FG,
Understood.
I realize that Essex is essentially a suburb of Baltimore City and that SS and Laurel are about 20-25 miles away. I just meant that the Baltimore area holds a lot of affection for me to this day, because of the visits and because I lived "in the area" for a while. On occasion, some of us would go to the Inner Harbor and sometimes Fells Point to catch some of the "atmosphere", night-life, etc. Really enjoyable and a beautiful job restoring the area. It was just the lifestyle in SS and Laurel that I couldn't get used to, you couldn't make any lasting friendships because people just moved around too much.
Take care,
BST
