It's just depressing, you know? This city I love, so broken in ways.
(I don't know if I need to clarify this, but this doesn't elicit fear in me. It's not that. It's the complex and sometimes toxic brew of society's -isms on display.)
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

This won't make national news, not like the Columbia Mall. Nevermind it is a fairly stable residential street on the cusp, nevermind it is #19 or 20 since Jan 1. It's just Baltimore.
Yeah, I feel you. From here in a city that people on the South Side have taken to calling ChIraq.

When TAL did the series on the high school in Chicago, I went google-touristing. And so many of those blocks I traversed, yeah, they looked like these blocks of Baltimore. Not the bombed out devastation of N. Monroe and many other areas, but worn but still somewhat tended older family homes. Written off at ChIraq, or Baltimore City.
I don't even know.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
This city I love, so broken in ways.
My neighborhood is fighting SO HARD in the face of gangs and shootings and drug deals that take place in broad daylight. There's so much good in my neighborhood, and so much deep, systemic damage.

It makes complete sense to me, Sarameg.

My dad should be going home from the hospital. They did a cardiac inversion which seems to have gotten his heart going in a rhythm that works. It's -16 below at their house today.
