Also, it was nice to walk the promenade that went around the whole Inner Harbor.
That being said, you only had to go 5-10 blocks west of it and it turned a bit sketchy. We made a mistake in staying in a hotel a few blocks west of the Inner Harbor 10 years ago and it was not really cool to be outside at night. The Marriott on the Inner Harbor is my favorite place to stay in Balamer.

The city is undergoing some major changes right now. Yes it’s still loosing population at an alarming clip *I take the figure with a grain of salt* but there’s is truck loads of investment going on right now
The Pavillions are going to get demo’d and replaced (by what) is anyone’s guess.
Harbor Point/East has 4 buildings U/C right now so it’s going to only get more upscale especially with more retail coming (Patagonia anyone)
West side is still rough but investment is definitely starting to pour in along Howard Street, MLK and around the CFG arena.
