one thing that really chaps my ass post-Covid.hard pressed to find brunch or lunch at most places that aren’t in fells that are open for lunch/brunch Sunday - Thursday. And then to some degree the other remaining days. And then those same places close at 10-12PM that night.

Absolutely not. I call it “Sniff & Bump” affectionally. The owner was caught in a huge blow bust 10 years ago. Dude got caught like 7 kilos in Northern Va. he also owns that Rita’s between eastern/fleet here and hey found more blow + various other party drugs + a shitload of money and if I’m not mistaken a gun or 4. There’s been serval bar owners between canton and fells that have been busted for blow thru the years.

So much so it’s now Wet City, ha
