Windy days in the city can be like that. Thanks for pitching in to help clean up.

Have you been to Philly? Filthy.

Same, but also I saw the large recycling bins distributed on my block, only to be filled with garbage. Education would go a long way, but I suppose this is true for more than just this issue.

Philly is filthy

Yes and the DPW has been an issue

If people got paid to turn in trash theft would be out of control.

Bmore seriously cannot be the filthest city in the US.

Lived in Brooklyn NY for 5 years. Like 10x filthier than Baltimore, not even close. In NYC, garbage is left out on the curb since they have no alleys, so there's just garbage and rats like 2 days a week. Not saying Baltimore is immaculate but this whole thread is just so far removed from reality lol.

I visited Portland this spring and was pretty shocked too. Just covered in garbage. Yet somehow it's so damn expensive and has this positive reputation? For all its faults, at least Baltimore is cheap lol

I was a SF customer for maybe 9 or 10 years, and yes: they are expensive and act shifty whenever you actually need to use your insurance. They tried to drop me for no reason, had to get the state involved at which point they said "oh it was just an error."

Litter is a huge problem in the city. Unfortunately environmental stewardship must be taught, and it just isn’t.

My dad is in San Francisco for work right now and he says he can't leave his hotel and there are armed guards at the door. Also, his coworkers saw some men beat some random person up on the sidewalk -- sounds awful.

I am so glad they can’t see us. My first forays into NPR was listening to the coverage of Katrina in NO from my century row home bathroom—it was so warm that you would just get home and shower, shower just to cool off. I could not hack it for my full year there. But I was hooked.

1 car.

What exactly is the $1200 covering? We have two cars and a house and are now paying approximately $2000 a year with Allstate.

I thought I was going crazy when I heard it. Wow, good on ya Ashley!

Now, let's head over to Matt Tacka with traffic*

*I know he doesn't do traffic anymore, but that's what popped into my head.

And nice people

This is a good idea.

I don’t listen but great for you! Be you.

Try finding a garbage can. You need to walk for blocks. There should be at least a few on every block downtown.

$200something with Geico.

It's rising but I'm not jumping. The last 2 times I did, I didn't get the service I do with Geico.

Geico takes care of any and all issues. Progressive and state farm act shifty.

Lol at a red light on North Ave I was jumped out of my car to toss back the BAG of trash a guy threw out of his window onto the street. Immediately self evaluating— “well that was fucking stupid “.

London, Dublin, Madison, Wisconsin, Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque, Philadelphia, Newark NJ, Atlanta, Memphis— off the top of my head the last few cities I have traveled to that were MUCH cleaner than Baltimore. And yes, Philly IS cleaner. Baltimore is the filthiest city I have ever lived in (and I have lived in a few mid sized cities). With the exception of LA it’s the dirtiest city I have ever been to.

I grew up poor AND my family taught me values and respect. I have never thrown shit on the ground.
