Just to let you know. Washington DC is a hellish city with an insane traffic grid.
On the other hand, Baltimore understands the value of having intersections with 90 degree angles and no crazy traffic circles with 10 one way streets coming out of them.

Go Ravens. That is all.

1. We can spell.
Eutaw St.

Really?? Of all the ways one could spell Utah...you went with E-U-T-A-W. Then you put the only thing in town worth visiting (Camden Yards) on said street. You have any idea how difficult that makes giving directions through downtown Baltimore?

I'm teasing. I used to commute from Baltimore to DC. It took me months to convince people that Baltimore was not like Homicide: Life on the Streets or The Wire and they were not going to be gunned down the second they stepped off the MARC. Still...DC is home. Even if I haven't lived there in years.

2. This San Diegan agrees.
Baltimore is far superior to DC except for the food.

3. Ever been to Philadelphia? The map of the city looks like several spider webs!
Drove me insane.

4. Only if you leave Center City.
I'm not really sure why anybody leaves Center City unless they live in Roxborough, Manayunk, Fishtown, etc. It's not like there is anything of interest outside of the downtown area. Center City is a nice grid. The outlying city with it's arterials and streets that skip over entire blocks...not so much fun.

5. I blame it on the French!

First they help us break away from Canada.
Then a Frenchie designs DC.
Then they ship us a pile of bronze and make us put it up on valuable land in New York harbor.

GEEEZ

6. I hate to say this but, um, GO RAVENS
I'd like to see the entire NFC East go down in flames this week, well everyone but my beloved Eagles who kicked some Giants butt!
