Location: Eastern Avenue and Eaton Street, Highlandtown, Baltimore, MD
Rating: 2.9/5
Description: There is something unique about this picture and it’s not the passed out dude with a 50’s greaser hairdo. I can’t get over what’s in this guy’s shopping bag - did he just buy a PHONE BOOK!?
Please tell me I’m seeing this wrong, because it looks like to me like this man took out his wallet and threw down cold hard cash for an item which routinely clogs the drainage in downtown Baltimore once a year. If that is in fact a phone book I wonder how much he paid?!
Only in Highlandtown, a neighborhood surrounded on all sides by yuppie affluence but is still fighting the Formstone ban on new construction. I mean where else would you find not only a person looking for a phone book, but a store which regularly stocks and sells them!
It’s unique neighborhoods like this that make Baltimore far from Anywhere, USA and truly the Greatest City in America (benches don’t lie).
