      Currently living in Baltimore, have been for the past 10 years.

      I think it's a place that will be labeled "up and coming" in perpetuity.  Parking in most places people want to live is a mess, and the "nice" versus "bad" neighborhoods follow no discernible pattern.  I have a daughter now, and we're looking to get out.  It has its high points for sure, but I'm not exactly in love with the place, and I started a business here.  Suffice to say that it's grown off of me instead of the other way around.

      Also the city is corrupt as hell.  We almost re-elected a mayor who plead guilty to abusing her position for her own financial gain (and truth be told might have been a better mayor than the one we got).  The Balimore taxpayers still pay her pension, which she kept as part of the deal.  Also, although it might seem odd, Maryland is the richest state in the nation, and yet the public school system in its largest city is a complete disaster, and the reason that most smart people move out once they have kids.

      Also, the Enoch Pratt Library looks like this as far as I know:

      It's interesting to note that everywhere north of Maryland considers Maryland to be "in the south," and everywhere south of Maryland considers Maryland to be "in the north."

        @Alex:

        A cursory google search makes it seem a lot more appealing than Bethnal Green

        The kebabs are better in Bethnal Green than in Bodmin. And Bethnal Green isn't Mile End. Not much in the way of a defence I admit…

        From one who used to live in Mile End I'm inclined to agree with you!

          We've all been there. I lived half a year in Shoreditch. A decade before it was trendy [emoji15]

            @steelworker my wife just told me that that's the Peabody library, which is indeed in Baltimore.  Apparently we do have some visually pleasing stuff here, who knew!?

              @tvenuto my apologies for confusing the Pratt with the Peabody. Their only resemblance is they both start with P ???
              On Rt 40 going east out of Balt is Chap's Pit Beef. Mmmmm, pit beef.

              Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
              Well, I have others.

                Used to work in Shoreditch when you couldn't even get a brown bread sandwich or anything like decent coffee, Browns was the height of sophistication! Used to live behind the Cinema on Mile End road… small world!

                Anyway back on topic 😉

                Boots arrived in very timely fashion and they are badass as you can hopefully see, super duper service!
                Momentary sunshine of the last few days is to be replaced by pouring rain again so will be splish splashing around like Gene Kelly forthwith, better order up some Bee Oil!

                    @Finshack I used to live just across the road from Mile End Park & the Palm Tree. Now that's what I call a pub!

                              Thank you. You're a great person, but maybe a terrible engineer  😉
