I am in awe of your use of the word salubrious. Some day I am going to learn how to use Twitter just to follow you.

I went with the Corporate Lawyer Hack. Though it was a tough call after she didn't bother showing up for a housing debate on Saturday.

Baltimore doesn't sound like a bad town and in fact has that haughty sound, like Lord Baltimore or some such shit.

I've been woke to the fact that Baltimore has 'issues' the last few years. Having never been above Georgia on the east coast, I've relied on assumptions but now I'm getting the real skinny.

Baltimore was a fun city to visit when my brother lived around there in the 1990's. He taught HS English in the Balt. City schools for 10 years. When he quit and moved back to Ohio, he said no one could pay him enough to go back to teaching. But I liked visiting ...

Well, now I don't feel so badly about the Bridgeport situation. Seems some cities just go from one scandalous mayor to the next.

Yup. It's just like The Wire, sad to say.

Doesn't the Utz girl live in Hanover, PA? I don't think she's eligible.

Can I just say that Andre Forde is a terrible artist, judging by the work on display here.

I thought it was "I'll get you a crab cake, hon, it's Bawlimer."
