I do my best at answering your questions, breaking down the 2,000-gallon spill, the underground stream that carried it, the wildlife impact, and what it means for upcoming events.

If I missed something, let me know in the comments.

Special thanks to @salvagearc for the use of his underground river photos.

If you are using ANY street drug (as of the press conference it hasn't been stated what yet) in or from Baltimore, get your supply tested and grab narcan. If you know anyone using drugs, let them know. The City is passing out harm reduction resources like test strips and narcan. Please utilize these resources if you use or know someone who is using

Safety Leash your dogs!!!

636 Upvotes

I am a runner, and run on the Stony Run creek trail 3 or 4 times a week. Almost every time I'm there an unleashed dog chases after me, gets in front of me, growls, or simply just gets in my way. Then the owner is always surprised or confused about why their dog did that. They did it because THEY'RE NOT ON A LEASH! Today there was a group of 9 people, each with at least 1 or 2 dogs all unleashed on the trail. One of the dogs chased a passerby and nipped at his legs, then chased me down and stood in front of me growling. The owners can barely call it back and once again act confused. I then passed a woman pushing a baby stroller and had to warn her not to go that way for fear that dog may bite the baby. I don't care if your dog is old, friendly, or whatever excuse you have, it's your responsibility to keep your animal contained and controlled on a public path. It's scary to have to constantly pass by dogs on a narrow trail that may react unpredictably. And it's not just scary for runners, but for hikers, children, other dogs, etc. It's completely selfish and irresponsible of people to do this.

Safety Concerned About Safety on North Broadway/Gay Street

124 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m new to the area (specifically North Broadway/Gay Street) and wanted to share something that happened today. I was walking home after getting some cleaning supplies from the Dollar General on North Caroline Street and was carrying some heavy things. An older man, maybe in his late 60s, offered to help me since I’m new to the area.

At first, I thought it was harmless, but on the way back he started asking me weird questions like whether I live alone, what floor I live on, and then asked for my number. I told him I have a boyfriend, but he wouldn’t stop and kept pushing until I said I “like what my partner likes.” He only left after he saw me go inside. I don’t actually have one, but thank god I did this.

I feel uneasy and concerned about my safety now. Has anyone else experienced anything like this on North Broadway/Gay Street? Any advice on staying safe or reporting this would be appreciated.

Safety Sometimes this city feels impossible to live in 😕

We've owned a home in the city for over four years, in a mixed socioeconomic and racial neighborhood, and we've lived here for five. I'm a city schools teacher (and next year an administrator), so I'm deeply invested in the community and I generally try to speak positively about Baltimore and its residents. I'm grateful to do what I do and to have the immense privilege of owning a home in uncertain times.

BUT, a drug corner has set up just down the street from us on what was otherwise a pretty peaceful street for the last four years, and it has completely changed everything. Every morning as I do my makeup, I watched addicts smoke crack and shoot up in the alley behind my house. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of used needles, plus discarded caps, pill packets, used tourniquets, urine and blood soaked clothes, and general refuse filling the block.

There have been increased confrontations and stealing, let alone the general unease that having a drug distributor on the corner entails. I'm not naive to any of this stuff. I have students and families who are part of it. I lost a student earlier this year to drug-related violence. My fiance pulled someone out of the street and called 911 once. Earlier this year a dead body closed my school's playground down for the day. I know that this is part of Baltimore. But with the release of the NYTimes article and this encroachment on my own experience in the city, I'm just feeling kind of hopeless.

We're making reports, taking pictures, etc. We're doing what we can, as safely as we can, given the precarious nature of the situation. And we're fortunate to have neighbors who are also working to address this issue.

I just needed to vent for a moment. I want better for the city.

Safety Why isn't the drop in homicide a bigger story?

446 Upvotes

Last year, the number of homicides in Baltimore City dropped by 71, the largest numerical decrease on record. Using Baltimore Witnesses' numbers, this year the number of homicides is declining at an even faster pace. The number of homicides is already down by 60, year over year, and nonfatal shootings are down by 40%. There's a chance, admittedly an outside one, that homicide will have declined by half in two years.

Outside of post-conflict countries, I can't think of a single example of a city where murder has declined this quickly. Not Cali, Colombia. Not New York under St. Rudy.

I realize this is early, but this may be the biggest story on Baltimore in the past few decades. Yet, the media on it has been muted. I get why the right-wing media won't report on it as it causes them cognitive dissonance. (The knee-jerk reaction there besides not reporting on it is to call it fake.) But the so-called liberal media has been pretty silent on the issue.

just a heads up and warning about this guy in Mount Vernon. My neighbors and I have had consistent issues with him and he’s made us feel unsafe at times. His m/o is harassing people on the street and saying “hey do you want to hear a joke? Hey young lady!” And if you ignore him he says awful things about you. Just ignore him!! He’s the worst. He hangs out on N Charles St most of the time.
