The city isn’t shirking. It’s a mass exodus of former low income residents. The city has done nothing but rise in median income over the last 10 years. Number of households have increased, but the number of families has decreased.

Because you your original point was grocery stores don’t want to come here. They’re here and they do open up as evident by them several very recent grocery store openings in various parts of the city.

Yes, no shit. Why would any business open up where it isn’t profitable. Location matters with everything.

Cherry Hill has options. I know because my grandmother lives there. I take her to the grocery stores nearest. They also have access to fresh produce and such at the Cherry Hill Shopping Center. And there are options for people in Sandtown as well.

You’re now moving into moving goalpost territory. We weren’t talking about food deserts. You went on some BS rant and I called you out on the plot holes in your narrative. You then tried moving goalposts and gaslighting. So that where the confusion came from. Below I’ve copied and pasted your direct quote to help with your confusion:

“For too long, Baltimore City (and Maryland state) government(s) have had no urgency for economic policy and infrastructure investment geared toward the city's overall population growth and stimulating business demand. As a result, there's a drag on the presence of amenities in this city; and in my opinion, this plays out most vividly in the food sector, both retail and restaurants. Grocery stores don't want to come here & restaurants open today, go out of business tomorrow, and have early closing hours in the interim. It's all pathetic given the city's beauty, potential, and youthful vibe---there could be a booming night time economy here.”

Dude a Giant just opened up in Locust point last week.. Northwood Commons by Morgan got a Lidl…they opened the Streets Markets in Greektown and Charles Village a few years ago. Ironically both of the last 2 were developed by Bramble.

And cool, hip new restaurants open every other day. Do you even live in Baltimore? It’s a global “post Covid” adjustment. This issue is happening downtowns across the nation.

Absolutely not. I call it “Sniff & Bump” affectionally. The owner was caught in a huge blow bust 10 years ago. Dude got caught like 7 kilos in Northern Va. he also owns that Rita’s between eastern/fleet here and hey found more blow + various other party drugs + a shitload of money and if I’m not mistaken a gun or 4. There’s been serval bar owners between canton and fells that have been busted for blow thru the years.

I didn’t mean Brewers opened 15 years ago to clarify. Dionysus closed in 2011. And then club chuck was closed for several years between now and 2011. There weren’t as many mid ranges spots when Liam Flynn and Daughtery’s closed. But now there’s so many quality alternatives in adjacent neighborhoods

It’s ok to defend Brewers. It’s nice that there’s more options at various price points in the area now. Sadly. Lost some great late night spots for sure. Lost city dinner in particular. You should definitely check out Royal Blue tho, I’ve been a couples. The food and drinks are great and then at night it’s quality dance party under the disco ball

Well, for starters more places opened up in Mount Vernon. When Brewers Art first opened it was one of few reasonable causal places to drink and hang out. It was super cool, voted by Esquire mag as one of the best bars in the US. As well as food awards. But that was 15 years ago. There’s now there’s more places within a 5 block radius.

They now have weird hours and would rather close early post pandemic. They were closed for a long time too during the pandemic. Station North, Old Goucher and Remington have also stolen the night life crowd in central Baltimore, so it’s more of a pregame and dinner spot. I used to live at Brewers for late night happy hour in the dungeon when Beasley, Joe, Eric, etc were there great times.

Hard disagree. I’ve had zero problems getting food here even at 3am. Especially when I lived in MV with The Spot, Michelangelos pizza, University market, Jung kak and Ravens Pizza. Miss when Never on Sunday was open until 3 am.late night pizza and hot dogs in fells at the square and the various halal food trucks.

All Marko’s pizza and Ny Fried chicken spots are open late too .

From the same source,

“Pandora will keep its nearly 90,000 square feet in Baltimore, expanding its North American office footprint with its Times Square deal.

Pandora plans to move into 1540 Broadway next year and keep its downtown Baltimore offices at 250 West Pratt Street until 2026, according to an announcement from Pandora.”

How about we read articles and process information before we go off on tangents.
