They’re trying to get in on the western Maryland initiative.
I hope they do.
I love the shore, especially the Calvert Cliffs.
Used to keep a cabin cruiser in a marina near there.
Great memories.

close supposedly due to economics. I believe it's due to lawlessness in the city.

I have been watching, studying actually, the series titled the Wire.
It is ten years old. If half of the corruption and criminal activity are true, Baltimore can have no respect as being an American city.

"If you ignore the little things, you encourage worse things to happen."
Maybe in some future history book, that quote will be plastered underneath photos of these two:

My nephew posted this the other day on Facebook. Good rant.
My mother could almost do one, about how grand it once was living there until the Riots. Downhill ever since. She hasn’t lived there since that time, but we’re still close enough to know.

Actually it is every major city, at least those under certain control with certain levels of demographics.

You must not be aware of Western MD.
District 6 was gerrymandered to INCLUDE limo-liberal bleeding heart Monty Co. DC fed workers. They overwhelm true Western MD and got THEIR Dem in instead of the old situation of Western having rock-hard Repub Roscoe Bartlett. Just the other year!

One of them are a liberal couple that are fed up with taxes; they moved to Florida last year. Swell. So now they've gone to add to the rot that Floriduh is becoming. Why can't idjits like that just stay put??

The phenomena to which you refer is ‘Californication’. The libs don’t want to pay the taxes that they voted for so they move to another state where taxes are lower. Unfortunately, they always take their politics with them and contaminate their new home state with big liberal spending ideas.

Damn Moochelle wannabe. And what kind of mother would think of naming her daughter "BENEATHA" ???
Never mind. I think we know.
Maybe she has a sister named "ABOVEYA".

I spend a lot of time in Little Italy, and those places are really, really bad.

“It’s Maryland in general, at least on the western side of the Chesapeake Bay.” Casting a pretty broad net, aren’t you?
Proud W.MDer.
I'm here with you, Salamander, in Western MD. The rest of the free world has given up hope but one day we will turn this ship around.
(I just hope I live to see that day.)

Need clarification. The restaurants that closed were bad. Little Italy is bad or all resturants in Little Italy are bad?

She just won't look reality in the eye. I have some friends - white liberals to the core - who lived the past 25 years or so in Detroit. They've finally given up and are moving to Ann Arbor. But they won't say it either.
Detroit, Baltimore, South Side Chicago, East St. Louis, Compton - not to mention Haiti, Northern Brazil, Johannesburg, and on and on and on and on.
The problem transcends time and space. It appears wherever we the GREAT UN-NAMED abide in sufficient proportions.
But I'm the same way. I can't and don't condemn them for it. To speak that particular TRUTH in public will cost you your friends, your career, and just about everything else.
The problem is not in the stars. It's not in burned out buildings or crumbling schools. All of those things are symptoms - gross expressions of the elephant in the living room.
And everybody knows that. But nobody (including me) is willing to pay the social price associated with talking freely about it.
