Whoa - Baltimore's downtown isn't very nice.
For this edition of dashboard tours, I wanted to drive through downtown Baltimore. I had been to Baltimore several times in the past, but most of the areas I had seen were the burned out and crime ridden sections on the northwest side of town. So I exited off of I95 and went into downtown Baltimore on a cloudy morning in late March. It was 10 in the morning.
As you’ve likely heard, Baltimore is one of the worst cities for crime, and even its downtown area has signs of inner city blight. However, before we get to downtown, I wanted to show the bright side to downtown Baltimore. This area is called Fells Point. It’s a very well maintained part of town along the inner harbor with shopping and dining. This is really the only part of downtown where you can feel kinda safe, although the day before I arrived, a woman had disappeared from this very street, and the police were searching for her body in the water.
Now we’re going downtown. Our route is gonna wind through several blocks of business, retail and whatever entertainment Baltimore has in this part of town. Here’s the exact route we’ll be taking. I found downtown to be somewhat quiet, sort of clean, but devoid of any real energy. A lot covid lockdowns and the rioting which took place here seemed to have sapped whatever positive vibe and energy Baltimore’s downtown once had. And while some parts of downtown seemed somewhat inviting, you turn a corner, and you remember you’re in Baltimore again.
Here’s the rest of downtown Baltimore, one of the most dangerous cities in the US.
