Baltimore

[Milly]

I feel dumb as hell for living in the inner harbor for 2ish years and not knowing about this damn store. And It's likes 5/6 blocks away from me. I've been shitting on baltimore because they don't have nothing and I find this.

They been open since oct 2005

Speaking of Baltimore... whats it like?
What are the good neighborhoods (for living, drinkin, shoppin, etc).
Hows the weather, hows the people, whats good about it and whats bad?

Just wondering, its on the list as potential spots to live...

Good place to live in baltimore is downtown. Not the city, the inner harbor. That's how they get people. The city in baltimore is the hood. I'm in MT. Vernon it's pretty cool here, depending on how hard you search for a place. If you're renting you can find a place for less than 800 amonth. If you have a dog and don't like leaving them at home. It's a place called Donna's they allow pets.

North Charles Street is filled with resturants all up and down the street.

Then there's Charles Village around John Hopskin Univ. Plenty of shops down there.

Light St. Has some more resturants but very few shops. Mostly business stuff. Though American Apparel is over there and the people that work there are very friendly.

There's The Gallery, with a few clothing stores in there. Downtown Locker room, Gap, Brooks & Bros, Footlocker, Lady foot locker and other high end stores.

There's ALOT of clubs and bars. I perfer Ottabar, they show mad love to Little Brother.

The weather is cool, not a lot of trees so it gets HOT. People are friendly at times.

Myself I just hate that if you're not into clubbin' and drinkin' shit gets boring quick.

[matth]

agreed.

ps---->the ottobar does show "them LB dudes" mad love....

[STEEZ]

yeah thats Oliver and Ed's shop. its like 2 blocks from my house. I like what they are doing over there.

I run the hip Hop shows @ sonar .. I had little brother @ sonar last time with Dilated People last time they came to baltimore.

[matth]

mad cause i'm gonna miss this one...sonar does have some dope acts come thru too. thats where i caught little brother, de la, and talib.

[uvmsb]

anyone catch blueprint/RJD2???

it was sick... yeah, bmore is lacking big time on the shops but Gentei is a nice place and i like what they have done with it. I cant wait till they get an SB account though. i hope some more places start popping up.

Yeah, live downtown and dont expect to get around without a car, public transportation is by far the worse... i mean our two subways dont even fucking meet up... Baltimore has def been coming up in the past few years and im proud but we still have a long way to go. Federal hill has some great bars as does fells point and they are close to 95 which means you can get down to DC quick and to some real shops.

What do you all do for work in bmore?

[matth]

i'm a MIT @ footlocker
