Look at this LAME excuse from the article:

“Visit Baltimore, the city’s tourism arm, is running Internet radio and newspaper ads across the mid-Atlantic in effort to win back visitors. Tom Noonan, the agency’s CEO, says that Baltimore has seen tourism decline as a result of suburbanites being reluctant to return to their favorite city attractions.”

Oh yeh,,THAT’S the reason,,the suburbanites don’t want to come back to the city attractions.

Uh huh.

...probably due to fear of gun-toting TEA PARTY Extremists.

(watch, the media will blame us for their problems)

I wonder if offering some new urban safari packages would increase the hotel occupancy rate?

I think that's an excellent idea! They could tour Baltimore in these vehicles:

Before the left destroyed Baltimore as they have done most large urban areas, I spent a day and a half in Baltimore with a blown clutch. A nice black family owned an auto parts store and went out of there way to get me fixed up with the right clutch that they drove all over the city to find and gave me a place for me to do the work myself as in 1975 I didn’t have money for labor. This was before the slimy leftists got people thinking they were getting a raw deal having to work for a living

LOL! My wife and I just last night were joking how we must be insane for taking our kids down there two weekends from now. Every summer we go down to see the Orioles vs A’s series. We stay at the Hilton right across the street from Camden Yards and about .5 mile from the Inner Harbor. We still plan on walking to the Harbor... but not after dark.

The other day on the ‘net there was a list of top ten tourist destinations to avoid. One of the top was Mogadishu

After Obama started destroying this country, I was offered an opportunity to attend a business seminar in Chicago (which is like a week-long vacation); I declined on principle. I’ve been to other cities on such trips, but passed on Chicago for no other reason than that detestable POS. Did my little part to impoverish them...

I’ve passed on free Devils tickets in Newark NJ (I used to go to games in the NJ Meadowlands); I wouldn’t spend a dime keeping Newark afloat.

Oddest place to put a hockey team...

Our family has dreamed of a Baltimore vacation, but couldn’t ever really afford it. It’ll always be on our bucket list, though.

Baltimore, city where dreams are made. Gee whiz, I wish I was born there.

Have you been there? Is it really as wonderful as people say it is?

That’s OK. You’re pretty safe in that immediate area.

Have fun!
