1700 Presbury is where Freddie Gray was arrested. The other two places are places where I lived. Whether I'm black or not (and I might be), I definitely know the territory.
Yeah hear that John, you are lame.

LOL

Which is why your whining is so lame.

Yet, Bolton Hill is about as different as humanly imaginable from the West Baltimore neighborhoods a mile to its west.

Presbury Street may be a mile away but the rough stuff starts basically on the other side of Eutaw Place, a couple of blocks from where I lived. Having lived there, I can assure you that Bolton Hill is in no important way insulated from the influence of Sandtown-Winchester. This was especially true during Monday's rioting when a CVS (Rite Aid?) and a hardware store in Bolton Hill were looted.

And Seton Hill is not Bolton Hill.

I was just trying to comment on the nature of Baltimore's neighborhoods. There are a number of other examples of nice, gentrified and relatively safe neighborhoods that are quite close to some very rough ones.

So wealthy Baltimorians can look out their front door and see scenes like this?

Possibly. I mean if you watch the video long enough you'll see them holding up multiple lanes of city traffic. And this was Baltimore 2007 before all the current mess. And everyone says cops ''pick on people.''
