It’s ironic he’s recording the west side of Baltimore during a pandemic. On the show “The Wire”, which is mostly set in West Baltimore, season 4 episode 1one of the drug dealers who hustled for Bodie was on the corner yelling out “Pandemic! Got that pandemic!” as the name of their dope lol
Look at the kind of cars these people blow their money on no wonder they are poor, not to mention stupid, throwing garbage in the street causes their world famous rat problem
Theres a lot of nice old houses in the area that just need renovating. A lot of cities have stopped demolishing old parts of the city to keep the character and history of the city.
714Diego714 Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Bushwick, Fort Greene, Harlem, et al. Hipsters know that they ain’t making grand buildings like those brownstones anymore. A thorough inspection, and they’re ready to retrofit them sh*ts into 2020-comfort.
I’ve been through this area before. It’s sad that a Popeyes restaurant or similar has workers that are protected from bullets because they are behind a huge glass partition. And this is normal for the customers!
@Brian O`Conner Yup, My friend lived in that area and we went into the post office and it had a glass barrier as well. I'd never seen such a thing at a post office and was shocked and confused. It made me sad on different levels.
Thank you so much for driving through Baltimore during the quarantine! I recently found your UA-cam channel and rode through NY, NJ, and Philly with you! I saw your old drive through of Baltimore from 2017 but I was hoping you'd do a new one to show what's going on now! I work outside of our country and I always stay up on what's happening going on in our national and local news. However, your drive throughs really give me the insight I want to see! After listening to our news I find myself wondering, "What are our people really doing?"" You help to answer that question! Thank you for all your drive throughs, but I'm particularly thankful for this one because Baltimore is my hometown! Are you going to do one for D.C. during this quarantine? Take care and stay well!
When I look at West Baltimore I always think about Gary from “The Corner” roaming these streets and went from rags to riches and then death because of his downfall. I bet he was a real good guy in real life.
Some of those blocks were mostly boarded up....I wonder why so many people left? Are there no jobs in Bmore? I couldn't imagine living on a block where it's more boards up than occupied homes. That's too spooky and desolate for me. I wonder what would bring people back. At some point I bet these areas were lively and people lived in all those homes.
Baltimore in the past was a major industrial town, similar to Detroit or Cleveland. When industry's like automobile manufacturing left, many people did too. As crime and schools got worse, people started leaving to the suburbs. Baltimore also built many rowhouses because population was growing fast in the early 1900s with limited space. That's why there are so many abandoned homes, mostly older cheaper row homes
Everything that VeryLegitPerson said is true. However, we must address the tolls that drugs have took on Baltimore. Crack cocaine and heroine have done severe damage to Baltimore! Unfortunately, many people died due to drug related deaths i.e. overdosed, developed other diseases related to drug use (HIV and AIDS). Likewise, many that got addicted to drugs lost their jobs and families because they couldn't get themselves together again. Additionally, you have multi-generation of families that are incarcerated because of selling drugs.
Baltimore is a rust belt like the MAJORITY of the great lakes midwest area and exceptional east coast states like NJ, PA, And MD (Baltimore, Hagerstown, Cumberland)
I'm not a big fan of this housing stock. (looks very similar to the Trenton and Philly vids, nearly same designs). Just blocks and blocks of of boxes. The homes are too close together. I'm glad when Chicago was built the builders decided to give space in between each home and im glad they built Chicago with alleys and garages in the back.
I see how on the wire chris and snoop was putting bodies in abandoned buildings so many and the show portrayed Baltimore so perfect coming from Chicago
@@rdns263 whiny ass uneducated crybabies always let the fear get to em, then they try to act big by telling the ones who know better about things they fear themselves. Laughing my ass off at you fools
It set in a long time ago in my ancestral homeland, B’more. In and around Mt. Royal Avenue in central Baltimore, there was quaint gentrification springing up around my father’s apartment complex on North Avenue right at I-84, in the ‘90s; when I went there in 2018 there was a lively, artsy community forming near the Amtrak (Penn) station; about a mile east of the infamous Pennsylvania Avenue. That’s how it starts. Have to admit, it was cute, and somewhat safe. North Avenue is always looming though.
People have been wanting to gentrify for the past 30 yrs its it's not that simple. There have been pockets of gentrification but obviously nothing major yet. There are very high levels of poverty hence the crime rate. Not just poverty but 3rd world level poverty.
rose l Sorry, rose I; I hear you, still, Baltimoreans DO NOT experience a “third world level of poverty”. If you want to see “major” gentrification, you need go no further than downtown Brooklyn, NYC, which, in only 10 years, has gone from seedy and dangerous to something resembling the skyscrapers of Upper East Side Manhattan
@@nycsongman9758 Are you from Baltimore? There a kids starving. That's why there a squeegee kids on the street and kids getting involved in crime to feed themselves bc they are literally hungry. If that's not 3rd world poverty idk what is. Even if their parents get govermnet assistance they dont use it to feed the kids or its not enough so they turn to crime.
@@yup7091 lol yeah, well i live near a large wood and am really lucky to be able to go and wonder in there and just sit and take in nature, i dont think i could survive in that kinda environment it just looks so lifeless & depressing

Being able to live and survive without being realiant on the Government is key & then jut realise health and the basics is all you need, the materialistic stuff is just a waste of time and money

I lived in Maryland for 10 years. I’d say that most of Maryland looks like this. Now that’s not including the rich spacious neighborhoods of the farmland. But the buildings are very similar to lots of other places in Maryland. Tightly compacted brickwork houses with a homeless problem. A lot of old buildings that don’t have air conditioning. It sucks that due to gentrification and economic disparity certain areas aren’t maintained correctly. People always said not to go to certain places, but I honestly think it’s out of racism. I was never bothered by people on the street as long as I kept to my own business. But I also didn’t have nice car or nice clothes so maybe I didn’t look worth jumping haha idk
This city is so depressing..... when I went there I felt INSTANT DEPRESSION. We as blacks shouldn't have got comfortable with this kind of living. I was suppose to stay 3 days I left the next day before noon.... Very, very, very abandoned town. Never saw anything like it. Reminds me how the Bronx and Harlem use to look back in the 80's
My home town this kinda shows you why we are out on the streets protesting not just because of cops it's because we have to live like this the leadership don't seem to care half of them don't even come down to this part of town out of site out of mind no investment in the community to all my Baltimore family speak up and hold those in power accountable much love to all stay safe and healthy
Some of those alleys he is taking makes him look like one of two things. The cops or the opps. Lol Either way he needs to be careful. My heart pounding for him.
It’s kinda sad seeing my city on here && everybody opinions😐but we gotta be out, that’s how we survive. In Baltimore alot of us teens have to fend for ourselves, we gotta get it someway🤷🏽♀️. Like me my mom stop taking care of me when I was 9 years old, I’m 16 now with 4 kids. 3 boys & 1 girl I love my kids, I just don’t want them to be like me && I don’t wanna be like my momma😔! (Who ever read this I’m sorry I just need to vent) && we don’t do thing just to do it. There’s a reason for everything we do!
Maybe make your way out and then and only then maybe have children why put them in that situation. Otherwise they will be in the same sit....you know I'm wasting my time typing
John C I mean it’s hard I’m 16 with 4 kids, I didn’t wanna be a parent yet I wanted to be a kid but I wasn’t raised or taught properly, so I had to learn as I got older by myself
This just isn't how all of Maryland is, but yes, this is a very bad and unsafe part. Also, many other states have bad neighborhoods just like West Baltimore
You can drive 15-20 minutes outside of the city and see beautiful rolling hills and waterfalls. The bad hoods don't define Baltimore and Baltimore doesn't define Maryland.
The people in Baltimore are very friendly. It's funny how nice they are given the circumstances. I've lived in safer cleaner cities where people were downright selfish and rude.
Hey Clarlie, you're doing God's work. More people need to see these videos, cause there are a lot of people who dont fully understand or know what is going on in these areas.
Jaime D earn a living in a place with 0 municipal investment. Are you seeing this place thriving with small business opportunity? Are you slow? Maryland is like the second richest state in America. You don’t know anything about corruption and the legacy of jim crown combined with northern like corruption. You are just another obnoxious white man. Smug with no historical reference or understanding.
Americans get so passionate when singing " God bless America" so why dont they bless all of America by blessing these areas as well! Instead of government spending money goin to space as most folks will never go there, spend the money HERE!!!!
Mimi P poverty will do that similar to trailer parks , tenement projects etc !!! Lower socioeconomics come into play. The city isn’t rushing to put the same campaigns and tax dollars towards these LMI areas. Everyone is at fault
I grew up there, and he rode past one of my former babysitter's homes....at least I think that was Smallwood he was on as he was heading toward Carver High at one point. The block looks the same. However, some of the other blocks where all or most of the homes were boarded up is heartbreaking. The block I grew-up on Poplar Grove and North Ave, is now boarded up or gone. To know that people used to live in those homes...and those homes were some people's pride and joy at one point. Geez. Wow. That's all I can say.
Albert Casals Maryland is an expensive place. An a very old place so a lot of the buildings look like that just because they are old. In order to make money you have to be able to drive so sometimes it’s easier to pay cheaper rent and invest more money into your transportation. You can’t just walk everywhere in most parts of USA you have to have a car. Also sometimes people just prefer to have a nice car so they pay the payments on that car until they pay it off then can get a nicer place. It just depends. There is a huge homeless problem tho
Because 1. cars are easy to buy on finance. Many people take a loan 2. there’s not many old cars still running. The cost of repair can be more than what the whole car is worth. Once a car body starts to corrode, it’s game over, you can’t stop the corrosion.
I was just in Baltimore literally a day ago! People hang outside like it's nothing, but you can't go in ANY stores without a mask on. Blessings and shoutout to Baltimore, Maryland.
Does anyone else get the feeling all of America has been left to rot. Every part. The whole thing. As if it is not needed anymore. U.S. fought the Germans, it was a trick, they didnt want a central banking system. Now it's everywhere. We are all pawns of a rich man's game.

Its like that in every hood rn and I predicted it would be and that black ppl would have the higher rates but although ik there are other factors but niggas for sure can't get away from chilling n partying, pandemic or not niggas gon die partying.
LLQ 4Ever they look to familiar Kevin Hart from Philly and his wife from bmore wonder what they think when they visit each other same thing with will smith
So many beautiful buildings left to rot. So sad. Much love to Baltimore, hope this city can recover and thrive in the future. Blacks and Hispanics, we gotta work hard and educate our children so they can love their communities and want to build them stronger instead of wanting to run away. Invest in your community as much as you can, we cannot expect the government to offer a helping hand when they clearly don't care about us. This is a country run by the elite, all they care about is money and influence, as long as they have that they won't look twice at communities in need.
Yeah man it's sad, I love the old brick row homes. Many have been burnt and tore up over the years and it's hard to tear the ruined ones down with 2 houses on eachside, and even after you tear them down it's nearly impossible to do anything with the land. I hope it gets fixed up too
And this is after all them out of town "Good Samaritans" came out and cleaned up last year. Ya know...after Trump called it a Rat infested shit hole!!! IT IS!!!! They don't care.....they don't even try.
I went to a supermarket in the UK on Friday, it was very busy, maybe over 100 people shopping and squeezing past each other in the aisles. If you’re going to catch Coronavirus anywhere, it’s going to be there. I was the only person wearing a mask.
Ernest .....Ern, because everything else is nasty. The buildings that looks good at this time they were like the bad ones 50 years ago. They fixed them and is time again to start looking bad.
I'm from Baltimore and anywhere I visited like north Carolina says the same thing but I think they sound country myself we all have different accent ..
@Shamar Wright It is too overwhelming for the "Independent " city government of Baltimore to do this. They do have Lien tax sales every May to try a d boost the economy and give eduacted people an opportunity to help, monopolize or grown.

This the state that gonna bring martial law once those military folks start coming in 😂😂
@Richard Head they gotta learn the hard way smh
Richard Head tell that to the “covid quarantine protestors”
Don't see much social distancing here. But I bet that $1200 check will go to some good use, like new rims or a new chain and scratch offs.
I know that's right!
I lived in Maryland for 10 years. I’d say that most of Maryland looks like this. Now that’s not including the rich spacious neighborhoods of the farmland. But the buildings are very similar to lots of other places in Maryland. Tightly compacted brickwork houses with a homeless problem. A lot of old buildings that don’t have air conditioning. It sucks that due to gentrification and economic disparity certain areas aren’t maintained correctly. People always said not to go to certain places, but I honestly think it’s out of racism. I was never bothered by people on the street as long as I kept to my own business. But I also didn’t have nice car or nice clothes so maybe I didn’t look worth jumping haha idk
Also it cracks me up how in this video so many people just walk right in front of the cars. Yep they will do that lol
There are way too many people outside...
Aimee Webber yup, outside is fine, but you need social distancing and masks
shit just wait until it actually starts getting warm outside.....good luck with that shelter in place bullshit
This city is so depressing..... when I went there I felt INSTANT DEPRESSION. We as blacks shouldn't have got comfortable with this kind of living. I was suppose to stay 3 days I left the next day before noon.... Very, very, very abandoned town. Never saw anything like it. Reminds me how the Bronx and Harlem use to look back in the 80's
My home town this kinda shows you why we are out on the streets protesting not just because of cops it's because we have to live like this the leadership don't seem to care half of them don't even come down to this part of town out of site out of mind no investment in the community to all my Baltimore family speak up and hold those in power accountable much love to all stay safe and healthy
West Baltimore's Got Some Crazy Tetris Alleys, CharlieBo!
Some of those alleys he is taking makes him look like one of two things. The cops or the opps. Lol Either way he needs to be careful. My heart pounding for him.
Baltimore is cleaner than Philly. Philly must be the dirtiest looking city in the US
Lol stop talking about my city
It’s kinda sad seeing my city on here && everybody opinions😐but we gotta be out, that’s how we survive. In Baltimore alot of us teens have to fend for ourselves, we gotta get it someway🤷🏽♀️. Like me my mom stop taking care of me when I was 9 years old, I’m 16 now with 4 kids. 3 boys & 1 girl I love my kids, I just don’t want them to be like me && I don’t wanna be like my momma😔! (Who ever read this I’m sorry I just need to vent) && we don’t do thing just to do it. There’s a reason for everything we do!
Are you serious or is this some type of mockery. That's crazy
The cycle continues
John C yeah it is crazy but I got use to it
Maybe make your way out and then and only then maybe have children why put them in that situation. Otherwise they will be in the same sit....you know I'm wasting my time typing
John C I mean it’s hard I’m 16 with 4 kids, I didn’t wanna be a parent yet I wanted to be a kid but I wasn’t raised or taught properly, so I had to learn as I got older by myself
Now I understand why so many infected people and deaths in US. Greetings from Italy.
Italy isn't doing so great.
@@hannibalbarca771 in Italy troubles are in our hospitals. But almost nobody is outdoor like these gentlemen who are helping spreading the disease.
And when the media brings up the higher death rate for blacks they scratch their heads and wonder why, then blame racism.
sound like some sheep to me
Maryland doesn't look very "merry"
This just isn't how all of Maryland is, but yes, this is a very bad and unsafe part. Also, many other states have bad neighborhoods just like West Baltimore
@@sampate5194 yeah i know, but what's bad is bad enough, and the sad part is nice areas like Maryland shouldn't look like this at all.
Kinda sad but it never really did.. I still love it.
You can drive 15-20 minutes outside of the city and see beautiful rolling hills and waterfalls. The bad hoods don't define Baltimore and Baltimore doesn't define Maryland.
The people in Baltimore are very friendly. It's funny how nice they are given the circumstances. I've lived in safer cleaner cities where people were downright selfish and rude.
Hey Clarlie, you're doing God's work. More people need to see these videos, cause there are a lot of people who dont fully understand or know what is going on in these areas.
As usual, these people are ignored by the media, but if you are a business owner you get all of the heat.
Beast6228 facts
Jaime D earn a living in a place with 0 municipal investment. Are you seeing this place thriving with small business opportunity? Are you slow? Maryland is like the second richest state in America. You don’t know anything about corruption and the legacy of jim crown combined with northern like corruption. You are just another obnoxious white man. Smug with no historical reference or understanding.
And we are being rubber that the states are a country of opportunity.
Jaime D yes, must be nice to chastise poorer people in Baltimore. Very strange.. what a winner you are.
Americans get so passionate when singing " God bless America" so why dont they bless all of America by blessing these areas as well! Instead of government spending money goin to space as most folks will never go there, spend the money HERE!!!!
MaJaH corcoran 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Exactly!
Thanks Jeffrey but can I ask what EBT is and section 8? Could do with some info.....cheers!
Any The Wire fans over here ?
Avon and Stringer Bell ruled the East Side, I wonder if it looks different than the West Side.
Dominic G Avon and stringer were west side, prop joe was east side
Wheres wallace?
just started season 3 yesterday. great show
@@BP-ms6te nice..enjoy it..it truly is the BEST SHOW in the world
Bigger version of Camden with a different paint job.
It is also so sad to see all the trash and debris - that people don’t care to keep their community clean 🧽
Mimi P the rats need to eat too
Mimi P poverty will do that similar to trailer parks , tenement projects etc !!! Lower socioeconomics come into play.
The city isn’t rushing to put the same campaigns and tax dollars towards these LMI areas.
Everyone is at fault
Slums boi
I grew up there, and he rode past one of my former babysitter's homes....at least I think that was Smallwood he was on as he was heading toward Carver High at one point. The block looks the same. However, some of the other blocks where all or most of the homes were boarded up is heartbreaking. The block I grew-up on Poplar Grove and North Ave, is now boarded up or gone. To know that people used to live in those homes...and those homes were some people's pride and joy at one point. Geez. Wow. That's all I can say.
I am from Spain can someone tell me why CARS aren't bad at all if this people has no money? supose they are poor but I see nice new cars.
Albert Casals Maryland is an expensive place. An a very old place so a lot of the buildings look like that just because they are old. In order to make money you have to be able to drive so sometimes it’s easier to pay cheaper rent and invest more money into your transportation. You can’t just walk everywhere in most parts of USA you have to have a car. Also sometimes people just prefer to have a nice car so they pay the payments on that car until they pay it off then can get a nicer place. It just depends. There is a huge homeless problem tho
Car market bubble is about as big as the housing bubble of 2008, easy financing lots of default.
Albert Casals .....Al, in poor neighborhoods people always know how to hustle and make a dollar.
Because
1. cars are easy to buy on finance. Many people take a loan
2. there’s not many old cars still running. The cost of repair can be more than what the whole car is worth. Once a car body starts to corrode, it’s game over, you can’t stop the corrosion.
I was just in Baltimore literally a day ago! People hang outside like it's nothing, but you can't go in ANY stores without a mask on. Blessings and shoutout to Baltimore, Maryland.
West Baltimore is very sketchy, lots of crime there. I get news report alerts all the time and a lot is in west Baltimore related crime.
If I went there a armored tank would what I be in
Me too! And I don’t even live in the city anymore.
Yea, East side has all the good Angels living there, no crime, no trouble.
captrock H 😂😂😂😂
I wish that some street names were visible. I have no idea where he is except West Baltimore.
Dam B-more what happened.. oh the mayor must of smoke up all the money those house wasn’t fix up since the 60s wtf..😜🤪🤬
Does anyone else get the feeling all of America has been left to rot. Every part. The whole thing. As if it is not needed anymore. U.S. fought the Germans, it was a trick, they didnt want a central banking system. Now it's everywhere. We are all pawns of a rich man's game.
Baltimore MD murder rate April 2019: 78
Baltimore MD murder rate April 2020: 81

Looks like Philly New Jersey.......gotta drive around Harrisburg pa..I live 5 minutes away......and steelton south13 street
Sam Stoner .....Sam, same people, they move around every 15 or 20 years. Easy to do. Some go to Luisiana.
Harrisburg?? Why is he gonna drive around the burbs? Nothing going on there
@@disgruntledviewer2763 its the capital and it's dirty....drug infessted
@@disgruntledviewer2763 that's why silly
@@disgruntledviewer2763 Looks like he drove in Harrisburg.moron
Baltimore needs to kick all these people out, clean up the area, repair the homes and re-create the amazing place it used to be.
My neck of the woods 💯💪🏿
Stay safe! 🙏
@@hardcyd3r I will I appreciate that 🙏
Thank you for the journey Charlie 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Damn and I thought North Philadelphia was bad, they just took the cake!!
Finding someone with a mask here is like finding Waldo.
6:33, 10:35, 11:25! Triple Waldo!
Cant find any
So what are you saying? What is the point of this video . I live in Baltimore and this a quite day in the hood.
Why you so defensive?
@@thenicholas7780 Because Shes saying her experience You Noisy fuck. This video is nothing "scary"
Was watching this fully expecting to see Bubs walking along with his shopping cart lol
NICE 👍👍I GOT SOME GOOD NYC FOOTAGE !! BE SAFE OUT THERE BRO 💪💪

Put them to work picking up some of that trash.
Oh no,the 'W' word! And whats up with that "them" thing?Whatcha mean by dat??
(Just having fun here.) You would think they would at least pick up what's in front of their house. smh
Wish i were a funeral director in all the hoods, i'd be a multi millionaire!
Lol It's Like That Out Here Too In Cali People Still Out Partying 🤦🏽♀️
Same here in Atlanta
That's why mfs dieng
I want to hug a sister, I'm feeling so lonely.
Ppl from California have are dumb and dont care that's y
Its like that in every hood rn and I predicted it would be and that black ppl would have the higher rates but although ik there are other factors but niggas for sure can't get away from chilling n partying, pandemic or not niggas gon die partying.
That 'Car Wash' sign lying down by the post at 8:02 is such a perfect image lmao
I watch stuff like this stoned lol anyone else ?
Philly and Baltimore look similar to me but the streets in Bmore are way wider than here lol
(Edit) at 3:55 you cant tell me that ain’t Philly lol
LLQ 4Ever they look to familiar Kevin Hart from Philly and his wife from bmore wonder what they think when they visit each other same thing with will smith
So many beautiful buildings left to rot. So sad. Much love to Baltimore, hope this city can recover and thrive in the future. Blacks and Hispanics, we gotta work hard and educate our children so they can love their communities and want to build them stronger instead of wanting to run away. Invest in your community as much as you can, we cannot expect the government to offer a helping hand when they clearly don't care about us. This is a country run by the elite, all they care about is money and influence, as long as they have that they won't look twice at communities in need.
Yeah man it's sad, I love the old brick row homes. Many have been burnt and tore up over the years and it's hard to tear the ruined ones down with 2 houses on eachside, and even after you tear them down it's nearly impossible to do anything with the land. I hope it gets fixed up too
Amen, to that.
Half way through I realized this isn't the Los Angeles. 😂
Trash all over the place loool
Pretty
The whole place is trash
And this is after all them out of town "Good Samaritans" came out and cleaned up last year.
Ya know...after Trump called it a Rat infested shit hole!!! IT IS!!!!
They don't care.....they don't even try.
Trees are scarce, trash on the ground is plentiful...at first glance I thought it was snow on one corner....depressing.
Now I have the urge to watch The Wire again.
Me too... lol!
Keshonda Baldwin Oh, indeed.
Me too
WEST BALTIMORE QUANRENTINEEE SONG OUT NOW I NEED SUPPORT I LOVE MY CITY MUCH LOVE...HAE KEEZY
Not one mask in sight🤦♀️🤦♀️
mask at 2:48
@@homiixide haha Ice Cube
I went to a supermarket in the UK on Friday, it was very busy, maybe over 100 people shopping and squeezing past each other in the aisles. If you’re going to catch Coronavirus anywhere, it’s going to be there.
I was the only person wearing a mask.
Mask are for only stick up boys
@@notmenotme614 that's good news. It means coronavirus obviously ain't as bad as we're constantly told.
Police don't go here to enforce a thing.
B more is a beautiful city. Keep yall heads up
🤟🏾
No it's not. How much crack have you smoked. How much crack have your people served to you
Bmore is a SCARY city😱😱
Thanks for the tour of West Baltimore!
Why is the street nasty,
Ernest .....Ern, because everything else is nasty. The buildings that looks good at this time they were like the bad ones 50 years ago. They fixed them and is time again to start looking bad.
You hardly see any grocery stores out there 👀
He's driving around in circles we have plenty
When watching this video, all I can hear in my head is how black ppl from Baltimore pronounce "too". It's more like "teww". So weird.
noticed that on the wire lmao
I'm from Baltimore and anywhere I visited like north Carolina says the same thing but I think they sound country myself we all have different accent ..
They pronounce dog as in “dug”. I heard it all the time while I was in MCI a few years back.
Why are most of the houses abandoned? Shouldn’t government Renovate them and rent them to new tenants?
The CUMMINGS family skimmed the FED.& STATE funds.
@Shamar Wright It is too overwhelming for the "Independent " city government of Baltimore to do this. They do have Lien tax sales every May to try a d boost the economy and give eduacted people an opportunity to help, monopolize or grown.
This video makes me want to go watch the wire over again...
