Description: I hope this dude has AAA, because he ran outta gas halfway across the street.
I don’t want to discourage people from giving to the less fortunate, but I’m pretty sure if you give this dude money you can write it off on your taxes as a charitable donation to the MS-13.
We received this message about a week back and it made the last two years worth it. Lots of people in Baltimore volunteer their time to this site so the girl in this story could make an informed decision, and we appreciate the submissions and support. Here’s what your submissions are doing:
Months back I use to sit back with my friends and shoot dope watching your site blossom…but looking back at it I realize that some friends were disgusted by the fiends you showcase. This one case specifically kept this girl from taking her first bag. In a strange way your site is a PSA with a purpose. I applaud you, 7 months zombie dust free.

Congrats on seven months, keep it up! And thank you again for letting us know we could help.

Description: Listen… I’ll be the first to tell you that Baltimore is in fact a safe place to live/work/play regardless of what all the suburbanites and Wire watchers of the world tell you. However, (dramatic pause), a lean like this directly in front of the Grand Central on a Friday evening is just asking for trouble.

She has an elegant educated lean that almost makes it seem as if she’s not high on heroin.
Got this message on my Facebook page.
Seriously dude… I’m guessing the subtlety of this site is lost in translation. Even so, I live in Baltimore, I don’t need to fly halfway around the world to score some dope, I need to walk two and a half blocks out of my way to NOT score some dope.

Description: This weekend a lot of people in the Baltimore area had their image of the suburbs shattered as the ‘civility’ bubble around Columbia was penetrated by a crazed gunman. In light of this event I wanted to take this moment to reassure all my Baltimore area readers, both city and suburb, that no matter where you live it is a raging, festering, complete-and-utter shithole.
I often hear people in suburbs a mere stone-throw away from the Baltimore line exclaim their geographical superiority to those whose homes they could walk to based solely on an invisible boarder which they believe separated them from “the bad area”. I want to reassure them that no matter what they have lead themselves to believe, they are most certainly still frighteningly likely to be violently taken from this earth at a moments notice for events that may not involve them at all.
This dude may run out of money for his next fix and decide to borrow their wallet, or his dealer may decide to expand into new neighborhoods and they may be caught in the middle of the expansion effort. Regardless of the reasoning, you are most certainly, 100%, undeniably living in a fucking horrible place.
Conversely, people in the city are often downplaying the excitement of the suburbs, criticizing the lack of transit and activities. Let me assure you, there is nothing more exciting than facing death straight in the eyes as you traverse the roads after a light dusting of snow. It takes balls to live in a place where you lose power after a light breeze blows through your development, and the days it takes BG&E to restore that power has been described as a roller coaster of emotion.
So lets place our petty differences aside people of the Baltimore region, and just agree that whether or not you’re city or county we all live in the fucking asshole of America, where our lived could be wretched from our hands without a moments notice and there isn’t shit any of us can do about it.

Description: I received this one last summer, and it’s a great pic but there are a few things which make it not a great score. The first and foremost, the dude is sitting down in a chair. I’ve said it time and time again; shooting heroin and then sitting down is like jumping the grand canyon with training wheels on your bike… fucking lame.

Description: How fucking hardcore are the dope fiends in Baltimore city? Phillip Seymour Hoffman bought dope from Baltimore once… once.
Too soon?
Damn! I forgot to pack a spoon again!

Really sick of the “Baltimore, You’re Breaking My Heart” blog post whining about my beloved city. I decided to respond…
He’s right, this ad is way less shady than driving into the city…

Got this posted to my Facebook wall. Let’s help this guy out Baltimore. Please read the message below:

I need your help This little girl has been missing for over a week now. She is 15 years old and her…
Very impressed with the response to yesterday’s post. Baltimore really stepped it up (as well as many other areas around the country!). Please visit and follow the Facebook page created for Briana for more pictures and updates, and from the people at TGOH we wish her a safe return.
And now back to our regularly scheduled program…

Description: If the Doublemint twins lived in Baltimore and were homeless this is probably how those commercials would go. Of course one of them would also have to be an old man, but why split hairs?
I REALLY like this picture and I can’t quite place it. Maybe it’s nostalgia… If it didn’t have the Hopkins tower rising like the Eye of Sauron in the background I’d say it’s straight out of the 80s.

One of the most creative submissions to date. I’ve been out sick and thought I’d share before getting back to business.

Description: It’s ironic that the thing that makes Baltimore the greatest city in America are the passed out zombies on benches that say “Baltimore - The Greatest City in America”.
I think I made that point before, but it’s worth repeating.
This one is particularly interesting because if there is one thing more awesome than a junkie tripping balls on a bus stop bench, it’s a junkie tripping balls on a bus stop bench in a muscle suit. I’m guessing with that coat we may have found John Water’s long fabled “meat man” in the flesh (even though I’m pretty sure it’s a woman).
"The suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth."
Good read. This dude basically reiterates what I said, but with less mention of his genitalia.
Just shared a video posted to my facebook page which is worth a look. Other cities are starting to get into the leaner treasure hunt and raising the bar for our home-grown talent. First Philly with a perfect five last month and now Oakland with some long-leaning talent which can go toe-to-toe with the best from Lexington Market.
Can’t port the video, so visit my Facebook page to see the video.
