I have lived in Baltimore for a few years and am now preparing to leave, so wanted to experience this before leaving, and I'm glad I did. I, as a local, as well as a friend visiting from out of town both equally enjoyed the evening. in a few of the locations it was hard to hear but we just leaned in and it was all good. A fun way to spend an hour in the evening. Nothing too spooky so even kids should be ok.

It also has a ramp to the platform from the parking lot and an elevator, if you can't do stairs. The north-bound platform is on the side with the parking lot. For the southbound platform, you have to either take stairs or the elevator to a pedestrian bridge across the tracks to the opposite side. Beware that the elevator is slow and not very big, so there will likely be a wait to use it.

I went on the fantastic Inner Harbor walking tour. The group tour wasn't being offered then but I…read morecontacted Graham and he was more than happy to take us on the tour at the time of our choosing. Graham is very knowledgeable and able to weave together many different strands of history as he takes you on a journey into Baltimore's past, present, and future. From the great railroad strike of 1877 to more recent instances of workers banding together to improve their lot and attempts by the powers that be to limit free speech, the "people's history" focus of the tour made it an early afternoon well spent. Howard Zinn would be proud! Plus, Graham knows all sorts of interesting and useful tidbits, e.g. the local NFL team's connection to Edgar Allan Poe and where to eat some of the city's best steamed crabs. This tour is definitely recommended if you want an introduction to the real Baltimore.

We've gone on two tours with Graham in Baltimore and thoroughly enjoyed them both. These events…read moreare sort of like walking tours with a performance art aspect (or vice versa). In the two tours we took, our group was led on a walk through neighborhoods around the city, with Graham pointing out often-overlooked features of the urban environment. The major focus is on the confusing and contradictory way the city encourages or discourages pedestrians from using public space, as well as pointing out some of the spontaneous and creative ways people end up using public areas in manners that weren't necessarily intended. It's sort of like a guided walking history tour, except the focus is shifted away from the usual landmarks and historical events and instead toward more mundane things such as traffic bollards, median strips, weird easements, abandoned or dysfunctional infrastructure, etc. (This is much more fun than it probably sounds--his enthusiasm for these topics is quite contagious.) Graham injects a lot of humor into his descriptions and interpretations of these features, and at several points he encourages participants to interact with them in creative ways as "radical pedestrians". It's clear he does a lot of research about the areas involved in the tours, giving background and history where relevant. He is also full of insights about the design of features meant for people on the street and how things can go wrong--unintended consequences, conflict in sharing space with cars, issues when the intended use is ambiguous or confusing, etc. I would recommend these tours for anyone with an interest in urban planning, activism, or performance art--or just a desire to see some of the everyday things we take for granted in a new light. On a personal note, one of the tours we went on happened to be the day of the first major Freddie Gray protest in Baltimore and quite coincidentally came to its conclusion putting us in the middle of a large crowd of people marching downtown. As residents of Baltimore, over the next week we watched as the city dealt with protests and unrest, a curfew, and heavy presence of the police and national guard. It was fascinating (and at times horrifying) to watch these events unfold, and we found ourselves constantly analysing them in terms of topics we had discussed on the tour--people using and "misusing" public space, attempted restrictions on where and when people were allowed to be in public, problems caused by failures of the city's infrastructure, massive ambiguity and confusion about whether it was okay to gather or protest in usually-unrestricted spaces, etc. The usual rules for what it was deemed acceptable and legal to do in public were stood on their head. Our tour couldn't have been better timed for helping us see the issues we had discussed in action during the events that followed.

If you live in Baltimore, you can appreciate the beauty of this old train station. It is the main…read moretrain station in Baltimore and was designed by New York architect Kenneth MacKenzie Murchison. As I said, it is old and was built in 1911 in the Beaux-Art style. Thankfully, there has been some renovations that were completed in 2024 that included a newly polished façade, refurbished windows, new roof, and upgraded lighting. You can now see the beautiful color of the green tiles that were part of the original design of the station that have been hidden for years. It was wonderful to see our local train station restored to its former glory. When you look at the front, you will see five rounded openings and three central archways that are used as the entrances to the station with sets of triple doors. When you step inside, do look up and take in the beautiful, domed, stained-glass skylights. Moving along, there is a waiting area for passengers with old wooden benches. Thankfully, there are elevators to take you down to the tracks if you need it. What is still ugly to me, but fine for others, is the sculpture out front. It just does not go with the beauty of this train station. It was placed there in 2004 and sculpted by Jonathan Borofsky as the centerpiece of a re-designed plaza in front of Penn Station. It is a 51-foot-tall aluminum statue, named Male/Female. You be the judge if it belongs here or not! We used the Red Cap Service at Penn Station in Baltimore to catch our Acela train to New York. Tracey, the Red Cap, was such a help to us. She expertly took us and our luggage down to the train with plenty of time to board, store our luggage in the train car, and get us settled. We were in the quiet car, which we appreciated. Although this Acela was not one of the new trains, we had an uneventful ride to New York with no delays due to the hot weather.
