[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between Baltimore and a lot of other cities is that in Baltimore the neighborhoods are much more patchwork so many nice areas are in close proximity to run down areas. Unlike, say, DC which you can characterize somewhat accurately by quadrant.

The Baltimore suburbs are like suburbs everywhere and run the gamut from cookie cutter to quirky. [/quote]

Ehh. North Baltimore is a pretty solidly affluent and a rather large area, not a patchwork of good/bad neighborhoods. It's comparable to NW DC. If you live along the borders of North Baltimore you can be close to run down areas but people who live in North Baltimore live their lives primarily within the North Baltimore area and aren't driving out and about into the "bad areas." And much of Baltimore isn't bad - it's just working class to lower middle class African American neighborhoods.

One can also say the same for the waterfront areas, it's a continuous belt of neighborhoods around the inner harbor and it's easy to stay within them. You do have to go out of your way to run into areas of despair. And believe me, they are areas of despair. But that's irrelevant to people looking in Towson or Ellicott City or Roland Park. [/quote]
