“ Baltimore's Inner Harbor Tourist Attraction Has Died”

I distinctly remember how up-and-coming the inner harbor area was. Back in the late 80s and early 90s. The reason I know this is because back then I was in the middle of my career as an officer with MSC. Military Sealift Command Department of, The Navy, https://www.msc.usff.navy.mil/

There wasn’t an Officer on the Ship that did not enjoy going ashore here because of the nightlife.

Loads of money was dropped here. The inner harbor had terrific places to eat, drink, and chase ladies. Back in those days I was First Mate / Chief Mate XO-OTC = Executive Officer Of The Vessel. Use any label you see here. They’re all the same. It never ceases to amaze me the power that “Officers Ice Cream Uniforms,” had on women.

That was the nickname that all officers called our summer and winter dress whites. The only difference between summer and winter white uniforms?? was one set 3 had long sleeves, and that was it. But I digressed.

I had heard over the years just how bad the inner harbor had become. Men and women getting robbed left and right. By “black mongrels”, Preying on white people. I’m not kidding anybody that reads this. There was one girl that I stayed in touch with out of all the ones I met that had a beautiful condo overlooking one of the yacht basins.

The last time I talk to her about 4 years ago, she gave me an earful about everything that I had went on since the last time we saw each other. During the conversation, she kept trying to check herself so she wouldn’t come off sounding racist.

I felt sorry for her. Because of the way that entire environment growing up being menaced by what I call the, “Overshadowing, Disgusting, Egotistical Black Menacing Evil plague.”

She’s not the only one that I’ve had conversations with concerning what the menacing black plague has done to various areas where they lived in their state. I have another example that has hit close to home.

A lady that I have known since I was right about 22 she was 26 back then. I’m 65 now. Let’s just say she has a nickel or two. (Wealthy.) her and her deceased husband raise 2, absolutely outstanding good boys. In the Pensacola area. Both of them grew up to be big boys and to be rabid hockey fans.

When I say, BIG, I mean in size. Their father was a big man. The one in particular, Patrick had been married for about a year and a half and his wife was from the Philadelphia area and wanted to move back home if anything for a while.

Even though she does have family in the Pensacola area. So they moved into a very nice apartment in what was considered a good part of town. After being there right about a year, Patrick got jumped coming out of the stadium where he had a job at working for the hockey team.

He was hired before he even left Pensacola. The job paid him $135,000 a year. Two black guys jumped him, and he wasn’t about to give up his money. So one of them shot him in the leg because he had the other one in a headlock and, was pretty close to snapping his neck.

Later on, we found out this disgusting animal wound up with a bad neck for a few months in the family. Tried suing Patrick and his wife, of course. His mother hired what is considered the most prominent law firm here in Pensacola, and in Florida.

The “Levin Papantonio Rafferty“ even though criminal law is not this firms forte, they have tremendous connections, nationwide because of several cases they’ve handled since 1955. https://www.levinlaw.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwrpOiBhBVEiwA_473dBqUo33mxJEpKFdudd7t698yoomKzws_78gTvaZldmvSDoCm_cN2IxoCk8IQAvD_BwE

So the mother wound up spending over $30,000 defending her son. Over a crime that he didn’t do. One of the lawyers that defended him told him it’s too bad that this didn’t happen down here in Florida.

You could have defended yourself with one of the handguns your father left you and your brother, and killed him, and nothing would’ve happened much out of it. You definitely would not have gotten sued.

To wrap this up, his mother and some other family members was on a plane the next day, and within two weeks his mother had every bit of their stuff, packed up and moved back to Florida.

Oh, when she flew up one of the lawyers from the Firm flew up with her. The mom is the type that doesn’t take any shit. And now, he doesn’t never want to go to another Democrat hell hole, no matter how much money it would pay.

Democrats have ruined every damn city. Did they become a mayor of. It doesn’t matter if they’re white or black. If they’re black, they actually wind up destroying the city even faster. Just like they did in South Africa. TOWN. AFTER. TOWN. BLOCK BY BLOCK.

Houston tried to 'revitalize' downtown Houston, but it never really took off. Suburban white people probably didn't feel comfortable with black men panhandling and laying around the streets. A ton of apartment homes and quite a few restaurants and clubs sprung up organically just south of the downtown area, but it's plagued by black crime: hold-ups with guns, robberies, the usual.

I won't be surprised if this area falls apart.

The vast increases of Houston's population are occurring in entirely new areas well outside of Houston in all directions. That's where people are moving to: the suburbs.

I remember being in, downtown Houston back in the late 80s. And from what I could tell back then and please correct me if I’m wrong, but this may have been during the time that you’re talking about when they were trying to turn it around now. Am I right or wrong about the time.???

I started living in Houston in 1989, after the big oil price bust in 1986, so I can't really remember. The latest push for downtown centrally-planned (city planned), was more recent, like maybe 15 years ago. Some theatrical venues, city library, the baseball stadium, convention center, Toyota center (basketball) have been downtown for a pretty long time. It's not dead in downtown Houston. It's more lively in Mid-town, which is 3/4 mile South of the City center. But crime has always been a problem there. Joggers!
