I met some great people since I moved to Baltimore, but they have moved on since then. All of my friends have left. People keep moving out, Baltimore is now at a “Century Low” in population. While other cities are seeing an uptick, DC, Philly, and Boston; like Randy Newman wrote, “the city is dying, and we don’t know why. Crime, lack of jobs, visual hopelessness and despair are a couple reasons for the mass exit, stage left.
That is why I thought of this segment, “Leaving Baltimore”. I actually wanted to have a long form hour and a half special segment on this topic, but for now 14 mins will do for now. I asked 8 of my friends who left me, “Why did you do it?” They are all under 40 years old, bright, educated….and continual brain drain lose for the city.
