Just a Baltimorean driving around city streets... mostly Baltimore, but I get around to other cities too from time to time. Occasionally I'll offer my thoughts on some issues that seem relevant, sometimes I won't. Let me know what you'd like to see more of and I'll do my best to get it.
America's Crumbling Empire
Cities all over the country from Philadelphia to Detroit and Baltimore to Camden are a shell of their former glory. Industry has all but left this country and we are left with a large portion of the population struggling to make ends meet. Drug abuse has skyrocketed and historically low crime of 10 years ago has begun to tick back up. We need to get back to basics, focus on our families, our faith, our community and our health.

Once a major hub of industry, Chester PA has seen a major decline over the past 5 decades. More than half of the city's population has left, leaving behind an empty, somewhat surreal scene. There have been some glimmers of hope for the city in recent years but it is unlikely that the city will ever return to where it once was.
