Heh, well, if you went north (away from the water) you would have hit "The Block," a collection of strip clubs the city allows, in its infinite wisdom, to persist two blocks north of the Aquarium. But it de-sketches if you keep going!

The Harbor these days is just empty compared to the '90s, which certainly makes it feel sketchier. As I said, I don't think it's that dangerous, but I wouldn't say it's a nice place to be, especially at night (side note: "The Block" is dangerous at night), and when friends visit I take them to different neighborhoods for dinner / drinks.

Just adding the link here because I lived in Baltimore and think it's irresponsible that so many Baltimore residents try to hand-wave away how dystopian Baltimore really is. It absolutely is a dangerous place and visitors should be extremely careful if they visit the city. It was already at over 150 murders in less than half a year this past June.

> The violence has not let up with almost 160 murders in the city so far this year.
