You are correct, of course. But, it’s not close to what it used to be, if you ask my mother.

If we can find a city of B’more’s size where it’s like it was in the 40’s and 50’s - not a comment on your age, but rather our parents :-) - I’d love to see it.

For those of us that know, use, and, yes, like the city, we get around just fine. It’s home.

......your mother is right!....Baltimore was once a great, great city....for about the last 30 years or so the decline has been very sad to see.....a while back our church group was rehabbing a row house down by Camden Yard...I went out to my truck to get something....it was a bright sunny day and the gutter seemed to sparkle....I was puzzled and bent down to look closer....the sun was glinting off empty crack vials...I picked one up....it had a logo on it!...when you’ve got drug crews working at that level of sophistication you’ve got big problems...and this was in sight of one of the finest sports facilities in the country.
