I lived in St. Petersburg in the 60s, my parents left Baltimore when I was nine years old. However, I moved back when I was 39. A lot of yuppies have moved to the city and live there because of the night life, the Inner Harbor, Johns Hopkins Hospital or Johns Hopkins University (they're located about 5 miles apart). Most older folks have gone to the suburbs.

If you go to one of the sports games, O's or Ravens, the Inner Harbor or the bar district known as Fells Point, you'll probably be OK. Anywhere else, keep alert, even JH Hospital is in a bad area. Fells Point reminds me of Savannah Riverfront.
