Now here's a courting ritual perfect for a big-city mayor: Leave $1,000 in Target and Best Buy gift cards in a plain envelope -- no note, no name -- at her office in City Hall.It might look fishy, especially if the guy dropping off the cards is a big developer doing business with the city. ...

The Baltimore Sun Jamie Smith-Hopkins lists the top 10 hidden-gem neighborhoods in Baltimore. Did your area make the cut?

Source: weblogs.baltimoresun.com

those are mostly not in Baltimore. Might as well do Jersey or the whole east coast. Besides, where is The Orchards, Poplar Hill, Brick Hill, Stone Hill, Lake Evesham, Better Waverly, etc. I can name about twenty good overlooked ones in North Baltimore alone.

The Baltimore Sun Baltimore economist says the city's high property tax rate is keeping people from buying houses."The point is, you can't tax people who don't live here," Anirban Basu said. What do you think?
