| Comment | Oh that's cool! Did you live/from there? I lived in one of the nicest bits, and even then it was fucking *hairy* sometimes (although generally nice). I lived at one end of Paterson Park, and literally a street or two down the other side it'd be boarded up windows and no streetlamps.
I used to get dropped off in the Baltimore Pier, and I'd go running down a random street to get to know the place more. Told folk at work and they were **mortified**.
But yeah I do see the overlap, definitely: slightly unfairly bad rep, relatively cheap housing, distinct character, small physical distance between wildly different levels of deprivation. |
