Phthisis posted:I live only a block from some luxury apartments, the cheapest studios of which cost my full paycheck, but also 6 months ago someone was shot and killed directly outside my apartment. Also there's a police helicopter I can see circling all night outside my window every day. This is the real problem with Baltimore. Either you can live in a one bedroom in a fancy building for $1500+ a month or you can rent a 3 bedroom house for $900 a month in a place where you are definitely going to get robbed or beaten or at least have your car broken into multiple times. One of the reasons why I love Philadelphia is that there's actually some places in the loving middle. Like not crazy expensive but still safe.

from my experience growing up in cleveland people always wanted to say they were from cleveland because it made them seem tougher even though they lived in white flight suburbs and never seen anyone nonwhite before is it like that in baltimore?

Most would have at least seen a non-white person either cleaning their house or working s service job, or when their Karen mom called the cops on some for being in their neighborhood

Since the 90's lots of NE cities have gentrified like whoa and pushed all their poor people out to crumbly old inner ring suburbs so the wannabe badass suburbanites are actually getting more cred by the day

They are separate jurisdictions, but have the same name. Thus, some guy from Arbutus or Cockeysville gets to say he's from Baltimore without it being technically false. When once the city held nearly a million people, now it's in danger of slipping under the 500,000 mark, most of the lost populace having moved out into the Baltimore County suburbs. And Montgomery and Prince George's Counties (suburbs of Washington DC) have larger populations than even Baltimore County nowadays. Former Baltimore Sun Moscow bureau chief and author of "Not in My Neighborhood" and "Ghosts of Johns Hopkins" Antero Pietila put it as Baltimore having been an important city, but now being a branch-office town. The paper he used to work for, for example, was bought up by a gnome-faced real estate guy from Chicago. There is no Moscow bureau anymore.

It's like any other large city with a dead industry related wave of economic depression (cars in Detroit, expansions of ports of Savannah and Virginia kicking the poo poo out of the port of Baltimore, coal towns in PA and WV, etc.), the "bad" areas get hyped up by scared whites who want to gawk at a hard life in their own backyard. Yeah, lovely areas like in The Wire exist and they sort of just pop up suddenly a couple of blocks from gentrification with no real defining line of "bad area" and "good area." It's honestly fine, I've walked alone in Baltimore, gotten shitfaced at the harbor before/after a concert, etc. There's some fuckin' great food once you get away from the areas they're trying to make touristy.

It’s apparent even in upper class suburbs. Just look at the roads!!

I moved to Baltimore a few years ago and tbh other than the systemic and political issues plaguing the city for a generation I kind of love it. I've found that people who have the patience to put up with Baltimore city life are chill af and know how to have a good time. It has a weird identity where it doesn't really feel like a Northern city or a Southern city which, as someone raised in the south by born and bred New Yorkers, feels weirdly like a place where I belong.

In season 2 a district commander ultimately gets a local stevedore union all but annihilated because of a personal slight (a stained glass window in a church. I mean there was more to it’s destruction than that but that’s the only reason he cared

sliami posted:I go to art school there and it's pretty cool. I went to the fancy art museum you need to get waitlisted to visit on a field trip, and got a cool shirt and free soup. Probably won't get to go back this fall but I am making my peace with this. If I do get to go back, I will visit Divine's grave. That museum is bizzare. I felt like I was visiting a ufo cult.
