baltimore is fucking beautiful in its decay the way new york in the 70's was too, but in a much smaller scale. the people are funky, the junkies are like space aliens, and the yuppies stay the fuck away (except for some pockets). has a great little underground, racial troubles, good coffeeshops, awesome seafood, a vast working class, a couple of universities (one of which is world-class awesome), and everything that makes a town interesting and great to live in.
you need some poetry man. i would say go buy a kilo at walmart but they don't sell it there. i don't know where you can find it. maybe in an old bookstore, if you manage to get admitted to their inner sanctum. and quit taking those fucking square pills. |
yeah, but the liberty bell is a) a national landmark with historical significance, and b) doesn't rise out of this giant industrial hellhole to contribute to the blighted landscape. --EDIT-- i just googled the sign -- it actually doesn't look bad at night (i didn't know it lit up, as i've only seen it in the daytime).
call me insane, but i'd rather live in a town full of yuppies who spend all their time on their cell phones and palm pilots while driving their beamers to the office tower than a town full of race riots, drug raids, 1 am shootings, and dilapidated brownhouses. at least the yuppies keep the place . . . clean. (which, by the way, was the one thing that imo separated the inner harbor from the rest of the city . . . but it's been a while since i've been there, so it's possible that area's been destroyed too.)
balamer has some potential . . . they just need a giuliani to clean the place up.
