33 Haunting Photos Of The Abandoned Baltimore Ghetto
By John Kuroski

These haunting photos of the largely abandoned Baltimore ghetto provide a harrowing glimpse of one of the most beleaguered cities in all of America.
 
"It was only a matter of time before Baltimore exploded," wrote veteran Baltimore reporter and resident Michael A. Fletcher in The Washington Post just after the April 2015 riots over the death of Freddie Gray tore the city apart.

With racial unrest as just one problem among many -- including poverty, crime, and drug addiction -- Baltimore has long been among the most widely cited cases of urban blight in post-industrial America.

IMHO,one of the best tv series ever shown was about Baltimore. The title was "The Wire",it was so good it was shocking. The writing and the acting by everyone involved will stand next to any series ever shown as equals.

Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!

In my retirement, I take photos for banks and REO companies.  Broker Price Opinions (BPOs)

Exterior, interior, mechanical, street views and house views all four sides.

Wouldn't go to Baltimore city for THRICE the $$$.

And the same with Washington, DC....unless I know the neighborhoods or zipcodes.
