Those who live in Baltimore...

Bumping this thread.

Almost 6 years later, how is Baltimore doing? I am going there for the first time in a long time in October. The last time I was there, I swore never again, but there is a concert I would like to attend. The concert is at CFG Bank Arena and we would like to stay close to the venue. This means walking at night after the concert.

Any recent visitors? Has Baltimore cleaned up their aggressive panhandlers and threatening squeegee menaces? How is the Inner Harbor looking these days?

I was just down last month. Took the kids to the B&O Railroad Museum and then dinner in Little Italy. There were (adult) squeegee guys at a light I got stopped at, 4 of them in a group, but I waved them away without issue. All things seem pretty much the standard there to me. On the ride home we didn't take 95N, we took Eastern Ave and rode by Patterson Park, Greektown and all that -- different looking than when I moved away in 2006, but about the same over the last several years since then, in my opinion. I drove past the Inner Harbor between the museum and Little Italy, but didn't stop there, so can't answer anything about that. A year ago we were at the aquarium and there were a lot of people holding signs but I didn't get approached by anyone.

We go to O’s and Ravens games which sometimes are at night and park usually at the CFG Arena garage or another garage like at the Sheraton and feel perfectly safe. You may see people with signs asking for money but we say sorry don’t have and there are no issues. We also sometimes spend a day at the Inner Harbor.
