[quote=Anonymous]There's a big, huge valley that separates Roland Park from West Cold Spring, if you're referring to the side across the Jones Falls. The expressway, a large high school complex, Medfield/Hampden, Cold Spring New Town all separate Roland Park from the ghettos further west towards West Baltimore.

Cold Spring isn't a pretty road but the stretch that runs along Roland Park is....what? Just a narrow and busy thoroughfare. Has some nice cafes/restaurants before you get to Loyola. Lots of Loyola kids walk up and down the few blocks of Cold Spring all the time. And RP families go to those restaurants all the time. Miss Shirley's popular. As is the bagel shop.

Cold Spring does get a bit nasty when you get close to Greenmount/York on the Guilford Side (it's "East" Cold Spring over there, FYI.)

Roland Park people never go that far east or that far west. There are certainly problematic areas in Baltimore. No one has pretended otherwise. But it's not like Roland Park is smack flush against a deprived area, unless you consider Hampden deprived. Guilford comes close with the York Road/Greenmount corridor and a tiny bit of Homeland does. [/quote]
