In all of my visits to the Original, BIG, Glen Burnie Carnival, I've never won a Kewpie Doll.

Believe it or not we used to have street cars and people used to walk to WALK to the street car stop. Yea WALK AND AND ONE COULD CATCH A TRAIN TO DC. When a car comes directly to ones door step it was called a cab, and now Uber. Who would to be an Uber driver in Baltimore ? I can remember when people in Baltimore shot cab drivers for target practice. Excuses, Excuses How about if people in Baltimore started socializing their children. Now that's a unique thought.

I wonder if Uber Drivers in Baltimore are being shot or robbed with any regular frequency.The only way I can imagine you could is if the Mobile phone was stolen and the criminal used the persons app to hire a ride and then robbed them. If it is happening in Baltimore.. they must not be reporting the fact that the victim is was an Uber Driver.. I have to admire their efforts.. I have used the service in Baltimore.. but I could never be a driver.....

As an outsider, I see an old port city that had jobs and old money, important institutions like Johns Hopkins, an important artistic legacy from world famous writers like Poe and a geographically desirable location. It had everything going for it, and, ultimately, it cannot survive the people who have been encouraged to adopt the government as their mommy and daddy. No society can survive that.

Indeed Baltimore is a port city and you have made
an accurate analysis (minus the latter part of the
second sentence). Isn't it peculiar, though, that
working-class people used to live at and near the
Inner Harbor? Living near the water in a city
got you bad smelling air, loud boats, stowaway
rats and that was enough to keep the upper-class
away. Now, it has become an upper-class trend to
live there pricing out everyone else.

What was wrong with the second sentence? You can have the inner harbor and all of Baltimore AFAIAC.
