West Baltimore St, Poppleton

If you are not a native of Baltimore, W. Baltimore Street can be a little scary west of Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. The city is trying to renovate some old buildings and developments from east to west but otherwise, this street runs through one of Baltimore's ghettos. A positive though...this street is lined with many churches seeming to be located on every corner. W. Baltimore Street is not the safest street to walk with a family at night., again, especially if you're not a Baltimore native. You can get in a lot of trouble around here.

Baltimore St can be busy at different times year round. This is due mainly to it being the home of the 1st Mariner Arena. Because the arena holds concerts, orchestras, etc year round, you can never be sure when exactly you might run into heavy traffic. When I visited Baltimore for a concert two years ago I sat in traffic for a little while, but I’ve been told that it’s not that busy of a street on other days.
