Living in a video game

Right now, staying in downtown Baltimore is like living in a video game. You can be walking around, only to go around a corner to find a new wall has appeared in front of you that wasn't there before. On my way home to my hotel after the ballgame tonight - bear in mind my hotel is basically across the road from centre field - there were a host of new walls blocking the way back to the hotel that weren't there when I went to the game 3 hours previously!

This is the result of the construction for the Baltimore Grand Prix, mentioned previously. The grandstands seem to be mostly completed now, and more of the barriers and fences have been put in. It also seems that some locals have taken it upon themselves to "test" the racetrack in the middle of the night, going by the noise!

Unfortunately, a consequence of this ongoing work, which needs to finished off on Thursday, is that the light rail service is being stopped after tonight in the downtown area, which means I have a several block walk to get to the train to get to the railway station for the trip back to Washington. I may need to take a cab instead.
