You have a substantially better chance of getting into a car accident on the way to/from Baltimore than being carjacked. You basically have to win the crime lottery because it’s very rare. I wouldn’t worry about it in the least.

Good to know

There’s a garage next to soundstage. It’ll take a little bit to get out if you leave right when the concert ends but you’ll literally be right there.

Soundstage is like 5 minutes from the highway, you’ll be fine.

Park at harbor park garage. You’ll be fine.

The odds you get car jacked by soundstage of all places, especially at 11pm when there will be a ton of people still around is 0.000000001% you’ll be fine

I completely agree that the likelihood of getting carjacked is extremely small. I am in no way suggesting that you are in danger. However one trick that I do in neighborhoods that I'm worried about, is when I pull up to a light I keep ample space between me and the car in front of me, If I needed to suddenly pull out and go around the car in front of me I'd be able to do it.

And, very sincerely, you are quite safe.

Make sure to keep your lights off and never signal, you’ll fit right in

Are you going to see DVSN this weekend too👀👀👀

My tip for driving in Baltimore at any time of day is wait a second or two after the light turns green to make sure you don’t get t-boned.

This! My God, this!

you'll

be

fine

Also, when you leave the garage, don’t get in line at the kiosk on the first floor to pay, go up a flight and pay there, you’ll be out in no time

I've driven through downtown Baltimore around 3am-4am on the way home to NJ from a 14hr straight drive from Georgia. It was nice and quiet.

I drive to soundstage all the time and park in the garage there. You’ll be fine don’t worry about it

Soundstage has plenty of security, in and outside, there is a garage down the street you should park in. Usually is slammed after shows but safe and worthwhile. If I'm not mistaken the venue has a deal with them for parking as well

I always do this. Always keep at least car distance away from car in front. Just be alert don't be on your phone. You should be okay.

Everyone should do this basically everywhere, irrespective of the possibility of crime.

Literally do this on a near-subconscious level every single time!

Also helps prevent you from hitting the dude in front of you if you get rear ended.

I mean, idk about very rare. I know multiple people that got carjacked or attempted to be carjacked last year.

I work right by there and have parked in that garage late at night many times with absolutely no issues. That area is pretty safe in general from my experiences. Getting to the highway once you’re in your car is also pretty quick, just a few turns and you shouldnt be driving through any bad areas to get there

It's safe. You're fine.

And gives you room to maneuver if an emergency vehicle needs to get through.

There's like a jillion reasons to allow extra space between yours and other vehicles, some of them based in self preservation and others based in just like, preparing for the unexpected.

Just park in the garage right next to soundstage, it’s 5 feet to the door.

Downtown? Before 11? You are more likely to be harassed by the staff at soundstage than assaulted or carjacked. Have fun!

I drive in Baltimore at night all the time, and I live in a semi-rough neighborhood. I keep my car doors locked, but I am much more concerned about the average skills of Baltimore drivers than about carjackings
