Reply to Anyone recently lived in one of these places - 1405 Point, The Eden, Crescent, Union Wharf? by DaleDuzit

I lived in Union Wharf for about a year. People were really nice and amenities were great. Reason I moved out? 1) small unit for what you pay. 2) I lived on the 5th (top) floor and the water pressure would be really really poor at times. It sounds stupid until you realize you have to plan when you shower and/or wash dishes. Another top floor issue… during the summer the unit would struggle to cool down. If I recall, it was a pretty mild summer, but I could easily see when one of those classic 2 week periods of 95+ temps hits… would be quite uncomfortable.

Reply to Anyone recently lived in one of these places - 1405 Point, The Eden, Crescent, Union Wharf? by DaleDuzit

I have friends in 1405, Crescent, and Union Wharf.

1405 is absolutely awful right now, there’s very big loud construction sites on both sides of the building. I thought the units were small and the amenities were meh.

Union Wharf has the nicest amenities, sort of small units here too. I like hanging out in the common areas when I visit my buddy here. I think you can pay a premium and get a nice harbor view here as well.

Crescent is an older building, not great amenities either, but the size of the units and the harbor views from some of the units are some of the coolest places I’ve seen in Baltimore.

Where is the Eden? I haven’t heard of that one.

Edit: Also wanted to add that the staff at Crescent is super nice too. 1405 and Union were a lil snooty.

It’s a pretty nice area—decent number of young people and has shopping and things in the area. I have a friend who works at Loyola and lives down there—she likes it. The only thing is that it’s not super close to campus. It would be a TREK to go from LP to campus without a car.

Reply to Charles Theatre Dog Promo by platypusbear8

That Promo still makes me cry EVERYTIME I go to The Charles. COVID took one of my favorite experiences away and that little short truly captures that spark of magic a movie theater brings. I'm so glad the community was able to find it so quickly! Thank you to everyone involved!!

The same family that owns Ananda also now owns Peerce's. Haven't tried it yet, but given my similar lack of enthusiasm about the Ambassador when it was run by them, I'm not in a rush to trek out there. I did, however, use to really enjoy the upscale Lebanese restaurant they used to run in the Carlyle on University called the Carlyle Club. That's one place I really miss.
