Um all of them? Lol

I'm essentially describing parts of Chicago here or maybe Toronto.? I don't even have these things in close proximity in LA so there not so much demands. Also, I didn't know that about the impact the Universities have had on the surrounding communities.

Also two delis—Krause's Lite Fare (legacy stall) and royal Deli (new).

Also, I'm surprised, no one mentioned Charles Village. I remember when i visited, a student at Hopkins recommended that area. Thoughts?

Good to know! It sounds very much like Chicago which is where I'm originally from. Beautiful city but things change from block to block. I think Hampden, Mt. Vernon, and Fells Point sound like the best options for what I'm looking for. I appreciate all of your insight! If I think of anything else do you mind if I bug you again? haha

I mean shit at this point you could put Sadam Hussein on the ballot and I’d vote for him over Mosby.

So Hampden is great. It's kind of like the "beatnik" part of town but in a good way. Lots of diverse people there. Very affordable. "The Avenue" is famous for their food/bars. It is very close to Hopkins Campus (vs. Hopkins Hospital which you do not want to live near). Very good area and you really can't go wrong there.

The only issue is that it is up against Remington which is still a neighborhood in transition. That is the one thing about Baltimore in that one block can be really good but 2 blocks away is sketchy. Even where I live, 5-6 blocks east of me and I'm not walking there at night........But as like most cities, just be aware and you will be fine. Specifically, as long as you aren't buying/selling heroin, you will be ok.

Thanks! The bike lane on Monument between Central and Broadway is particularly atrocious. I frequently see cars using it as an HOV lane or to turn onto certain side streets and alleys. It's only a matter of time before there's a serious or fatal injury in that lane.

Also, my understanding is that BGE has completely shredded the bike lane on Cathedral by the Walters. Are there any plans to fix the damage?

If you want to live near Hopkins, Hampden has a huge grocery store called Moms that I walk to from my home every week. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance too.

What are your extended thoughts on Hampden? I see you wrote there's lots to do there. It's kinda where I'm leaning towards at the moment

LOL my nightmare as well.

You say dumb shit every day on here, but this is up there.

I love how you’re now pretending that white people don’t still hold and held more Baltimore city public office positions than black people do in this city today currently or previously…

If you like live music, Fells Point has 7-8 places on the same block with bands playing all day Saturday/Sunday. It's a lot of fun. Fed Hill is usually for the <30 crowd. Fells Point is >30. Canton is a bit of a mix. Locust Point is a little more for newly married couples/families with small kids before they move to the county for public schools.

Enjoy!!!

dollar beers at Claddagh and $2 high noons at Lees on Thursdays. SoPro, El Buffalo, Claddaghs on the weekends. Lees on weekend afternoons. The entire month of March will be packed everywhere for St Pattys

Thank you for this! A concise rundown- I love it. And yes, Baltimore is so charming and I miss city life. I'm sure i will love it! Thanks for the info!

Love this!

Can we also get a "citations for joggers running against traffic in the bike lane" rollout. Whether I'm in my car or on my bike, I'm dodging them about as much as double parked cars and delivery trucks, some times more.

The essence of life! *Moves Hampden to top of my list*

It's been 0 days since Nazis tried to attack Baltimore and this is the perspective of white people in the area.

I hate this country.

Every bar in Canton is like that.

On Marxh 3rd that is

Go to Magerks Pub & Grill Federal Hill.

For the Eagles game recently it was packed, standing room only, with nothing but trash meatheads. You'll love it.

I really don't know why people continue to believe the myth that black folks (in Baltimore or anywhere else) don't vote for white people. It's silly. If black folks are supposed to grow up believing "You can do anything you put your mind to", and that this country is a meritocracy aside from a select few situations, and racism is "a few bad apples", then certainly a white guy has a shot in an election, considering there's tons of white guys that got the votes of those same black people, for other offices.
