The prison has ZERO impact on students. Most activities are on campus. In fact, when you go into town, you don't see or pass it at all (downtown is in the opposite direction). Same when I drive there from this area.

I think I have seen it twice in her four years, when we had to go to Walmart (you drive by it).

Baltimore has 20 jails and prisons. [b]You pass one (where executions take place)[/b] every time you take the shuttle from the Homewood Campus to the Medical Campus. It does not prevent too many people from considering Johns Hopkins.[/quote]

Baltimore does not have 20 jails and prisons.  And you most definitely don't pass one where executions take place because Maryland abolished the death penalty in 2013.  [/quote]

Well the government thinks there are 20 jails/prisons there:

When I went there, the bus from Homewood to the medical campus went through the prison grounds (on a street that bisects it) everyday. And I remember seeing death penalty protestors outside the day that an execution was scheduled.

So, my execution detail was dated, but my point that good schools can exist in cities with prisons/jails still stands.[/quote]

That jail was closed by Hogan during his first term.

Perhaps you should start a thread or write a book about the history of Baltimore.

You are, however, being quite dense about the PP's point.[/quote]

There’s no substance to pp’s point.[/quote]
