News Wrap: City Council elections and Johns Hopkins protests

The Downtown Partnership of Baltimore issued its State of Downtown report last month.

Baltimore's urban core is one of the few places in the city that experienced a population increase in recent years. With museums, sports venues, libraries, and restaurants, downtown remains a popular destination for many locals and visitors.

As a hybrid model of work persists, office space is in less demand. How will changes in work, tourism and nightlife change the landscape of downtown Baltimore?
