[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious…for those who live or work in Baltimore.  How would you compare the safety of JHU with university of Chicago?  I remember going to admitted students day at JHU in the 80s and there was kind of a split of opinion among students about how safe it was to walk around and venture off campus.  My own kid is looking at schools now and I’m having trouble assessing the safety/risk of JHU.

We used to go to Baltimore monthly or so for games, museums, etc.—-but that was 10-15 years ago, although we still went at least a few times a year up until probably 5 years ago.  [/quote]

[b]The area around Hopkins undergrad is safe — I think UChicago is in a worse area.  Baltimore’s crime remains very much centered in its poorest neighborhoods, as long has been the case.[/b]

There are many downtown neighborhoods that are quite nice and popular —Harbor East, Canton, Federal Hill, Fell’s Point, and Locust Point.  In the midtown area, there is Hampden, Remington, and Station North.  The inner Harbor is just not a big attraction anymore with the buildings empty— people just hang out in different parts of the city these days but I would say the restaurant/going out scene in the city is better than it was 10 years ago.  I am looking forward to the redevelopment of Harbor Place, going to be interesting to see its next iteration.[/quote]

Lol, no they are not!  What a load of crock, ie. the doctor shot after parking his car but he was lucky his friends were waiting in the ER to save his life!  If it were safe it the slightest way, Hopkins would not be lobbying to put their own police force in place.  Baltimore, including the neighborhoods you mentioned, ie. the mother pistol whipped in broad daylight while walking her infant just for shits and giggles by three black teenagers, are not any safe.  Your post is very misleading.  My dentist has a long time office in Canton and is now closing the location and moving to a location in Washington/ Popular Hill in NW Baltimore because they have lost so many clients do the crime and threat of crime it's not feasible to stay in business any longer.  Your post is very misleading Mayor Scott.[/quote]
