It was in June, so definitely not the first day of school. But it did say they picked him up from school.

Frankly they looked more white trash to me (unmarried shack-ups, BTW).

Despite popular belief, there ARE places in Baltimore that are still “blue-collar” (i.e., white) as well as well-off places which are basically white.

However, if they were by Greenmount, likely that is not a good place. Hampden, OTOH, is an old blue-collar place famous for its Christmas displays (although, this year they may be protesting THAT by not displaying, because of some damn regulatory garbage).

Charm City appeared to have a good ‘mix’ in a lot of what one may consider ‘Ghettos’ - now I am talking a few years ago anyway.

When I was making late night deliveries, if I pulled into a neighborhood or apartment complex (rarely had a delivery in an Apt Complex), a ‘rough’ looking neighborhood wasn’t always bad but if a lot of junked cars on street, no decorations up during Holiday periods, screen doors hanging off, lawns growing wild, lot of ‘messy’ graffiti etc, the client would get a phone call and either meet me on the street or at front door - If I didn’t have to park to far away. I have had one or two tell me I must have thought they were crazy if I expected them to come out at that time of night.
-—”Why are you laughing”.....wasn’t always the question I wanted to hear.....

Why do you think that is?
