Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake released a new commercial promoting the City of Baltimore to the tens of thousands of spectators visiting Baltimore for the first time at the Inaugural Baltimore Grand Prix. The commercial, produced by Baltimore-based greiBO Media and the Mayor's Office, is playing repeatedly on JumboTron screens in front of visitors throughout the Grand Prix race area. The 30-second spot asks 'What Drives a City?" and celebrates Baltimore's history, culture and diversity as a world-class American city.

  • @bartlinskie1 You are the type of curmudgeon that keeps Baltimore stagnant. Please move to Pittsburgh

  • Some people are so pessimistic. Nearly everyone from my high school with a decent GPA went to college and never came back. To improve your town you must #1 Get people interested in Baltimore #2 Get tax money #3 Re-do that mass transit system.

    This event was awesome and brought six figures worth of big spenders into the city. Businesses did very well, I came down and saw it for myself. Opportunity fights crime! City revenue is spent creating opportunity. Like any city with events lacks traffic.

  • In speaking to a friend of mine from Dublin, Ireland, and mentioning Baltimore, the first thing he asked about was, "The Wire". Things like the Baltimore Grand Prix will help to change peoples' perception of this city. It was a great weekend, and a great event. Congratulations to all those who helped to bring the Grand Prix to Baltimore. It was a success.

  • Great exposure for Baltimore! Thanks Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake!!!!!!

    And to all that hoped that the Grand Prix would fail, I'm sorry you didn't have enough faith in our Great City and our resilient citizens!!!!!!

  • @ninja3203

    Agreed.

  • You guys need to give Mayor Blake a break. She is doing the best she can with what she has. I'm sure it would be easy to do all those things with more federal funding, but Baltimore's funding is limited. This Indy race was a great event for Baltimore City and will bring millions of dollars in to the city. I thought we wanted to bring national attention to Baltimore's inner harbor? Won't that bring revenue into the city? Let the mayor do her job. Stephanie Rawlings Blake for Mayor!!

  • @dnvn0525 yes Catherine Pugh for Mayor!

  • @bartlinskie1 totally Agree!!! I cant Wait to Vote!!! We Have to get this Bum Out Of OFFICE!!! CAtherinePugh for Mayor!!!!

  • wow. instead of creating grid lock downtown how about you lower property taxes by 50% and come up with an effective crime fighting strategy? Good to see that SRB is more focused on getting re-elected than the problems of the city!
