So, during the stay-cation last week, the Brain took one of our guests on the Camden Yards ball park tour.  During the tour, the guide talked about Ridgely’s Delight (yay!).  However, it was interesting to note that the TRUE area known as Ridgely’s Delight is, in fact, the area of the neighborhood NORTH of Washington Boulevard. 

According to the guide, the part of the neighborhood to the south is actually part of Pigtown (which is where the pigs would run from the train yard to the slaughter houses?), but the residents petitioned the City of Baltimore in the 1970′s to be annexed into Ridgely’s Delight.   Posers.

Just read the B’more Guide (serving the residents of Federal Hill, South Baltimore, Locust Point, and more!), and there’s no police blotter this week.

How am I supossed to find out how many idiots had their GPS units stolen, or on which corner someone hit someone else with a brick and then ran away, or how many 14 y/o’s were robbed at bus stops of their pay-as-you-go cell phones and bus passes??

The police blotter rocks–as long as crime stays far away from Ridgely’s and from me–like across MLK in Pigtown.
