Reservoir Hill

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors" - Plato

Adam's been busy in Baltimore - keeping his Buy A Block movement alive. If you haven't read my previous blog entry about Adam - check it... One Night In Baltimore. Here are a few more photos from my night in Baltimore.

Here's Adam sitting in my favorite spot in the Otto Bar.

The Baltimore Boys

Adam wrote a letter about the current state of the Reservoir Hill Neighborhood in Baltimore. In 2002, the City promised that there would be home owners living in houses in Reservoir Hill. Its almost 2006 and 3 houses have people living in them and 200 are still empty.

Check out his letter that prompted heated debates and the article, City officials dispute criticism of SCOPE program, in The Daily Record, Maryland's Business and Legal News.

One Night In Baltimore...

About two weeks into my stay with Lindsay & Co, I met up with Adam and his buddies in Baltimore.

Adam is brilliant and if you want to have a good time in Baltimore, call him. He started a movement called Buy a Block encouraging Baltimoreans to buy homes en masse in run down neighborhoods in order to slowly reclaim and clean up the city. Read an article printed in Baltimore's City Paper - Block Party.

We checked out an art opening and then headed over to the Otto Bar for their Underground night featuring britpop, indie, new wave, and electro dance.

Something about this stage... everyone likes to get freaky on it.

Adam hosted the after party and this is me shortly before my tired ass froze hanging out on his rooftop. I was bummed that I didn't enjoy the view as long as I would of liked. I was lame - I was inside talking on my cellie with the guys who were up on the rooftop!
