The strip of Maryland between Route 95 and Route 301, and the east side of the areas inside the Baltimore and DC beltways is not much different from South Central LA. Gangs, drugs and welfare mamas abound. The frustrating part is the way the people here don’t see it. They talk about the state as if it didn’t have a giant cesspool f crime and hopelessness smack dab in the middle. Folks here are genuinely clueless as to why no one wants to locate a new business in Laurel, or move thier family to Glen Burnie. Well DUH! Just look around!
