Reply to comment by dopkick in Howard County Asia night market was a disaster to some, but organizers will try again in Baltimore by GovernorOfReddit

This is a different group putting on this one than the previous Asian might market in the Bromo Arts District, FYI.

Is it the same as the Howard County disaster?

This one doing it now is the same group, but there was another group who did the Asian Night Market back in... I wanna say 2019, and it went off without a hitch.

The first one in Baltimore, 2018 I think, had gigantic lines. I will cut them slack as it was free and they did not anticipate such success. The next year was much better with respect to lines and crowds.

I thought there was overlap between the two groups? Maybe I missed something.

Hmm, I don't think so, but I could be mistaken. I'll do some more research and report back. At the end of the day, I do agree that anyone should exercise some caution with the current group, no matter if they have good experience or not, given what happened in Howard. That was disgraceful and embarrassing.
