Jay Privman said on Steve's show yesterday that Baltimore is the most underrated city in America and I think he's absolutely right.

You don't sound like a typical Bostonian at all. Do you have a twitter handle and what were your thoughts about Joel Ward scoring the game winning goal against the B's a couple weeks back?

I hate the Bruins so I loved it actually. Trust me, it was not me who made to comments about Joel Ward, he might be my new favorite player.

Having lived in the general proximity of Baltimore for the last 13 plus years, I couldn't disagree more. There are like 1.3 nice areas there and the rest I could do without. Still, I think it would be a huge travesty to take that race away from the city.

If you don't stray from Camden Yards and the Inner Harbor...maybe. As for the rest of Baltimore, it really doesn't get much worse in this country.

Baltimore isn't great, but worst in the country? I'm going to nominate Gary, Indiana, and like 87 percent of the state of Florida.

Oh come on. I give Baltimore a hard time but it's not THAT bad. Actually there are many parts of the city that are being gentrified although the neighborhood where pimlico resides certainly isn't one of those parts.

Ridiculous. There are some bad neighborhoods, like any other big city, but the worse in the country? Not even close. There are plenty of great places around Baltimore that are nowhere near the harbor.

Baltimore is awful. I've spent a lot of time there for both work and pleasure. There are significant sections of the city that are as bad as it gets and I stand by that statement. If people want to argue that Detroit and Newark are worse, no problem. I was responding to the statement that Baltimore was the most underrated city in America which even the mayor of Baltimore would laugh at. I believe Baltimore was only the 4th most dangerous city in the US last year so they got that going for them.

Well, at least the current mayor of Baltimore hasn't had to go to jail yet. So that's something.

The "Block" is a very nice classy area to visit while in Baltimore.
