Yesterday, I returned to my desk from a meeting to find Doc Binks and Doc New-Office-Mate- Whose-Real-Name-I-Don't-Remember-So-I'm-Not-Going-to-Come-Up-with-a-Fake-One-Just-Yet discussing the relative merits of east coast cities and how none of them compare to the west coast.
Binks: We decided that Baltimore was better than Philadelphia.
Moi: Are you kidding? You can walk through 6 consecutive nice blocks in Philly. You can't do that in Baltimore.
Binks: But Baltimore has more character.
We all agreed on that point. B'more has quite a bit of character. And I like it quite a bit. I would have said "love," but Doc New-Office-Mate then decided to pull up some murder maps. B'more has quite a bit of that, too. It's true that it's no longer among the 5 deadliest cities in the country (it's 6th), but the homicide rate is still 3 times that of Boston.
Binks: Well, you'll always have the star spangled banner.
