So, long story short. This kid my sons age (9) was jumped by 3 adults. They stole his bike shoes and backpack on the way home from school. This happened at that end of my road which is maybe a little over 200 feet from my place. After that, I started sitting outside on my porch with a 9mm until school let out then proceeded to walk my son and his friends home safely. The school field was located right across the street. With that happening, we decided to get out of that sh1thole and raise our kids in a much safer and better place. I was able to transfer with my job so that wasnt a problem and the wife works from home. We decided to move to Berkeley Spring WV. I made a few awesome friends for the most part but DAMN its boring (for me) Anyways, The views are amazing and the people are so much more kid. They wave to you...its madness.

Early next month I have a shoot with a 71 skyline and a green 280z. I dont think I have ever been so excited about a photoshoot. 71 SKYLINE!!!!

My birth mother leaves here and she owns horses. My daughter (Delilah) loves them now.

Good for you. I've never heard anything good about Baltimore. Their airport doesn't suck horribly though.

I've never been to Baltimore. From what I hear, I'm not missing much. Glad you were able to relocate. I know it's a big adjustment for you but it will absolutely be better for your kids. Way to put them first.

Thanks! I always try to get a good shot when I can. I wish I had the chance to do a shoot with it.

As far as not hearing good things about BAltimore, There isnt anything good. I mean weve been on Drugs inc, That Gang show on The History Channel and w even had a show based on our streets, The Wire. Its not a good nor a safe place to be...even in the higher end areas like Fells Point. That 370z and I were in Fells doing a shoot a few weeks back. This lady came up to us and started talk BS about where we were sitting then she proceeded to fall in front of the Z and called the Police. She stated that we hit her. She was later arrested for disorderly conduct, assault on a police officer and for misuse of 911. It was my buddies first time in Baltimore. He got a kick out of it. :wtf2:

That's a shame about your experiences in Baltimore. I used to visit Obrycki's for fresh crabs, which was in Fells Point. Mmmm mmm burp. Being 45 minutes from Summit Point is nice. The Raceway is home to 3 tracks. I'm usually down there a couple times per year, next time being October I think. Nice rural area.
