    i'm sure every city has it's little quirks but baltimore has a couple notable geographical oddities.

    "the block" is a span of a few blocks actually. it's the shady red light district in central baltimore. it's actually so infamous that i've seen it show up on google maps. it even has it's on wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The…)

    at the terminal end of the street is a large police station. massive building. it takes up an entire block. the street that this all resides on? baltimore street

    • haha, right next to Pitt St police station in central Glasgow is the red light district. Pitt St is also an utterly massive buildingkelpie
    • building, taking up a whole blockkelpie
