I wish you the vey best. I read about it from time to time and that big story about the guy who was transported in the police van a few years ago and died afterwards. What a fiasco that was.
My wife is from Maryland, Cambridge that is, on the eastern shore. The only time we have been to Baltimore was to go to the inner harbor and an Orioles game. And then to the Port of Baltimore last summer to take a cruise ship to Bermuda. I try to shy away from the big cities, but I have been to New York City about six times. I find Times Square fascinating. Then again, there are a lot of cops around, uniformed and some you would never know were cops. I spent my honeymoon in Manhattan.
Getting back to Baltimore, I almost forgot about “The Block.” Maybe it is still there, corrupt as ever. But that was very long ago, when I was stationed with the Navy in Arlington, Virginia across the river from DC.
I don’t know as much about Baltimore as you all, except what I see on the news. But the mayor must be bad and I remember that bitch of a DA ? who was trying to prosecute those cops who drove and rode in the van with that prisoner. I wish you the very best in your endeavors.
