When those road repairs on Lombard Street end, I want to be blinded by gold. Nothing but gold-paved roads is worth this hassle.
This whole Boycott Whole Foods thing is really good for my wallet.
Last year, when I went to Falls Road Animal Hospital, my dog was seen by celebrity vet, Dr. Kim Hammond. Imagine going to the ER and being seen by George Clooney. That's how I felt.
I had to go to South Baltimore today. The most depressing side of town? If the recession ended today and America would go on a century-long period of prosperity, that whole area would still have every other house boarded up. My beloved Hampden is not much better, don't get me wrong, but at least there's room for optimism here.

I live in Hampden too, Medfield actually. But I was over on the west side in the Fulton/Monroe area recently and MAN are there ever a lot of boarded-up houses! What is the deal with this city? I feel like it must be somewhere near 1/4 or 1/3 of the buildings across all of town are boarded-up. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but not much!
It really depresses me to see the boarded up houses overlooking the lake in Druid Hill Park. Now that's a waste. But I read somewhere that there are rules that the city has to comply with federal guidelines when it comes to taking care of these houses--I don't know. Seems like a big bureaucracy is stopping these houses from getting fixed. And that whole Recession thing, I suppose.
Still, every national article that talks about good places to move to mentions Baltimore, so you have to imagine other cities are doing worse.
