I know the good, christian thing or whatever would be to try and engage them and get them to come to the city and see all it has to offer and all of the vibrancy and life that exists across the city, and also try to get them to understand that the people that live here are in fact still human beings that are of equal worth to them.

But that is not what I would do if I ran into one of these little assholes on the street.

I live in the county now and when my wife and I talk to people about moving there from the city their eyes always get wide and they act like I moved out of north korea. Our answer is always we loved it but between 2 kids in a small rowhouse and covid we decided we wanted more space. They always seemed genuinely shocked that we weren't somehow stuck in the city.

It's honestly wild how people that live so close to Baltimore can know absofuckinglutely nothing about it. I love living here.

My boss lives in Olney and has never been to Baltimore city. I work in Cillege Park and I'd say a majority of people I have met that live south of Columbia haven't been to baltinore other than decades ago for a highschool field trip.

I mean I get DC is closer but Baltimore is only 30 minutes away. Insane to not ever even check it out.
