West Franklin St, Harlem Park

W. Franklin St. runs only west just north of Downtown. There are many nice little eateries that line the street as it skirts the upper part of Downtown. It's easy to drive as the lights are synchronized but don't drive too fast because the bumps in this road can be a killer. Many trucks travel it trying to make their way to rt. 40, another main highway in Baltimore, maybe that's why the road is a little beat up (but so are most roads in Baltimore). Because of this, be careful when crossing the streets. You might get hit if you're not careful.
