Baltimore car thieves have really bad taste.
Plenty of thefts and muggings in the Northern this week, and a carjacker who tried to evade capture by jumping in the Inner Harbor.
Stop the presses! Baltimore has an image problem. Consultants are being paid $500,000 to come up with a new slogan to combat the crisis-- and this embarrasing story has hit the newswire, making matters worse.

I m would offer the following suggestions for a slogan for Baltimore:
Baltimore: Hey, it's near the bottom, but at least it's not Detroit.
Baltimore: 2349 of 2350 of you won't be killed this year.
Baltimore Crime: the truly regressive tax.
Baltimore, builder of welfare hotels for tourists.
Baltimore: we couldn't find anything better to do with $500,000 of tax money than to pay for this slogan.
From the current Sun on 'branding' Baltimore:
"It's not as if you can say, 'Don't worry; if you're mugged, we always have Hopkins'"
For her part, USC's Mallia, a native of New Jersey, ... was only here for two days once, she says, and a couple of impressions lasted.
"The Inner Harbor was fun," she says. "It has that hint of [waterfront] history. It says 'urban,' but it isn't too frightening. {like the rest of town}
"I doubt that's where the natives hang out," she adds, "but then, that's not really what tourism is about, is it?"
{No, apparently it isn't. We can just all go to hell.}
Yeah, I like "I paid $500,000 to consultants and all I got was this lousy slogan."
ps. sorry I had some setting turned on that was keeping comments from showing up... it's fixed now.
