Dan Rodricks: Yeah, Baltimore, we can have nice things, like these 2023 Orioles

This is Baltimore, Queen City of the Patapsco Drainage Basin. It doesn’t take much to keep us happy around here. We want good neighbors and friendly dogs. We want to see tall ships in the Inner Harbor once in a while. Give us an excellent crabcake now and then, a cold beer, a juicy corned beef-on-rye, decent pizza, clean tap water and a snowball in July. We want strong schools and safe streets. We want an adequate supply of toilet paper for when it snows.
