I felt a bit silly with tears but indeed I really adore the city of my birth.
My husband was from Massachusetts.
Originally he was from Indiana.
But Baltimore, gorgeous inner harbor. At times I felt like Mary Tyler Moore and wanted to throw my beret joyfully into the air.
Baltimore was built for people like me and my family. Never forget the stock yards, bulls would get loose and run the streets.
Never forget the Lexington Market and Broadway Market on Broadway and Bank streets.
LOVED PIMILICO!!
Man I got to stop.
But it’s my town. I am a Baltimoron.
Charm city.
Baltimore was never a beautiful place, rich or exceptional. But it had everything a city of average folks like family needed.
They ruined it.
But Nancy D’Alesandro.....she should be tearing up too.
I really do understand.
I just searched abunch of pics of “Vintage mattapan” and saved them to my desktop. I felt very nostalgic about those pictures.
Now. Look what you started! :-)
Don’t they have trash pickup?
How about rewarding neighbors with tools and supplies to begin a neighborhood restoration of their own instead of waiting for government to fix it?
