“But, I can’t really expect much more out of a Marylander.”
Has nothing to do with it. I know the neighborhoods you’re talking about. Either you’re a liar or you’re a liar.
Prove that everything north of the business district is a massive ghetto.
You're asking me to prove that it's a ghetto? Good grief.
How about this: pretty much all of us here across the Potomac who have been to Baltimore think that your city is a ghetto. Hell, your entire state is a ghetto, according to Urban Dictionary (look at all the synonyms for "Baltimore": one of them is ghetto). Since the entire city can be considered a ghetto, any constituent part (including the area north of the business district, within city limits) is probably also a ghetto.
Now, as for what I saw, guess what? That's what I saw. And, honestly, Baltimore is a sketchy city. And yes, I did observe plenty of cars with missing windows covered over with plastic bags, graffiti, sketchy looking people, and increasingly rundown and sad looking buildings.
That's not rigorous proof but I think it's pretty indicative of the conditions in Baltimore.
Now, you chose to attack me personally (calling me a liar, saying that I am full of "$hit", and so forth) instead of trying to...oh, I dunno, convince me that perhaps Baltimore is not a ghetto. In doing so, all you did was reinforce my opinion that Maryland (with the exception of the Western and Southeastern counties) is a trashy state.
And, I will not dignify any more of your responses with posts, because I have better things to do than participate in pissing contests with Marylanders.
