exactly, not just the harbor area downtown either. Fells Point is certainly no slum anymore, and Canton is as nice as most any parts of DC, the Federal Hill area is one of the most desirable parts of town, and even Patterson Park can be walked through at night without fear of being shot at! The "west-side" project is bringing tons of new condos north of Camden Yards and there are even plans in the works for a Baltimore Chinatown on Howard St. (not that Chinatown is historically the nicest part of cities, but have you ever eaten Chinese food here??? yuk!!)
