Wiki has an article about this ("Baltimore riot of 1968"), which occurred in April of that year and lasted over a week. According to the Wiki, one consequence of the riot was that then-Governor Spiro T. Agnew came to the attention of then-candidate Richard M. Nixon as someone who could draw voters away from Alabama Governor George Wallace, who was also running for President. For those too young to remember, Wallace was thought by many to be quite a racist; Agnew later resigned the U.S. Vice Presidency in disgrace for his alleged participation in a round of scandals that (IIRC) sent the MD State Roads Commissioner and the Anne Arundel County Executive to jail. Ah, the good old days . . .

I would love too, but there are too many roots here. My family has been in western and southern Maryland for many generations but I too am tired of the cost of living, crime and crowded urban encroachment. Personally Id love to move to NC(lake gaston and NOT OBX!) as it most resembles where I grew up here but getting my wife to leave will be impossible. Maybe we will retire down there...
