[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly, part of living in BMore is having to explain why you live in BMore.

I think it is a badge of honor though some perceive it as a tear drop tattoo. [/quote]

Ha! Love it. And extra points for a Cry Baby reference.

20 years in Baltimore (Charles Village/Hampden) and one broken window is the extent of the crime I’ve experienced. And despite what PP says about how “BLM destroyed Baltimore” (lol) I’ve had some very nice property appreciation.[/quote]

I bought a rowhouse in 1999 for $135k and sold it in 2005 for $325k, bought a single family house in Homeland for $450k that’s now worth at least $650k. But I will probably never sell because I’m not willing to give up my $1800 monthly mortgage payment.

Never had a crime but my neighbor lost some change from his car when he left it unlocked one time [/quote]

DP. Yup.  This is the stuff of any urban area. Even in the suburbs,  I've had the change rummaged out of my car (they also took a baggie of cornstarch for my baby's rash. I wonder if they thought they had hit the jackpot and would have loved to see their faces when they found out what it was). Also had a shooting across the street in our close-in DMV suburb.

I think some people just don't  get cities. Not sure why Baltimore is singled out.
When I was at Oxford, my neighbor was attacked in her home and someone tried to break into mine. (And, someone stole my bike to boot). Way scarier than the boys who wanted to "borrow" my phone in Baltimore! I was like "sorry guys," and it was fine. [/quote]
