I’m an everything Baltimore fan. -Josh Charles
The cities of America are inexpressibly tedious. The Bostonians take their learning too sadly; culture with them is an accomplishment rather than an atmosphere; their Hub, as they call it, is the paradise of prigs. Chicago is a sort of monster-shop, full of bustles and bores. Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry. Baltimore is amusing for a week, but Philadelphia is dreadfully provincial; and though one can dine in New York one could not dwell there. -Oscar Wilde
What I like best in Baltimore is the people, the neighborhoods and what goes on in the neighborhoods. Each has its own stories, own diners and own quirks. It’s about community. I also like everything Old Bay. -Barbara Mikulski
Going to live at Baltimore laid the foundation, and opened the gateway, to all my subsequent prosperity. -Frederick Douglass
Anyone can love a perfect place. Loving Baltimore takes some resilience. -Laura Lippman
Baltimore is warm but pleasant… I belong here, where everything is civilized and gay and rotted and polite. -F. Scott Fitzgerald
The best image to sum up the unconscious is Baltimore in the early morning. -Jacques Lacan
Baltimore never changes much. People aren’t impressed by anything. It’s great; it’s not a trendy town. -John Waters
Once upon a time Baltimore was necessary. -Gertrude Stein
Baltimore is a great place. -Julie Bowen
If we can rebuild Iraq, we can rebuild Illinois and Indiana and if we can do Baghdad, we can do Baltimore. -Carol Moseley Braun
There is a saying in Baltimore that crabs may be prepared in fifty ways and that all of them are good. -H. L. Mencken
I have enjoyed the years enormously in Cleveland and especially in Baltimore -Art Modell
Well I am from Annapolis Maryland. I went to High school in Baltimore, but I grew up in Annapolis. It was a cute town. We lived on a waterfront community. It was good, even though I don’t really fit the preppy boater kind of style. -Christian Siriano
I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams. -Josh Charles
If Baltimore’s view, that scientists who do not take the words of authorities are far removed from the ordinary behavior of scientists, prevails in the scientific community, then something fundamental, very serious, and very disturbing is happening to the scientific community. -Serge Lang
Having secured my Indian actors, I started for Baltimore, where I organized my combination, and which was the largest troupe I had yet had on the road. -Buffalo Bill
We started playing the Baltimore Colts early, and I was still very impressed with Johnny Unitas, who just passed away recently. I thought he was one of the best quarterbacks at the time when I was very young, he was in his prime. -Bob Lilly
To play today in London, next week in Madrid and the week after that in Warsaw is a bit better than playing Newark and Baltimore and Philadelphia. I’ve been doing that for 20 years. -Norman Granz
I had an opportunity with Baltimore to make it to the World Series, and that didn’t happen. -Bobby Bonilla
In Baltimore, kids grow up very quickly. You’re placed in a lot of situations that a child shouldn’t be in and a lot of Baltimore kids lose innocence very soon. -Sheldon Candis
You know why I love Chicago? Because this is just like Baltimore. Like, you can’t go to Baltimore and be fake. They gonna point you right out, like, “Nah, you fake, go ahead outta here.” They’re going to chew you up and spit you out if you’re fake. And if you come to Chicago, you can’t be fake, in terms of the love and the concern. You gotta be real. Your good intentions – people want to feel that. We don’t get enough of that. -Felicia Pearson
Got a wife and kid in Baltimore Jack, I went out for a ride and I never went back. Like a river that don’t know where it’s flowing, I took a wrong turn and I just kept going. -Bruce Springsteen
Justice needs to be served, what I think people of Baltimore want more than anything else is the truth. That’s what people around the country expect. -Barack Obama
We moved to Baltimore, Maryland, in 1979, when I was five. The funny thing is that, even though Baltimore had one of the top murder rates in the country in those days, I grew up hearing about how dangerous New York was. -Philipp Meyer
I might refer at once, if necessary, to a hundred well authenticated instances. One of very remarkable character, and of which the circumstances may be fresh in the memory of some of my readers, occurred, not very long ago, in the neighboring city of Baltimore, where it occasioned a painful, intense, and widely extended excitement. -Edgar Allan Poe
My favorite characters are people who think they’re normal but they’re not. I live in Baltimore, and it’s full of people like that. I’ve also lived in New York, which is full of people who think they’re crazy, but they’re completely normal. -John Waters
When immigrants go into the worse neighborhood and they fix it up, they should become citizens. I think that your people, when you save a place. But the problem is, then you see immigrants saving cities in Baltimore and you see 40 Korean groceries get burned down. -Greg Gutfeld
Baltimore’s often called the most northern Southern town. It has a distinct essence. It’s definitely post-industrial, definitely Rust Belt, very working-class. I grew up outside of Washington, and I felt I was moving to a completely different place when I moved 30 miles north out of college. -David Simon
It’s not enough to celebrate the ideals that we’re built on, liberty and justice and equality for all. Those just can’t be words on paper, the work of every generation is to make those words mean something, concrete in the lives of our children. And we won’t get there as long as kids in Baltimore or Ferguson or New York or Appalachia or the Mississippi delta or the Pine Ridge reservation believe that their lives are somehow worthless. -Barack Obama
I think Baltimore suffers from nostalgia and it keeps us from being honest in talking about what really happened here. A place doesn’t have to be perfect to be beloved, and I love this city and I love it better for seeing its flaws. -Laura Lippman
America is a country that is now utterly divided when it comes to its society, its economy, its politics. There are definitely two Americas. I live in one, on one block in Baltimore that is part of the viable America, the America that is connected to its own economy, where there is a plausible future for the people born into it. -David Simon
I have lived in one house in Baltimore for nearly forty-five years. It has changed in that time, as I have – but somehow it still remains the same. No conceivable decorator’s masterpiece could give me the same ease. It is as much a part of me as my two hands. If I had to leave it I’d be as certainly crippled as if I lost a leg. -H. L. Mencken
…Baltimore. It’s imperfect. Boy, is it imperfect. And there are parts of its past that make you wince. It’s not all marble steps and waitresses calling you ‘hon,’ you know. Racial strife in the sixties, the riots during the Civil War. F. Scott Fitzgerald said it was civilized and gay, rotted and polite. The terms are slightly anachronistic now, but I think he was essentially right. -Laura Lippman
The people of Baltimore are great. I love Baltimore. What I looked forward to, every year, was getting a new apartment in a different part of town and hanging out. People started to see you in the character that you were, so everyone thought I was real police. -Wendell Pierce
Baltimore is permissiveness. The pleasures of the flesh, the table, the bottle, and the purse are tolerated with a civilized understanding. -Russell Baker
Late one night our house was attacked with stones and bricks by five or six young Christians, and my father got very upset and frightened. Well, the next day he dropped dead of a heart attack. The community knew very well that he had a heart condition, so I lay a murder to the city of Baltimore. -Madalyn Murray O’Hair
The financial history of the Baltimore and Ohio since the close of the nineteenth century is interesting chiefly in connection with changes in the control of the property -John Moody
It seems that in Baltimore, one of the most violent cities in America, jurors are far more reluctant to convict criminal defendants than in the suburban enclaves that ring the city. -David Simon
I grew up in a suburb of Baltimore with an extremely high concentration of Jewish families – where the Levys and Cohens in the high school yearbook went on for pages, where I could count far more temples than I ever could churches. Anti-Semitism, in our cultural biodome, was mostly an abstract concept. -Jeffrey Kluger
I grew up in Baltimore which is a one of the biggest drug cities. I’ve seen a lot of drugs… so it was always around me, but I never really indulged in those type of activities. I never used drugs in my life and I was blessed enough with the wisdom and the strength to move forward. -Mario
Yet again, the family of a young black man is grieving a life cut short. Yet again, the streets of an American city are marred by violence. What we have seen in Baltimore should, indeed I think does, tear at our soul. -Hillary Clinton
What is left of the poor? Try to buy a fresh f**king vegetable in West Baltimore. It is a not completely inconceivable scenario in the future, we’ll all look like that… Waddling from convenience store to fast food outlet, chewing mindlessly on 99 cent hamburgers. -Anthony Bourdain
I would never want to live anywhere but Baltimore. You can look far and wide, but you’ll never discover a stranger city with such extreme style. It’s as if every eccentric in the South decided to move north, ran out of gas in Baltimore, and decided to stay. -John Waters
I think when you have Baltimore, which in the first night was practically wiped out or brought back 30 years. Because the police were instructed to stand down. You can’t let that happen. -Donald Trump
He’s the leader on this team, I know when Baltimore let us have him, they thought they were giving us a problem. I’ll take problems like that anytime. -George Steinbrenner
The kind of violence, looting, destruction that we saw from a handful of individuals in Baltimore, there’s no excuse for that. That’s not a statement. That’s not politics. That’s not activism. That’s just criminal behavior. -Barack Obama
I would rather have come to Baltimore than the Yankees. You look at their situation, they’re the kingpin and you want to be that underdog that knocks them off the top. That’s pretty much the situation I’ve been in my whole career. It just makes for a better season when you knock the big guys off the top. -Albert Belle
I’ve been treated there (Camden Yards in Baltimore) just like everywhere else: you got everyone booing for you. I take that as a compliment. -Albert Belle
So much happened (in 1968) it was hard to keep up with everything. We had Denny McLain’s thirty-one victories, Gates Brown’s great pinch-hitting in the clutch, Tom Matchick’s home run to beat Baltimore in the ninth inning, then Daryl Patterson striking out the side to beat them in the ninth. Excitement every day in the ballpark. -Ernie Harwell
[My father] came over as an immigrant and didn’t know any English. He went to work at a sweat shop in Baltimore. He told me later that this guy was coming around, and the guy seemed to be for the workers, so he signed up. It turned out that guy was an IWW organizer . My father didn’t regret signing up; he just really didn’t know what was going on. -Noam Chomsky
I don’t even know if I ever knew – some sweatshop in Baltimore. I knew with my other relatives – some of the women were in the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union and men were shop boys and things like that. I happened to be in Philadelphia, but the family was in New York. I could see what the union was doing for them.It really saved their lives. -Noam Chomsky
A lot of kids are moving to Baltimore, because we have a great music scene and we’ve got edge. Come on down, we’ve got scary edge. But great edge – it’s still a city you can be a bohemian in. -John Waters
I live in San Francisco, I live in Provincetown. They’re all the same, apart from Baltimore. Baltimore’s the only cheap place left. -John Waters
I couch-surfed for years. But I always wanted to live in Baltimore; I still do. If I had to choose, it would always be Baltimore. -John Waters
My mom had a Canon AE1 camera and I read the manual and that’s basically how I became a photographer. I was in the Baltimore punk scene. I knew it was a special time, so I went out and documented that whole era. I was the only person to really do it of my friends in real black and white, beautiful portraits. -Jeff Vespa
I used to run away to New York from Baltimore all the time.I would get on the Greyhound bus and tell my parents I was going to some sorority weekend. I’d even make up fake permission slips, come to New York and just ask people on the street if I could stay with them and go see midnight movies. -John Waters
I’m a Baltimore Ravens fan and I’m a Baltimore Orioles fan. I have them tattooed on me. -Carmelo Anthony
I’m a different kind of Republican. I’ve introduced a five-year balanced budget. I’ve introduced the largest tax cut in our history. I stood for ten and a half hours on the Senate floor to defend your right to be left alone. But I’ve also gone to Chicago. I’ve gone to Detroit. I’ve been to Ferguson, I’ve been to Baltimore, because I want our party to be bigger, better and bolder… -Rand Paul
We’ve actually seen Black man murders [in] many a major city in the United States – New York City, St. Louis, Missouri, from Cleveland to Baltimore. It was those sorts of incidents that were very much prevalent in the forefront of that jury’s conscience that allowed them to believe that this man [O.J. Simpson] could have been set up. -Sterling K. Brown
The first thing we should be concerned about the BLM movement should be the issues that the Black Lives Matter movement is bringing forward. There’s no fundamental platform being brought by activists in Oakland, Baltimore, or New Jersey. The main issues that you see, the commonality between activists all around the country, are trying to deal with the challenges in the criminal justice system, something that is very much central to my work. So my hope is that people stay focused on the urgency to create justice here at home. -Cory Booker
We’ll always be grateful for the love we’ve received from all of our fans and supporters, and for winning a Super Bowl. I’ll always be proud to say I played for the Baltimore Ravens. -Ray Rice
What care though rival cities soar
Along the stormy coast,
Penn’s town, New York, Baltimore,
If Boston knew the most! -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Being from Baltimore, I’m a crab cake snob, and I’m very particular on where I eat my crab cakes. -Mark Teixeira
I love Baltimore, I want to retire a raven -Jacoby Jones
I don’t pay any attention to what the Baltimore Sun editorial page says about anything. -Bob Ehrlich
He is the Baltimore Ravens. He’s their franchise. -Hines Ward
Years ago, while I was watching a baseball game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Texas Rangers, I remember staring in awe at Cal Ripken. I realized during this game that ‘you don’t have to be flashy’ or have ‘power numbers’ to be great. It’s about the simple things that are the hard things. It’s about leadership, work ethic and commitment. -Ron White
I am so proud to be the Baltimore Ravens’ first Hall of Fame inductee. -Jonathan Ogden
Dean Bartoli Smith’s Never Easy, Never Pretty will help satisfy the hunger of so many Baltimore Ravens fans wishing to re-live the club’s remarkable 2012 title year. It’s a virtual play-by-play re-enactment. But, more than that, it’s about the long love affair that’s consumed so many in Baltimore, which commenced with a team called the Colts and continues, strong as ever, with the beloved Ravens. -Michael Olesker
Over a 10-season stretch from 1967 to 1976, eight Super Bowl champions either were the Raiders or had to beat the Raiders in the playoffs. The Jets, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Baltimore Colts, Miami, the Steelers each of the first two times… we all had to deal with the Raiders. -Joe Greene
You shoot another guy—well, okay, this is Baltimore. You shoot three guys, it’s time to admit you have a problem. -David Simon
I grew up in a neighborhood in Baltimore that was like a war zone, so I never learned to trust that there were people who could help me. -Jada Pinkett Smith
D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, Austin… and you. I’ll be there soon. -Sarah Dessen
I was devastated. I’m still devastated to this day. When talent like that disappears in a flash, you can’t believe it. You deny it. Max Roach, who, of course, played with him on all those EmArcy recordings, held a concert in Baltimore for Clifford long after Clifford died. Max was still disbelieving so many years later. The concert was supposed to bring closure. But Max was so outrageously emotional that day. He had quite a few eruptions and was very emotional about what had happened so many years earlier. Like everyone, he remained disbelieving. -Helen Merrill
The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don’t know. -P. J. O’Rourke
If it wasn’t for baseball, I’d be in either the penitentiary or the cemetery. I have the same violent temper my father and older brother had. Both died of injuries from street fights in Baltimore, fights begun by flare-ups of their tempers. -Babe Ruth
I don’t have many heroes. Very plain and simply, Johnny Unitas was one of my heroes. When you think of Baltimore, you think of Johnny Unitas. -Ozzie Newsome
I grew up in Baltimore and that’s why I root for the Orioles. I’m very suspicious of people who move and take on a new team. You should stick with the team of your youth all the way to your grave. That shows a sense of loyalty and devotion. -Frank Deford
I went to a Catholic high school, which, to this day, I could burn down. And I got great revenge because they had their fiftieth anniversary, andThe Baltimore Sun called me and said, ‘What did you think of your high school?’ And I said, ‘They discouraged every interest I ever had.’ And I saw that in print. -John Waters
I love my family in Baltimore. But on their side of the family, I love their cousin Charles Thompson, because he’s from New York like me. -Kim Fields
I was raised in Brooklyn and in Baltimore. My father was a bookkeeper. When I was 36 years old, my mother told me I was adopted. -Harry Frankfurt
I started playing the piano when I was about two and got a scholarship to the Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore when I was five. But I left when I was 11. -Tori Amos
Baltimore was like a small town when I got there – the Colts, the Orioles, guys like Frank Robinson, we all knew and respected each other. Everyone would cross paths at one point at Lenny Moore’s Sportsman’s Lounge, trading stories and having some fun. -Earl Monroe
Really,’ thought I, ‘we call Baltimore the ‘Monumental City’ for its two marble columns, and here is Edinburg with one at every street-corner! -Bayard Taylor
Poor children in Baltimore face even worse odds than low-income kids elsewhere, mostly because they remain in impoverished neighborhoods. -Gwen Ifill
There’s a lady up in heaven who must be very proud of the way the people in Baltimore have treated her boy from the Bronx. -Art Donovan
I devoured hot-dogs in Baltimore ‘way back in 1886, and they were then very far from newfangled…They contained precisely the same rubber, indigestible pseudo-sausages that millions of Americans now eat, and they leaked the same flabby, puerile mustard. Their single point of difference lay in the fact that their covers were honest German Wecke made of wheat-flour baked to crispiness, and not the soggy rolls prevailing today, of ground acorns, plaster-of-Paris, flecks of bath-sponge, and atmospheric air all compact. -H. L. Mencken
In Baltimore, soft crabs are always fried (or broiled) in the altogether, with maybe a small jock-strap of bacon added. -H. L. Mencken
I would have handled it differently than the mayor of Baltimore, that’s for sure. I think it’s a mistake to say, hey, guys, you can pillage the city for a while and we’ll let that go, and we’ll be sort of standing back. I think it’s also important to know some of the underlying causes of why there’s unease in our country. -Rand Paul
I was raised in an Italian catholic family in Baltimore, Maryland. Our faith is very important to us, our patriotism, love of faith, love of family, love of country. I took pride in our Italian American heritage and to be the first woman speaker of the House and the first Italian American speaker of the House, it’s quite thrilling for me. -Nancy Pelosi
Baltimore is one of the most beautiful towns, really. And trust me, I don’t say that about every place. There is just something so quaint, old and beautiful about this place. -Polly Bergen
A carriage will start from Washington in the morning, the passengers will breakfast at Baltimore, dine at Philadelphia, and sup in New York the same day…. Engines will drive boats 10 or 12 miles an hour, and there will be hundreds of steamers running on the Mississippi, as predicted years ago. -Oliver Evans
Hardest job in America is being a single mom. There are a lot of them and a lot of them in Baltimore and I think that they absolutely do their best. They can’t keep continue to do their best if businesses flee the city. -Dana Perino
People tend to think of Brisbane as a sleepy, sub-topical place. I don’t know. It’s like Baltimore or something. I don’t know. You would hear the family dramas going on behind closed doors. -Geoffrey Rush
During the War of the Rebellion, a new and influential club was established in the city of Baltimore in the State of Maryland -Jules Verne
Nine Years Under is a sparkling debut – brimming with love and bursting with life. Booker’s Baltimore is equal parts The Wire and The Cosby show. She doesn’t shrink from the realities of life in an inner city funeral home, but she is also a loving witness, documenting the big hearted community that takes care of its own. Told with compassion, wit, and good old fashioned story telling, Sheri Booker gives us unforgettable characters who will make you laugh right up until they break your heart. -Tayari Jones
We need to review our policies as it applies to urban cities – You see, I’m losing either of them, but especially cities like Baltimore, we need to review them and I think we should come with no pre conception. -Julie Roginsky
It’s easy to whip up resentment against anything that smacks with authority. Nobody ever organizes over pan handlers. So even if a cop is black, like the three arrested in Baltimore, or one dead in Mississippi, the hard left uses race as the underlying cause. It’s why there are no defiant marches when policemen are killed. -Greg Gutfeld
I worked at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, lived there for three years, and lived in Baltimore for 12 years. -Wendell Pierce
I decided that we’d have to take our chances with the law and get the hell out of Baltimore. I thought of seeking asylum in Canada or Australia or England, but I didn’t want to leave the United States, because for better or worse I’m an American, and this is my land; so I decided to fight it out on home ground, and finally we hit upon Hawaii, because of the liberal atmosphere created by its racial admixture, and because of its relatively large population of Buddhists, who are largely nontheistic. -Madalyn Murray O’Hair
Quite apart from the Church’s financial self-interest in getting me out of the way, Baltimore is an overwhelmingly Catholic city and like most good Christians, they felt we ought to be punished for our unorthodox views. -Madalyn Murray O’Hair
I have an absolutely unshakable faith in kids, grounded in the fact that I worked for three years in one of the worst public schools in Baltimore, with kids most people would write off because of their backgrounds. But, when I set high expectations, at the end of the day, these kids went from scoring at the bottom on standardized tests, to scoring at the top, despite their unfortunate circumstances. -Michelle Rhee
Michelle [ Pfeiffer] was perfect as Miss Baltimore Crabs. -Kristin Chenoweth
My running mate, Ajamu Baraka, was out camping out with the homeless in Baltimore . We were both recently at the Standing Rock Sioux encampment where in fact we are both now, a warrant is out for our arrest for participating in civil disobedience to support this very critical stand being taken on behalf of our water, on behalf of human rights, on behalf of our climate. -Jill Stein
I grew up on the streets of Baltimore, a city I love to this very day. -Steve Clevenger
Jeff Sessions, the person who`s likely to become our next attorney general, is striking a very different tone from our current attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who announced a consent decree with the city of Baltimore. -Al Sharpton
The Baltimore Police Department had engaged in a pattern of practice of conduct that violated the constitution and federal law, and this conduct had eroded trust and to deprive the people of Baltimore of the rights and the protections guaranteed to every American. -Al Sharpton
Let me just say that we are under the consent decree. There are people in our city [Baltimore] along with the police department and advocates who believe that this is absolutely the right thing to do. -Al Sharpton
When we look back at the last years of justice department, some of the most important work that will define its legacy is the work that was done to address the problem of policing reform. Almost two dozen investigations across the country over the last eight years into – not just Baltimore, but Chicago and Baltimore and New Orleans. -Al Sharpton
There are now that 20 consent decrees in place like the one in Baltimore that are helping put broken police departments on a path to reform. And this is long work. Baltimore is just embarking down this road. -Al Sharpton
[Barack Obama] has been a very negative force. I think you see this when you see the tremendous division in the country, when you see Baltimore, when you see Ferguson and St. Louis. -Donald Trump
We are sitting on many powder kegs. Whether it’s Ferguson, or St Louis, or like the other night, or Baltimore. Or different parts of Chicago. -Donald Trump
[Crack epidemic] definitely has impacted folks in my family, most definitely. I think that’s true for most, if not all people, regardless of color, that grew up in and around areas that were closer to the nucleus of the crack epidemic.If you look at Baltimore or D.C., Detroit, Chicago, Oakland, like, Los Angeles. -Mahershala Ali
Every action I take, I will ask myself – does this make better for younger Americans in Baltimore, in Chicago, in Detroit, in Ferguson, who have really, in every way, folks, the same right to live out their dreams as any other child in America? -Donald Trump
I decided that if nobody else was going to do anything to rectify this colossal inequity in taxation, I’d have to do it myself. So I instituted a suit against the city of Baltimore demanding that the city assessor be specifically ordered to assess the Church for its vast property holdings in the city, and that the city tax collector then be instructed to collect the taxes once the assessment has been made. -Madalyn Murray O’Hair
At one time I’d been to every park except Baltimore and Houston, but can’t even keep track of who plays where these days. -W. P. Kinsella
There were just moments of the punk scene and I realized that I had to capture it. There was also this photographer in our preschool – I went to a Montessori school in Baltimore, Maryland – and they had this photographer come and take all these incredible photographs. They looked like they were from Life magazine. -Jeff Vespa
The fingerprinting requirement affected only law-abiding citizens that want to buy firearms. It had no impact on Baltimore’s criminal element at all. -Gregory Kane
The ban on assault weapons has decreased gun violence in Baltimore not one iota. That’s because few, if any, of the shootings were done with assault weapons. -Gregory Kane
I had a screening in Baltimore where one of the hardest individuals just broke into tears at the end. That’s the response you want. -Sheldon Candis
Not being re-signed in Baltimore was probably the lowest point, mentally, of my career. That city was the only place where I wanted to be at the time, based on everything that had transpired. -Eric Davis
When the scheme for the construction of a railroad from Baltimore to the waters of the Ohio River first began to take form, the United States had barely emerged from the Revolutionary period -John Moody
With the reorganization of 1898 finished, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad entered a new period in its history. -John Moody
When I was growing up in Baltimore, the Colts were not just a team that played in the city. It was part of the city. Football players didn’t make close to the money they make today and most took jobs in the off-season. Some were mechanics, others worked at furniture stores, and you could find them drinking at a neighborhood watering hole. -Barry Levinson
I have enjoyed the years enormously in Cleveland and especially in Baltimore – Art Modell
Really,’ thought I, ‘we call Baltimore the ‘Monumental City’ for its two marble columns, and here is Edinburg with one at every street-corner! – Bayard Taylor
I don’t pay any attention to what the ‘Baltimore Sun’ editorial page says about anything. – Bob Ehrlich
We started playing the Baltimore Colts early, and I was still very impressed with Johnny Unitas, who just passed away recently. I thought he was one of the best quarterbacks at the time when I was very young, he was in his prime. – Bob Lilly
Having secured my Indian actors, I started for Baltimore, where I organized my combination, and which was the largest troupe I had yet had on the road. – Buffalo Bill

I worked at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, lived there for three years, and lived in Baltimore for 12 years. – Wendell Pierce
By the 1970s, pornography had caught up with The Block, where performers were totally in the nude. I wasn’t going to do that, and I certainly wasn’t about to let my girls do it. After all, I’m religious, and if my mother knew I was performing in the nude, she would have had a heart attack. -Blaze Starr
What I saw in Baltimore was distressing and it tells me we need stronger policies in this country. -Bernie Sanders
I have a great relationship with Special Olympics back in Baltimore and have had one for many years. -Joe Flacco
I always enjoyed playing around Washington, because we always have a good crowd. I’ve never had a bad crowd in this vicinity from here [Alexandria], up to Washington and on to right around Baltimore. They’ve been some good fans. -Ralph Stanley
I moved out to L.A. in July and Hot L Baltimore started in September or October. So I had done a few things. I’d done a Mary [Tyler Moore]. I’d done a Waltons. I hadn’t done a Rhoda yet I don’t think. -Richard Masur
Very interesting show. It’s “Hotel” with the E missing. Hot L Baltimore. It was about a rundown hotel which had become kind of a residential not quite welfare but almost welfare hotel with a very bizarre collection of people.The desk clerk was played by Jamie Cromwell. That was his first big thing. Conchata Ferrell played April, the main of the two prostitutes, and my character didn’t exist in the [stage] show. -Richard Masur
After we did [All In The Family], that ended up being a real love fest all around. Me and Norman, Norman [Lear] and me, Rob Reiner, everybody liked everybody. So about six or seven months later I moved out to L.A. and I got a call that Norman wanted to see me. I came in and he said “ABC has given me a property that they just optioned to make into a TV series. It’s from a play called Hot L Baltimore, and I want you to be in it.” -Richard Masur
My first few years as TV critic, I would go to parties and people (usually older Posties or ex-Posties who seemed to pride themselves on not watching very much television) would take me by the arm and insist that I watch this show they’d recently starting watching on DVD, about drug dealers in Baltimore. -Hank Stuever
