The second floor was closed and that arcade part of the market was completely removed.

I know the Pandemic has messed up how we look at time in certain ways but it hasn't been that long since that area was open.

It was a large open area that was indoors so it could be used even in bad weather. Also, it was away from the foot traffic of the market itself which made for a nice place to eat a meal.

Stairs being communal space isn't a fiid replacement and I wonder if you've ever been upstairs at all

Tell me what ya gonna do now?

It's not in a brewery but right next to one, same building. Movement Hampden right in the same building as Union

Ministry of brewing does it fairly often. Fulltilt used to but I haven’t seen them post about it in a while. You can follow a bunch of breweries on IG or maybe contact a couple of them to find the business/person that does it and then contact them directly for a schedule?

The second floor has been closed for how many years now before the closure of the market,Now now there’s several whole event spaces worth of communal space. The stairs are communal seating. There’s now communal tables for eating

I think most people are against the gloried food court concepts, but alas. It’s here.

As someone who has done very little digging into the topic: Can you elaborate a little on why the school data is so bad? Are sites like GreatSchools the same way?

There's one at Guilford Hall Brewing on February 26th. I've also been to them in the past at Waverly and Pariah. I follow local breweries on Instagram to find out about these kinds of events generally.

I read the police reports by neighborhood from the Baltimore police department. Those neighborhood sites are not always accurate or they exaggerate making places sound like they are in a war zone when they are just middle class neighborhoods with black folks. 🙅🏽‍♀️

Heavy seas brewery in Halethorpe does this regularly. Looking at their calendar, looks like they have an event scheduled for Feb 19.

This is interesting thank you for posting. I didn’t know about this site before. I looked at the city ratings and drilled down to the neighborhood ratings. The neighborhood ratings have personal comments from people who live and work there. My neighborhood Saint Agnes only had one rating, the comment was accurate, I would have given more than one star. The ratings and comments for the surrounding neighborhoods are accurate based on my experience.

This is good tool for people moving into the city or moving from one neighborhood to another. It’s also a good tool to see how neighborhoods changed, the larger neighborhood next to me Violetville went from five stars mentioning the good school, park and friendly neighbors to one star mentioning blight and how the local wellness group is similar to a HOA. Good reading, I also notice they include reviews of the local schools, the details are interesting.

I also agree this clearly shows the white L areas on green, while the surrounding areas are not as green, the areas of Carrollton Ridge, Sandtowne, and maybe Harlem Park are red, my experience is those are tougher areas.

Thank you for posting, very good information.

👌

This is a redlining map, repackaged as helpful trendy hints.

My neighborhood’s ranked highly on it, and it’s racist as fuck here. And the school data Niche uses is worse than pointless; it’s harmful.

Wish they’d ask people what they value and map that instead.

The nightlife ratings are a little odd. If I understand their scoring properly, it sounds like Wyman Park benefits from being so close to Hampden, Charles Village, Remington, and the Rotunda. Those give them a ton of restaurants, a decent number of bars, a large college/young adult population... Those all play into how that gets calculated.

Definitely right inside of the neighborhood lines though, it's a lower nightlight grade.

If you want a real deep dive, I highly recommend Not in My Neighborhood (Baltimore specific) and The Color of Law (broadly about the US history of racial covenants and residential segregation)

No. You should not dump a body there.

The Wyman Park vs Hampden cutoff is odd. #1 vs #19 and both share the same benefits. They gave Wyman Park A+ for nightlife but there aren’t any restaurants in the designated area.

Then we are at an impasse.

Your sword!

Easy with Nickelback...I don't drink WhiteClaws.

Back up, back up...

It rates Union Square lower than Mount Clare or Carrollton Ridge? And Poppleton lower than all of them?

I feel like this is just a "the higher percentage of white people gets a higher score" map.

As someone who has not spent time in the Butcher's Hill neighborhood specifically but I've been to surrounding areas, are there certain things worth specifically going to the neighborhood to check out? Are you surprised with the #2 ranking?

I'll check it out!

Great place, I lol’d at A+ nightlife

Buy or pick up "The Black Butterfly" by Dr. Lawrence Brown.

Long story short, redlining and racism.

Exactly. Mix it up! We have way too many adults that have grown up in a homogeneous environment and as a result lack understanding of people who don't look like them.
