Charm City's Only Drug Free Zone

Broadway Ave. 

Apparently, the Drug Free Zone in Baltimore is only confined to these areas.  Thanks Baltimore Police Department!

Kids + Alcohol + Cigarettes + Karaoke = Only in Baltimore

Walt's Inn (an alcohol establishment)

Only in Baltimore would a parent bring a kid to bar at 11:30 pm to buy cigarettes.  At least, the Dad let the kid put money in the machine and push the button for his cigarettes.

8 days a week...?

Apparently, Baltimoreans are on a different schedule than the rest of the world.  Hey, it's one more day to have a flash mob!
