Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I know it’s got a fairly high African-American population, but “Blacktown” is not a nickname for Baltimore. That one you say happened in Baltimore, MD was actually Blacktown, NSW, Australia.
Huh. I wonder how that happened. I think I must have overwritten some event that happened in Baltimore.
Thanks.
