I live in Baltimore county, I have avoided downtown for the last few years, this is why. I will NEVER go downtown again.
I live in the outskirts of Cleveland and love to go downtown, however, I must run the risks of the surrounding neighborhoods to get there. Life is a gamble, and to get to downtown Cleveland is one of those gambles.
Years ago I was helping out a Christian woman who had no family and became paryalized. She was in a Rehab center in Baltimore. It was absolutely miserable back then with black hate and violence.
