Last week we went to New Jersey and the same thing happened. Now that sigh of relief as we headed south wasn't something I could ignore anymore. And sure, Baltimore has its many many problems, and sure, I still think I will one day enjoy living in a warmer, weather-free state, but I have to admit that Baltimore is not THAT insane!
To me, it means I'll be lying if I continue writing on a blog called Insane Baltimore. I started this blog a while ago, thinking I lived on the borderline between quirky and sad. Baltimore is still quirky and sad, but it's also a lot of other things. Drugs on the corner, punks outside Red Emma's, misguided tourists in Cafe Hon, foreign students in the Charles Street Chipotle, bored cops in the harbor, winners and losers . . . This city is happening. It's a living organism of good and bad and ugly. What it's not, though, is insane.
I will continue giving my unsolicited 2 cents on Twitter (as _Baltimored_), but this blog will end.
Thanks to everyone who commented here. I enjoyed reading your angry comments and your supporting comments. I enjoyed arguing with you and I enjoyed admitting my mistakes.
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
