Greetings from City Hall


Baltimore is getting a lot of press these days.  The Ravens are one win away from a Super Bowl, The President-Elect is stopping by on Saturday, and of course our dear Mayor is in the midst of a political scandal that even Jay Leno is joking about. (Is joking the right word to use for Leno though?  He's terrible... how about 'talking' instead.) 

It seems we can't have too much of a good thing in this town.  We can't just have a major drop in the murder rate, a good football team, and a speech from one of the most historic presidents in American history.  No no no.  That won't do.  No far too much positive for this city.  I'm glad Sheila can bail us out and bring about a scandal filled with gift cards and fur coats and plane trips and all the wonderful things that make News Directors drool.  

It will be a big weekend for me.  I'll be at the Obama speech, covering more of a story about the people watching rather than the nuts and bolts of the event.  And then I'll be around Baltimore and BWI airport again to get fans reaction to the Ravens beating the Steelers.  If 300+ people were at the airport when the Ravens beat the Titans...I can only imagine what it's going to be like Sunday night.  

Current Jam: Jenny Lewis - Godspeed
