well i do live in bmore... and how can you say its horrible if you aint live there... its awesome! and its not a huge crime pool..... every crime is basically because of drugs.... buyin or selling or squeeling.....

I'm white and I live in B-more but I know how much harder it is being African and poor compared to being white. I have lived through tough times like everybody and have experienced a lot of pain and hunger and suffering in my life. I don't hate blacks and I have friends who are black too. Don't assume all white people are non caring wussies.

Does anyone have Glenn Ross's professional contact information? I'd love to get my environmental club on one of these.

@PUMPKIN65 : could nt have said it better myself, i had grandparents who both lived in the city for decades and then lived off of wilkens in arbutus.then later retired down to richmond.glenn rosswas just the messenger saying how he saw it,but u are right jhu is nt totally to blame,not by far.Anyway,well done.i even quoted you on FB

[marcusguernsey]

@M26MASH : good points,of course.to be fair, i dont think he is fully blaming JH for all the cities ills,but rather just pointing out some of the natural developments they have been part of,and how they have helped re-shaped the city.if that is to the detriment of certain people weather they be minorities or working class folk,technically it is called regentrification

Downtown Baltimore sits on a lake of leaded fuel equal to 100 Exxon Valdez ships. During WWII when steel was hard to acquire for storage tanks the US military pumped tanker ships of fuel into the ground to support the war effort. All major shipping ports on the east and west coast have these sites, Philadelphia, New York, ext. I call these reproduction facilities, because they are the real quantity that makes up the National Reserve. Glenn Ross can you sign up on the ww toxictours com website
