Again, not unique to Atlas. Our city is poor and crime ridden and I want to see as much investment as possible - especially in the downtown harbor area. We aren’t going to survive without tourist dollars and investment in dining (and real estate, and schools). There are plenty of wealthy privileged folks around that have chosen NOT to spend their earned or inherited millions on Baltimore. I’m happy to have anyone spend money in Baltimore. The negativity around wealth in this town is obnoxious. I’ll take investment in a bunch of differently themed restaurants than investment in casinos and casino restaurants downtown any day. That said, glad we have the casino money too- I’m not gonna hate on the wealthy casino owners (or sports team owners) either. Baltimore needs it. We are not “fine otherwise” - we need to fix a lot in Baltimore and it’s going to take money.

Agree that Atlas is GREAT for tourism.

Aaaand… that is just Atlas management, right? The Pavlovian response to Atlas in Baltimore is just plain silly. Don’t fool yourself - you resent the wealth and entitlement.

People like you that hate and resent anyone with wealth are half the problem with this city. Money = Evil. But crime and drugs and poverty are fine and moral. Ok.

Sound a bit jealous of their wealth… who cares if they have money…. Spend it in Baltimore PLEASE!

One incident at a restaurant got everyone fired up… they adjusted their dress code after that. So funny everyone calls the places racist… check out most of their places after 10 pm… it’s far from a lily white crowd…

You sound pleasant. “Someone eats somewhere I don’t like - they should go fuck themselves.” Plenty more thing in Baltimore to be mad about other than a rich guy opening restaurants.

Oh, my bad… all the restaurants In Baltimore are run by fine outstanding people, and only atlas is evil, so off to hell I go for eating at some of their restaurants.

Not everyone that appreciates what Atlas has brought to the relatively shitty Baltimore restaurant scene is a “shill” - we suck next to DC or many other major cities when it come to good food options…. We’d rarely dine downtown if it weren’t for Atlas. Stop hating on folks willing to pour money into our dying and (sadly) dangerous city. Embrace ANYONE willing to invest!
