I would rather avoid Columbia, myself. It gives me the creeps. It's like you know you're out of the Baltimore area as soon as you've hit Columbia... you can feel it in your bones. We were seated next to some folks in a Columbia restaurant one time who weren't even aware that Baltimore was just up the road. What's that about?

Everything in it is designed to be 15 minutes from everything else. You never have to leave, so while it's very weird that they don't know Bmore is so close, it's not really that surprising. It's not unpleasant, but I'm not a big fan of it -- it's so [i]bland[/i]. The Mango Grove is awesome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am extremely unlikely to have anything more exciting going on for any given weekend and the occasions where I do it usually springs up at the last minute.[/quote] Don't know about everybody else, but I'm all hellbent on checking out Baltimore proper 'cause I've never been there. Plus I want to check out the Comedy Factory. So husband and I, at least, are perfectly happy to come all the way up to Baltimore, no problem.

Elrostar Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Baltimore is just an awesome place. Why, just the other day someone got on the MARC train with an AK-47, headed down to DC. The cops chased him through a couple of train cars and hit him with a taser a few times until he eventually went down. An unlicensed taxi driver took him to the station, but the driver at least had the sense to call the cops after dropping him off... But you know, that's over on the west side. Not where we'll take you out of towners :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elrostar Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Yeah, I'm glad I take the Camden Line to work. We don't get that kind of drama on my train. Apparently that's reserved for the Penn line. I was taking it home the other day (I'd been in DC for a conference and had missed my normal train home) and some people on the train were talking about it. I only saw a tiny piece about it in the paper. I would have thought it would get more coverage. I mean, even for Baltimore, AK-47s, on the train at 7:15 on a Wednesday morning? That's pretty hardcore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The outdoor equipment expo part of it was held at a huge park that looked like it would have been nice maybe 50 years ago. It's the only time I recall going to an equipment expo and seeing it completely surrounded by police cars. I remember the bus from the hotel to the park going through Scary Areas too. Anyhow, I may try to make it to this one. Any suggestions on how someone would go about getting from here (Northern VA) to there if one didn't want to drive? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get to BWI, I believe there's a Light Rail station there. The Light Rail works pretty well, although it's not real fast; unfortunately, it stops running at like 11:00, which makes no sense. Are you planning to spend the night in Bmore?
