Stolen from r/Oakland which was stolen from r/Denver
Federal hill at sunset overlooking the harbor is a pretty good place to let loose.
On Halloween one year I got really high and sobbed in the planetarium of the Science Center. It was pretty great.
Can’t beat Edgar Allen Poe’s grave site though.
Looking for some new spots, suggestions?
I don’t really understand this post, but I’ll just randomly suggest the relatively secluded section of Falls Road that runs from Baltimore Bicycle Works in Station North up through the switchback bike path entering the south end of Hampden. Especially the half-circle water fall overlook at the base of the switchback (seems fitting).
Lol thanks for playing along
I have actually cried multiple times on this very stretch. It was my route home from work, so it stands to reason. But this would have been my suggestion.
How about the Moorish tower overlooking the city in Druid Hill Park.
Clicked into this thread to recommend that little observation deck at Round Falls. The deteriorated path down is key to keeping it private enough
In the same general area, I think the little faux-Asian structures with skyline views in Druid Hill Park could work if you go early in the morning. Maybe share your sorrow with some deer
Ha, I recommended the little pavilion across the Lake
Latrobe Pavilion it’s called apparently, according to Google Maps
walks up Fed Hill at sunset for a pretty view
sees half-a-dozen people sobbing at the top
quietly leaves
In Herring Run park's soccer field, there's a large, tall stump if a tree. Great place for a cry with a view
Can confirm. Also my go-to spot. The Herring Run bridge works, too, if you'd rather cry with an audience.
I think the tip of Fort McHenry beats Federal Hill. There is something evocative about watching the giant slow moving barges from whatever port of call they came from and the general industrial tone of it all.
Oh good one. Not to mention the 300 or so British soldiers that died in that water that can cry with you.
Enoch Pratt Library-Central branch
I think the most normal location is around 2a outside of a crowded bar because "i don't want to talk about it! Me and my BF are OVER!"
Another nice on is the UA HQ in Locust Point, looking west seeing the sun set behind the skyline.
Anywhere along the wall overlooking 83 is really nice for those quiet moments
Like Homer in the bushes
A little too public IMO, passers-by on the 83 off ramp can see you.
It was also a makeshift hospital for wounded coming back from Europe in WW1. Gnarly place.
Yes, but I have the high ground.
But anyhow, it takes a lot of dexterity to see up the hill, dodge the holes in the road, and avoid the barriers scattered haphazardly around the immediate area. And even if they could see you clear as day, getting up there isn't easy from the off ramp.
Hey! I’ve cried there too!
M&T Bank Stadium on Sundays
Haha, if you do the UA HQ, better go after the fitness center closes, otherwise you'll be sobbing to the beat of some pumped up jams.
You aren't really crying unless you are standing between two rails.
Any MVA will suffice
The mini concrete bridge/dam over the water next Falls Road (after the falls), off the road between Hampden and Maryland Ave.
Not the overlook at the top of the hill; it's through some greenery and right overtop the water.
Also this thread idea is based.
Anywhere. This is a sad city.
Under almost any bridge.
This has been a cry spot since the 1904 Baltimore Fire when many watched the city burn from here.
Oooh interesting fact! Thanks for sharing that.
A less safe but still effective is the late night car cry. The 195 loop around UMBC is very quiet late at night.
Not necessary. Plenty of places and ways to bury that shit

I’m generally a fan of a good train cry. Not Baltimore exclusive, but the light rail works.
