Maybe I am confused by the word "Charm"




Just got on the light rail at Mount Washington heading down to the James Joyce to catch both Argentina x Germany and then Italy x Ukraine.

I look up to read an advert for Hunt Valley - a shopping mall - which states that they will escort off any person under 17 who is not with an adult after 9PM. if s/he is with an adult and misbehaves both the adult and kid will be banned - there is some orwellian term for it.

Baltimore's approach to crime is to become super nanny and ban everything rather than give people something to do.

Anyone see the irony in the places where crime cannot be contained are the same areas where there are flashing blue lights on every corner and video surveillance every block.

Feared that a swat team of Charm City's finest - or would it be the MTA police - would storm the light rail as a mother fed her child a McDonald's fry on the train.
