velo army Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I've been trying to think up a clever pun relating "star spangled banner" to this collapse (for those who dinna ken who Francis Scott Key was he wrote the national anthem) but I can't think of anything good. Help would be appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did all these dead prostitutes get here? Well, as we approached the bridge I could see a group of women walking across. They looked like they might be attempting mass suicide, so I steered a bit closer and accidentally hit it. Unfortunately the prozzies fell on to the boat when the bridge collapsed, killing them all outright, their clothes must've came off during the fall. Can I go now?

I've spent some time in Baltimore though and it's a class city, some night out too. Never seen anything like what was depicted in the show, but I suppose I also wasn't slinging/buying heroin in the projects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah a friend of mine has some family that stay around Baltimore who have said that while the impoverished areas are probably among some of the worst in the country, those areas are quite isolated away from the areas of the city that anyone else would chose to explore - I guess that's all part of a cycle of an area becoming further impoverished. I have heard that Baltimore itself is a very nice city, may need to visit one day. I think the show probably served as way to show a more overall picture of the struggles in inner city American cities, as opposed to it being solely a representative of 1 city that had been struggling. Seasons 3/4 of The Wire are probably the best of the series, if you haven't seen that far in yet. Edited March 26 by AUcal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye there are some outrageously weathy suburbs, but even in the city itself you're fine as long as you don't do anything daft. The closer you are to the water the nicer it tends to be, generally speaking. Great scran, some fantastic pubs, interesting museums and a lot of history, at least by American standards. I'll be there again later on this year. I've never made it beyond the second series but it's probably about time I correct that, especially if you're saying it gets even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 So is this Sydney Sweeney lassie just the new Christina Hendricks? It's amusing how society stops to remember the existence of big tits every now and then, as though there aren't websites and periodicals dedicated to such things (according to a mate). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
