First Post

First Post!  Hmmm.  Well I can say that I have no idea how to write, work this blog, or where to start. 

So what the hell do you do if you come to Baltimore?  What does Baltimore do well?  In the words of Mike Marra, soon to be former Department of the Army employee, "Baltimore does food and booze".  He's right!  Baltimore has a rich nightlife to go with an equally rich history.  If you want to know about history, go to another blog.  But I hope this blog will offer a fun and insightful view on Baltimore for those people who might not know Baltimore all that well. 

I started this blog at the suggestion (continued pestering) of my coworkers at the Department of the Army, Doug Bailly and Scott Steele.  I'm surely not the Baltimore Ambassador that they claim I am, but I'd like to consider myself as someone who has stumbled through Baltimore and learned something on the way. 

I'm going to end this first blog with a note to those people who moved from New Jersey in the recently completed BRAC.  Stop whining about the lack of Jersey-style pizza in Maryland.  You live in Harford County.  Come to Baltimore.  I'm sure you will find the pizza and everything else is done better in Baltimore versus Aberdeen.
