My hat is off to the good entrepreneurs of
the Baltimore Harbor area; and I’m not going back for a while
For those who spent so much time and
money to bring back that depressed area, good on ‘em.
I several
times traveled from northern Virginia where I lived (at the time) to eat at a
restaurant there and enjoy all the sightseeing and other such things that were
located in this area.
But since I
do have good alternatives to eating out, why would I go in harms way (at least
in my imagination) to eat there and even recreate there for the next few years? And I have been a Marine, so I think I know
what I am talking about.
What a shame
that this has happened.
The reports
the gangsters and mob rule may be taking over are particularly alarming.
Whether they are true or not, I don’t know and really don’t care anymore. And
the reports are still all over the place, like normal. And for sure I do not
live there. The reports so far are both alarming and embarrassing if this kind
of thing can even happen, and perhaps now in other urban other places, too. At
least that is the fear so many people have these days.
So when I
eat out, it will be closer to home and safer to me and my loved ones and
friends whom I invite. Said another way, I think I will know what is going on
in these more local areas I choose go to and spend my money. Rest assured, it
won’t be anywhere in Baltimore. While that is not fair, who are “they” to make
me spend my money there, too.
Now I do
believe that time heals all wounds, so that will probably happen in the
Baltimore Harbor area, too. But, and again, I think it will be a long drought
for those who have invested so much time and money in bringing this area back well
enough to attract tourists and other such people that spend money. There was a
lot to brag about.
And let me
hit one obvious point head on. Is it racial, or is it tribal? Having been a
Marine, I know better, and most of our enemies don’t want Negro Americans
fighting for our Country. And I still think our local police do a very good
job. In the same vein, isn’t it amazing so many low life gangster types have
gained some political and police powers through our elected governments. Now
something is wrong with that picture.
Isn’t it
amazing how quickly some things can change?
That includes the entrepreneurs and the voters, too.
