"young diego - marino gang"
Charm City. Mobtown. B'more. The Land of Pleasant Living. The City of Firsts. labeled with a motto, "The Greatest City in America." Baltimore. many contradicting and falsely given titles, one underlying theme. "violence."
America's unspoken, not as much mentioned city of despair has a lot going wrong, and about two things going right. the Baltimore Orioles standings, and Marino Gang.
