Baltimore

Come for the shootings,
Stay because your legs are shot off.

They're looking for a song?
An Eric Burdon tune comes to mind.

"We Gotta Get Out Of This Place".

I meant to say:

Baltimore.
Come for the shootings,
Stay because you're paralyzed.

I absolutely despise these "sloganeering" campaigns that the pointy-heads come up with. Baltimore does not need a slogan... the whole thing is rediculous. Nobody gives a crap about this craptastic crapola.

Anywho..

Baltimore: your city of orphans, the aged, blind and one-legged men, ruined girls, opium fiends, Chinamen, oyster dredgers, ex-convicts, the more respectable sort of colored people, and all the other oppressed and unfortunate classes of the time.

Living in Maryland.....
The inner harbor is a really nice place to visit but everything can really be done in 2 days or less. It certainly isn't a tourist city like Chicago or New York but it is nice to visit for a day if you come to Washington, D.C.

Baltimore, the South Central of the East Coast

Baltimore, come and find out just how good the ER at Johns Hopkins really is

Baltimore, home to the Orioles and Ravens, and if you don't like it you can see another bird

Baltimore, just think of it as Beirut in 1982 minus the bombs

Baltimore, because your life insurance is voided if you commit suicide

Baltimore, it's a state of mind, a crazy crack and meth adled state of mind but a state of mind all the same

Baltimore, you know you want crabs

Baltimore, someone has to make DC look good

Baltimore, there's no other city of our calibers

/yes I like writing really corny slogans, why do you ask?

I was in Baltimore about a month ago, traveling through with my sister and disabled mother. While leaving, the skycap at the airport yelled at my mother (in a wheelchair) because she was taking too long to find her ID, then told my sister that she had to give him $20 or he'd make sure our bags would be lost.

That's my impression of Baltimore. No, I won't be returning.


As for a slogan . . . how about "Baltimore: Brothels, biatches and Bathouses? You bet!!"

I'll take my $275,000

I'm moving to Baltimore today.

How about: "You can get a piture of Guiness here for what it would cost you to buy a bottle of Bud in DC."
 
2006-01-08 09:23:29 AM
Seriously, I love living in Maryland, but Baltimroe is mostly an urban ghetto.

One thing I've noticed... the more enlightened, progressive, and liberal a place THINKS it is, the more likely it is to have a place to hide its poor. Out of sight, out of mind, with a welfare program to keep them quiet.

For Maryland, Baltimore is that place.

I believe that's how they got the murder rate in DC to go down - they moved people to Baltimore.

Pitcher of Guiness.

I had to read that a few times to figure out what you meant.

Baltimore is great in the right spots. Screw throwin the money to add campaigns, fix up the city and the slogans will come on their own.

It has been years since I've been to Baltimore, but is it really that bad? Murder wise? Keep in mind I live in Phily and we have about two murders a night.

Baltimore: Beware

2006-01-08 09:52:23 AM
Huh. Looking up crime rates and such I see that Baltimore has 3X's the number of murders (per capita) than Philadelphia has.

Strong work Baltimore, strong work.

Its fun to take a motor boat up into the inner harbor, try and catch some blue crabs or go to the museum then get a bite along there somewhere, but other than that I'm not sure what the use of baltimore is.
 
2006-01-08 09:55:33 AM
The only reason people think Baltimore is bad is that they live outside the city, and only visit the harbor. It's not a real 'tourist' town, but it's not a bad place to live.

Baltimore really isn't quite as bad as everyone makes it out to be. If you don't know it, stick to Mount Vernon, Fed. Hill, Canton, Fells Point, Little Italy and the Harbor.

Famous museums, the aquarium, great restaurants, fun night-life, great bars the two best hospitals in the mid-atlantic... and both of the law school's I've attended. It's not all ghetto and crackwhores.

Except east and west baltimore. Stay out of there! (Central Baltimore ftw)

Baltimore: John Waters loves us, why don't you?

Baltimore: We're simply "Divine". Oh, and he's buried here!

Baltimore: More bars per capita than any city in the USA!
 
2006-01-08 10:02:33 AM
Jeez! Has it gotten that bad? My brother-in-law used to live in Columbia and we'd visit and hang in Baltimore all the time. Didn't seem THAT bad.

Didn't seem THAT bad.

It's not.. the worst year for crime was 1993, and since then it has been declining.

Baltimore: We're simply "Divine". Oh, and he's buried here!

Actually, he's buried in the County... Towson to be exact.

Except east and west baltimore. Stay out of there!

Not really true. The Northeast part and the Southwest part are pretty great...

but Baltimroe is mostly an urban ghetto.

Show me a ghetto that is not "urban." Anyway, Baltimore has a shiatload of abandoned houses... many boarded up neighborhoods that used to be thriving communities. The city has even taken to bulldozing entire blocks of rowhomes to make way for new housing.

There is a ton of new investment going on all over the place... I'm not talking about the Harbor either. Many smaller neighborhoods are seeing significant influxes of cash in the form of new residential areas with shopping districts.

/still many problems
