Ever hear of BRAC? Base Realignment and Closure? Ft. Meade (located equidistant between Baltimore and DC) and Aberdeen Proving Grounds (north of Baltimore) are both getting a lot of new jobs from other base closures. Read about it here:
Also, the DC/Baltimore area is rapidly becoming a single market as infill development consumes every inch of open space between the two cities. So usually, the two cities are covered by the same infrastructure. The WIMAX rollout is no exception.
Ugh...BRAC. Still, I agree with Phil. There are many people living in this city. Just because the drug dealers get a TV show doesn't mean it's all we've got. Not a bad city at all if you are not living in a crap area. I could say the same for a lot of cities.
Although...why play the race card? He said drug dealers. Unless you are implying that all drug dealers are one race or another. Living in Baltimore I can tell you that is not the case. I believe he was implying that Baltimore is trashy and full of drug dealers (which is only half true), not being racist.

What Jerry said. And he should stop downing Baltimore as it is not even close to the drug capital or crime capital of the nation.
