NeoAnnapolitain

So I've been here in Annapolis for about 5 months now. Long enough to fall in love with my new home town.

Being a born and bred Baltimorian, I was definitely skeptical of my own stubborn soul's ability to embrace a new, softer city. Baltimore is a tough ass town with a wickedly cool music and art scene. It is the center or all that goes on in the great state of Murland. Where you wanna go to party, where the Zoo and aquarium are, where some of my favorite museums and restaurants are. Wanna have a good time? come visit Baltimore. But if you are looking for a quiet comfortable place to live and raise a family, its a hit or miss down the old ratty residential streets of Bodymore.

Of Course, there are very desirable areas to live in and travel to in Charm City. But around the corner from every half a million dollar priced town home is the seedy underbelly of a struggling violent skid row. And its not like DC where you can pay a bum to watch your car. You wont have enough money left after you see the parking rates.

Now I know there are people in that city that are good, hardworking moral people. But there is an overwhelming majority of uneducated, drug hustling fools running the streets like they own this town. Disrespecting this town, other people, and though they are to blind to see it, themselves in the process. And because all these morons have decided that they don't need a real job or to pay taxes or the child support they never planned on paying, The hard working middle class that makes up a large majority of the taxes paid had to pick up their slack. But they can't possible cover all the societal damages caused by this new breed of city folk who is to busy living the bmore dream to care. drinkin forties and smokin blunts all day. what more is there to life?

So long story short the Mayor and her minions needed to come up with some way to close the giant budget gash thats been plaguing the city for the better part of the 2ks. One of those ways being a bottle tax. 2 cents a bottle. thats right two pennies. most of you have this under the seat of you car. Yet, this is causing a huge stir among residents and store owner.


ITS TWO FUCKING CENTS YOU COCK SMOKING ASSTARDS!!!! TO PAY FOR THE MESS YOU FUCKING MAKE WHEN YOU DECIDE RECYCLING OR EVEN LOCATING A TRASH CAN ON THE CORNER ISNT WORTH MAKING THE EFFORT!!!! IF YOU ARE TOO PO0R TO PAY A TWO CENT TAX INCREASE ON BOTTLES AND CANS, DRINK SOME WATER, ITS FREE FROM THE FAUCET.

I'm not rich. I am a waitress with no benefits trying to pay a mortgage who needs to save all I can. But the one thing I wont bitch about paying is taxes. actually I dont complain about paying anything because I think its rude and selfish. So as much as I love you Bmore, good riddance my former neighbors. I highly recommend annapolis to anyone who cant take it anymore.

My God be on your side Baltimore. I can't be anymore.
