Ok thank you!

This is very helpful thank you

I said what I said.

That sounds great! Message me when you’ll be in town and we can set something up

It’s an unused train bridge next to a drawbridge next to a drawbridge

This was my worry along: a vibrant place filled mostly with poor and working-class Black customers turned into yet another wannabe yuppie enclave.

As James Baldwin said, "Urban renewal means negro removal."

Coast guard repair yard. Their main shipyard. Just got money for an upgrade.

The current iteration of cross street market is depressing and way overpriced

Lol..same. granted, i was on a farm, in almost complete darkness. I jumped in, thought...where is my trash?? Lol..then looked around. I was in a very sweet mercedes. You think i'd noticed that one!

Correction this is a still functioning csx swing bridge https://bridgehunter.com/md/anne-arundel/bh58997/

My good Baltimorean, I nearly think you’ve insulted my drink of choice! How dare you compare my strawberry vanilla lemonade shandy milkshake IPA to Nickleback?!

It's Curtis Creek

What do you want to know? It’s a pretty unexciting industrial area on the water.

I feel like someone is going to be disappointed by any market concept. Everyone is going to want something different. Some folks will just pick out things solely because they don’t want to like it.

The run down looking, but affordable, concept seems like it has been on the way out for some time. I think it’s both good and bad. Cross Street Market is much, much cleaner inside. But they have also never reached close to 100% capacity due to rent, prices aren’t great, there’s constant churn, and something like a produce stand seems unlikely. But at the same time it’s a hell of a lot more family friendly.

You have been caught lying and insulting me twice now. Why should I believe or care about anything you say? You are seriously a piece of shit.

Don't worry. It's Baltimore. Nobody likely noticed or cared.

I have no idea why your comments are being voted down. Your impression matches mine.

I'm so tired of yuppification being touted as progress. You want food courts, go to the burbs.

But really because of the extant remote work transformation accelerated by COVID, this is what is happening to center cities now. They are increasingly playgrounds for the disposable income class. Not working organic cities but socially engineered and curated "experience spaces".

Out with the fried chicken and sweet tea, in with the Pan-Asian/fusion chicken breasts and kombucha tea. Unfortunate but inexorable.

It's all salt. It develops a hard crust and then very little dissolves. Once winter ends, they will cover with a tarp.

I have been delivering pizzas at night out in Harford County. We're hustling to and from the car, no time to waste, chasing tips. Many car doors are unlocked out here. My previous vehicle was a black SUV and several times I delivered the pizza, bolted off the porch, and straight into the customer's black SUV in the driveway. Always got a laugh instead of buckshot in the ass thankfully.

One night, I went out to my car to grab something and found it unlocked. "Stupid me," I thought as I went into the back seat.

Then I realized that several things were missing--among them being a bag of empty food wrappers and other trash. "Who steals a bag of trash??" I thought.

But it wasn't just that things were missing. No, random stuff has been put there instead. A shoebox with a pair of old Nikes. A packages set of bedsheets. "Who the hell goes into a car, steals garbage, and leaves behind their own stuff????"

And then the penny dropped and I realized I had been rooting around in someone else's black Nissan Versa.

I backed away with my hands up, loudly declaring to the empty alley that "this is not my car, holy shit this is not my car, oh my god I'm an idiot".

Lol there are multiple black Subarus on my street with the same model. One is mine. One doesn’t lock its doors. I found that out the hard way with a hand full of bags!

It going to turn into some stupid commercialized instead mom and pop store. Lexington market used to be my go to place for lunch when I work in Bmore

You asked where the communal space was in the old market, didn't you?

Haha! Wife did the same many years ago as we were leaving the mall- except it was an Accord and the cars were parked side-by-side. She walks up and gets in while I’m fiddling with the keys. I unlock my car, get in and go to start. I look over to my right and there she is sitting in the car next to me. I almost panicked until the car started. Then I honk the horn and she looks over. The look on her face! Priceless!!
