Actually, they are beautiful cities.
You obviously have not seen them
West coast? Not since the 70s. I can do business by phone or email. I have friends who still travel there. Pig styes, by their reckoning.
Chicago? Went once. Except for the photo op portion, pig sty.
Baltimore? Not since 1995. Pig sty. More so now by report.
I have biz in NYC now and then. It's been deteriorating under De Blasio.
I have been to all of those cities. Would not hesitate to visit any one of them again. Beautiful buildings, active nightlife, cultural activities, plenty to see, plenty to do. I can honestly say I enjoyed meeting the people in those cities.
I prefer them to the right wing cities where the best attraction is the local Walmart
I've been to LA and SF, and had a great time in both except for traffic in LA and parking on a hill in SF. Wonderful cities. I used to live a half-hour from B'More. It was a great place to go. I took my Dad (WWII vet) on a sub that is anchored at Harborplace, which is always enjoyable. Little Italy, Greek Town, Lexington Market, the waterfront with one of my favorite bars,
The Horse You Came In On at Fell's Point, and a great shop called Ten Thousand Villages that sells crafts made by villagers in poor countries, with the proceeds going to development in those nations.
B'More a pig sty? No way. Visit Fell's Point and
Eat Bertha's Mussels!
This idea of attacking certain locations in the U.S. is ridiculous. It is some weird political ploy. I wonder where the people who indulge in this garbage actually live.
