    "Long, but that is the fault of I-95 and the closing of I-895. Otherwise it is fine. Easy to get to the freeway, minimal traffic through my are in general. At least I get a chance to get some podcasts in. The afternoon commute is the worst for sure. "

    "I've lived next to riverside park on Barney st. for over two years now. In the time I've been there I've seen young professionals move into foreclosures, clean up the neighborhood, and make it on of the best kept secrets in Baltimore. New restaurants are opening up all along the south end of light street and riverside park even has a pool and lots of community sports teams. School kids walk around to the local elementary school with their parents in the morning and the locals are always friendly (my neighbor routinely walks the sidewalks and does the weedwhacking). I bought my house here as a foreclosure and have taken pride in making it better than when I found it. Just a 10 minute walk from the fed hill nightlife, but still with plenty of on street parking and easy access to the grocery stores at mchenry row, I hope you give this neighborhood a look. Easy access to 95 makes it perfect for commuters as well."
