Maryland was a slave state though and is south of the Mason-Dickson line. Baltimore had a notable riot on Pratt Street between confederate sympathizers and a Union Militia which was aided by the BPD. The sympathizers lost but did a lot of damage and caused some casualties.

There was a lot of tension in Baltimore that lasted far beyond the war. There was also a small percentage of Maryland residents who did go fight for the Confederacy. The statues are echos of all that. Obviously though we don’t need to keep and display them.

The same reason any place does? Really wealthy racists.

I mean, why does Baltimore even have confederate statues, even if they're in storage? Baltimore and Maryland weren't part of the Confederacy. Heck, if there's Civil War statues they should be Union statues.

of course, we all know the real reason a city like Baltimore had Confederate statues.

I went to a metal show there recently. $10 for 5 bands

Holy frijoles!

They can be replaced with a statue of General Giap since you conservatives love your statues of Americas enemies

Ottobar

Read this speech from the vice president if the confederacy at the time of the civil war and then try explaining why it's a good idea to have statues of the representatives and military brass of that failed nation anywhere in public. https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/1861stephens.asp

In addition to Kmic14's recs, all of which I cosign: Koco's for some of the consensus best crab cakes in the city and Cafe Campli for good Italian food. I keep trying to get people to go to the latter because it just opened up a block and a half from my house and I really want it to stay lol.

Zeke's (coffee/sandwich joint) is right there, too.

We got a Ring without those door camera things (i.e., just the door sensors). It was the cheapest option.

Nothing of value was lost

As they should tbh

Howdy potential neighbor. It's good here.

Anyone know where the storage location is ?

We had two confederate statues to vandalize just hanging out?

There's so many shows coming up I can't afford to go to all the ones I want, in both time and money.

https://dcheavymetal.com/ website covers both DC and Baltimore shows, DC Metal Chris keeps track of area metal shows, big and tiny and this website is a treasure.

Well can you blame him? It's the exact same kind of dumb whattaboutism argument you see from Fox News viewers.

Might as well destroy them.
