Greasing the palms of city-connected contractors - just the usual big-city grift and graft.

Those tax dollars aren't going to steal themselves...

Reporting to my very first shit in Virginia I got handed a ticket to Baltimore where my ship was in dry dock. It probly was my worst day on the ship.....

Baltimore is/was/will always be a pit. Remember the last riots?

This is why Baltimore currently sucks the big one.

There are a ridiculous number of structures in the country called “historic”.

This is partly due to a false belief that the nation or the state or the city will last forever.

Everything changes.

In a thousand years very few cities that exist in the country today will exist at all—it is possible none of them will exist.

So much for “historical” buildings....
