Looks like this was quite a success for Baltimore!
“Sail 250 Maryland and Air Show Baltimore drew over 600,000 visitors to Baltimore in June, generating $114.5 million in economic impact, according to a report released by the Living Classrooms Foundation.

In June, Dan Taylor, president of the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore, said the city expected 200,000 to 250,000 people to attend the event.”

“After DPW’s Reedbird site is renovated and other conditions are achieved, Baltimore’s most popular trash and recycling facility – on property coveted by a developer – can be shut down, mayoral group says”

Neighborhood groups were in shock when their opposition to the Falls Road site turned into closure instead. They weren’t paying much attention to all the drivers pushing things forward. And this is the unfortunate outcome for NIMBYs. Same taxes, fewer services, and one less project for the city to have to coordinate.
