I had heard, that tourism in Baltimore was down, after the riots. The major tourist zone at the Inner Harbor isn’t too far from the bad neighborhoods, from what I’ve been told, and people were scared to go there.

I had also heard, that the tourist/convention business in Baltimore was taking a hit after the riots.

I would hate to be mayor or police chief in a place such as Baltimore. You face these no win situations. Let the criminal element have free reign, and you can damage major sectors of the economy, for example. I heard that some businesses in downtown Baltimore were seeking to relocate, after the riots. Their employees don’t feel safe, and/or have been crime victims.

And apparently, judging by their record, nobody wants to play for the Orioles.

There’s a conference I usually go to, they switch cities every year.

This year: Baltimore.

Me: NO WAY!!!

Attacks are now frequently happening at the Inner Harbor. The Baltimore hierarchy and the Press are trying to keep much of it silenced because tourism is already tanking.
