I'm not originally from Baltimore, but I lived there for 8 years before moving to England. Started out in Carney for one year, moved to Fell's Point for a year, then bought my house next to Patterson Park.
Speaking of John Water's, his movie "Pink Flamingos" made Channel 4's list of 50 films you must see before you die. I haven't seen this one....but oh my! The very last scene is Divine eating dog poo off the street!
