Be careful

My husband and I bought a rowhouse 14 years ago expecting the neighborhood to improve in many aspects. We've seen areas of Baltimore, like Canton, blossom into a very nice community over the past 14 years. Unfortunately ours has not. We didn't know that we would be "on the wrong side of Baltimore Street" and that the pizza places wouldn't deliver to our house after dark! Three blocks away, the streets are well lit, clean and welcoming. However, on our street, we can't get rid of the drug house and prostitutes. Our police department seems to be overwhelmed in general and can only do so much. Be very careful about the neighborhood you choose to move into. One block is completely different than the next!
