Reply to Opinions on Niche's Baltimore Neighborhood ratings? Any neighborhoods you strongly disagree with the ratings on? by AyyScare
What's the story with how the city became so divided along York/Greenmount? I'd love to read the history behind that.

There seems to be people that aren't as focused on the aesthetics of a building as long as they can get what they need from there for a decent price.
Then you have those whose expectations are more particular In that area. They don't care that the place serves a very important purpose for the existing community. All they care about is themselves.
Why wasn't Lexington Market maintained properly all these years. If managed by the city in a good way, then it could have been preserved the way it's been for many decades.
With regards Cross st market folks got the new place but it still has several vacancies. Despite the greatly expanded hours people aren't giving it the kind of support it should have.
Does it look nicer? Yes it does. But is it more inviting? That's where I think we are going to differ with regards to our opinions.
What I would love to know is how much was that market making in about 2017 compared to what it's been earning lately.
Same thing with Broadway Market.

I think that's just the default that the map shows at that zoom level... I linked the link in another comment if you wanted to see more details or see if you get the same result.

Weird that “Park Heights” is literally the only neighborhood within Baltimore that specifically called out. Is that a location OP looked at and it’s just still on the map?

For those unfamiliar with Niche, I will link the overall Baltimore page below. If you scroll down half way, you will find the neighborhood map I posted and you can look at the profiles for each neighborhood if you wanted more details vs just the image.

According to Niche's website, they outline all the different items and data sets that go into their ratings.

That being said, the ratings overlap very closely to a poverty/median income map.

Pretty sure this is just a map of poverty in Baltimore. See every BNIA map, Lawrence Brown’s work, etc.

tbf if the old lexington market was half as nice as reading terminal it probably wouldn't have been revamped.

It's not so much that the freight is slow its that CSX doesn't care about passenger trains because they don't make as much money

Meetups are what I did. Don't worry if there are a lot of people going, people tend to break into smaller groups to hold conversations.
Don't do the local r4r, it's just people who want to bang. Actually that's why I don't really try to make male friends off reddit any more. Too many "hey, I'm totally straight too, you seem really cool, maybe we can hang out, if the vibe is good we could try sucking each other's dicks to see what that's like" bullshit messages.
If you're a drinker, the city has a ton of social events that involve the bar scene.

One of the hulks in the shallows is the remains of the Emma Giles, a paddlewheel ferry that provided service from Baltimore up and down the Bay. There's also at least one WWII era ferrocement ship in the area.

Exactly. I realize I have to keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of folks in this subreddit could care less about the old Lexington Market because they don't have a history with it. They don't want turkey wings, fried chicken, cheap breakfast choices etc. they want stuff that's way more expensive and trendy.

The communal space was upstairs on the second floor it was a pretty big space as well.
As for Mt Vernon Marketplace, R House and White Hall. I think it's good that they exist. The last one again I am extremely fond of.
As for something that is supposed to be one of Baltimore City Public Markets I am strongly against them BECOMING food halls. A food hall just doesn't have the same energy as a public market does nor does it offer the inexpensive food choices that the public markets do either.

curtis creek. 695 used to run at the same level as that railroad bridge, it was changed sometime in the early 80's to the much higher level so it didnt have to open for every crabboat cruising by. used to love going over it as a kid in the car. https://bridgehunter.com/md/baltimore-city/bh79928/

The Park Heights label is likely just part of what is called a “basemap” layer, that the geospatial data is then displayed on top of.
