Thinking of Brewer’s Art makes me miss Baltimore (Hopkins, '06).

I lived in a house at the east end of the Charles Village neighborhood for my junior and senior years and didn’t get stabbed a single time. Didn’t have any problems at all, actually. I did know more than a couple of people who got robbed one way or another, plus there was that whole samurai sword thing a couple of years back. If I had a good reason to move back to Baltimore I’d definitely consider it; I enjoyed my time there and it’s not nearly the horror story some make it out to be.

Our family recipe includes both black pepper and Old Bay. Alas, down here in Southern MD, they do salt and Old Bay. I’m not a fan.

And my grandparents used to live a block from Obrycki’s - I grew up on those crabs. Pardon my drool…

Although Baltimore has a high murder rate, most people who get killed there are killed by somebody that they know.
