Yeah, I know, but this only brings Baltimore down in the eyes of the nation, yet again. It seems that all my life, I've been defending my city, even with it's bad rep ("city that breeds", etc.).

Conversations have often gone like this:

Person: "So, where are you from?"
ME: "Baltimore."
Person: *outwardly cringing* "Oooh, I've heard some things..."

*sighs* Ah well. What can ya do? *shruging*
