oh but i do live in baltimore...the open air drug market, which is what the book "the corner" (i think that's the name) is based on, is only a couple blocks west of me...then there's the low income housing a couple blocks south...north is shock trauma and the umd hospital, so all kinds of loonies there...and to the east isn't so bad, camden yards....the CITY THAT READS, woohooo!!
