Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 1843740, member: 780"] Baltimore vs. DC - Well, there are plenty of dodgy places in DC. But there is a huge difference between Baltimore and DC which has to do with the huge difference between the history and economic base of the two cities. In the 1940's and 50's there was a very large migration of people from the South into Baltimore attracted by jobs in manufacturing and shipping. Those jobs have largely dried up. DC on the other hand is populated by people with deep, deep roots in the City and a relatively good jobs situation. ("The Corner" is a great book on Baltimore's current status (1997) and its history.) [/QUOTE]
