Reply to Bojangles is coming to Baltimore by Somali_Pir8

As someone who grew up in NC my response is, meh.

Bojangles isn't bad, but it's not special either. The only thing they've really have that I remember being better there than most places are their curly fries.

I studied urban planning in college and I admit I am a bit of an idealist. But I'm also a realist and sometimes things just don't work out for people.
Having said that, in my original post I mentioned that I'm studying data analytics. The HOPE is to get work at some kind of a social good organization. I've just been taking jobs to pay the bills all my life and I would love to pay the bills AND improve the world, in whatever tiny way I can. That's the plan, anyway.

Oh trust me, I'm aware of the issues. I'll admit that's what kept me from even considering Baltimore up until now. But Richmond's got crime problems too AND it's small AND there just isn't much of that community feel, at least not in the places I've lived. I'm happy that you found what you were looking for!

>Canton, fells point, federal hill, Hamden

I'm 32 and single. I like all kinds of activities. I do a lot of solo stuff like walking and biking, museums, drone flying, etc. But I also love trying new places, going to bars and live music, etc. I value walkability and affordability. Actually all of those places you listed are ones I'll be taking a look at. Fells Point was awesome but might be slightly out of my budget.

Depends where you live in Baltimore. Some neighborhoods would be better for you than others depending on your age, family, interests. Canton, fells point, federal hill, Hamden would be neighbors where you could meet people easily because they are walkable and there a lot of things to do.
