I live near your location. It is good. Parking can be found. There is a parking garage on Read St and small time property owners rent space on their property, sometimes it is where an alley street once stood. My main complaint of the area, is the ever increasing noise. As bigger buildings are creeping in, their HVAC systems can sound like a jet engine running 24/7. This is esp true of MD General Hospital. Uni Balt is on the rise with its noise pollution. The Stafford Hotel Apts have a squeaky HVAC system which whines away.
