Downtown Baltimore doesn't empty out. Downtown DC turns into a ghost town due to all the gov workers heading out.

I disagree that it's vibrant during weeknights except for a few areas.

Quite wrong, my man. Whether it be old city, South Street, Gayborhood, Rittenhouse, Chinatown, it all has activity on weeknights. The shops close at 7, but the bars and restaurants keep everything going well until about 2 AM. In addition, Manayunk, Fishtown, NoLibs, Passyunk, Temple, Ucity, Bella Vista, all have plenty of people running around until late in the night.

The only crap part of downtown, which I wish they would knock down, is the area between Market East station, and 5th and Market. It just sucks. Knock it down already.

This is so true.

Athens, OH.

It goes from looking like Indiana, PA to bustling once it hits dark on Court Street.

Barely not impressive for its size and I disagree that it's huge. It needs a building boom!
