Someone got carjacked outside there just a few weeks ago at the Crossfit. Digital Harbor ain't the best neighbor to have next to your fancy apartment complex.

If armed robberies and carjackings were a deterrent for development.....we wouldn't be building anywhere in Baltimore. What's the point of your post?Someone got carjacked outside there just a few weeks ago at the Crossfit. Digital Harbor ain't the best neighbor to have next to your fancy apartment complex.

Back in 2013 one dark night, I returned from work and parked alongside the hill, facing southbound just off Key Hwy, when I decided to walk to the Royal Farms and back.If armed robberies and carjackings were a deterrent for development.....we wouldn't be building anywhere in Baltimore.

When I returned to along Key Hwy to turn up the hill, I used my key to unlock my car (this flashes the running head/tails lights to on) when I noticed a car behind my car, running while in park with someone else looking inside my passenger window.
The driver backed up quickly slightly bumping the car behind him, then he and his accomplice pulled out and drove off in a hurry.
A woman walking up the hill turned and made eye contact as if to say: "Right on time".
When I described this to my supervisor, he responded how I averted my car possibly being stolen.
These individuals were considerably older than teenagers and looked like they belonged to the immediate neighborhood. They were not the visitors one might see playing basketball).
I assumed that to be one of the safest places in town to park. Although, what can I say when you drive a high-profile Stang.
Since then, 414 Light and 1 Light St. are being constructed and 10 Light has been updated.
Get the Point?

Did anybody else see 414 Light St. at night on Eyewitness News at 6:30 from the top of the TransAmerica Bldg?
Go Ravens!!!
It's the city, things happen in every neighborhood. I am confused as to whether this is a negative or positive post.Back in 2013 one dark night, I returned from work and parked alongside the hill, facing southbound just off Key Hwy, when I decided to walk to the Royal Farms and back.

Yeah, I mean it’s not like the Ritz Carlton is across the street or anything...oh wait.Someone got carjacked outside there just a few weeks ago at the Crossfit. Digital Harbor ain't the best neighbor to have next to your fancy apartment complex.
lmao seriously. Tom Clancy's old 1.5 mil condo is LITERALLY a well hit baseball away. I think the place can deal with rowdy teenagers waiting for the bus.
Anyway, I braved the criminals, drug addicts, and teens to get this shot today. Nothing to see, really.

Dead ahead: The Crossfit previously mentioned. To the right: The high school that's the cause of all the consternation. To the left: Pierside Apartments.
Not pictured but due left of the source of the shot: the Ritz-Carlton condos.

The students are going to complain that they have lost their water/skyline view!
Definitely a big mid rise hahaThanks for getting this thread started. I think any residential development that brings 224 units on line is worthy of its own thread, even if it's not a high-rise.
There's steel on site now. I don't know if it's enough of it to say "the" steel is on site, but at least some it. Seems to be moving quickly, wasting no time.
It's more than just a city thing, and "things" happen in this neighborhood disproportionately to other neighborhoods and other cities. Not so long ago I lived on Grindall Street near Covington, right around the corner from this site. Car windows were repeatedly smashed, and it was not uncommon for neighbors to get mugged, sometimes with a gun involved. There was a carjacking right in front of my house a few years ago. A lot of this stuff doesn't make the news, and police don't even write up reports for most of it because, as they put it, these things happen all the time here. In the 5 years I lived there, several things happened to me including car windows broken, planters on porch smashed, bicycles stolen from the back yard despite being chained up and behind a locked gate, being harassed/shoved by Digital Harbor students on the sidewalk on my way to work, students smoking weed on my front steps and behind my house, Ravens fans peeing/pooping on my house after games, etc. After a while it got to be too much, so I moved. There's a high turnover rate for residents on Grindall, Cross, Covington and Riverside...largely due to this type of activity that you don't know about until you live there. So it shouldn't be dismissed so quickly, in my opinion. Obviously people still want to live in this area, as evidenced by the demand, but things could be a whole lot better. It always struck me as odd the way people in Baltimore have such a high tolerance for crime, both petty but sometimes violent.It's the city, things happen in every neighborhood.

As I read this, I'm watching CNN and noticing the violent outburst of anger among the Iranians.It's more than just a city thing, and "things" happen in this neighborhood disproportionately to other neighborhoods and other cities.

I've never seen this much violence from these people; protests use to be orderly and against whom they termed the 'evil empire.
The point being is that the amount of crime tends to be proportional to how bad the conditions are.
Baltimore in 2015 was nowhere near as bad as what's happening there now.
So will the teachers.The students are going to complain that they have lost their water/skyline view!
Not only do you make excuses for Baltimore's crime but you side with the world's largest sponsor of terrorism. Hilarious stuff.As I read this, I'm watching CNN and noticing the violent outburst of anger among the Iranians.

And a murder at the nearby Royal Farms is just another day in the neighborhood right? Appeasers and apologists like you along with a F'ed up judicial system and rampant political correctness are the reasons why these crimes continue and no one cares, not even the police. The developers know that as long as mindless 20 somethings think it's cool to live in the city, they will continue to build.If armed robberies and carjackings were a deterrent for development.....we wouldn't be building anywhere in Baltimore. What's the point of your post?
This particular area of the city has virtually zero tolerance for violent crime. The perpetrators of the Royal Farms murder were apprehended within 72 hours out of state. I think it's safe to say that some of the urgency from law enforcement on closing this case was related to the outcry and demands of community members.And a murder at the nearby Royal Farms is just another day in the neighborhood right?

As far as mindless 20 somethings living in the city - one could easily say it is the mindless 30 somethings who are content with living out in the counties. The South Baltimore Peninsula has better public schools and less crime than many surrounding suburban jurisdictions despite the headlines dominating local media outlets.
