Um, we sail our yacht to Annapolis all the time. It's beautiful, what with the Naval Academy and town square, and has tons of great restaurants. How badass can this corner be?
Well if anyone is gonna have his finger on the pulse of what's really going on in a city it's gonna be the dude who occassionally visits there in his yacht
Clay St isn't that bad compared to other areas. But, if you're white and walking around there after dark, you will be approached, you will be asked what you're doing there, and you will be told to turn the fuck around (this is preferable to walking around Admiral's Crest after dark and being arrested as a "suspicious person" because money isn't oozing from your pockets).
It is much better than Robinwood, Newtowne, or any of the other projects, though.
Annapolis isn't Baltimore, but for a town this size, there shouldn't be as many muggings/assaults as there are in the police blotter.
Baltimore inner harbor has tons of docks. Baltimore is a festering shithole, and the one time we sailed there it took 4 hours to scrub the black sludge off of the hull, and we literally pulled up a tire with the anchor. Nasty place.
