That's terrible, sorry that this happened to you. At least those GTTF officers got caught eventually.

I assume you've read or watched "We Own This City"? I'd be curious about your take on it.

Side note but I remember when they first rolled out that Baltimore bench slogan... I vaguely remember some explanations that the previous slogan ("The City that Reads") was also rather "aspirational", given the illiteracy rate.

Baltimore is such an interesting dynamic city. To me, it is (culturally) what NYC was in the 70s and 80s: Gotham City. It's chronically underrated because of its public facade of crime and corruption, but behind that you have incredible art/music/film subcultures, some fantastic educational institutions especially for meds / bioengineering, a solid port, and a vibrant startup culture. I started paying attention because I noticed that so many of the podcasts I listen to, across all domains, come out of Baltimore either from the subject material or from the person writing the story. I wonder if its story will turn.
