And then I saw the Domino Sugars sign that hangs above Baltimore, fixed in olde black and white, the point being that Baltimore used to be a lot better than it is, even though the Domino Sugars sign is still in the same damn place. And my eyes were glued to a television in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (where the people rule under God), because any mention of Baltimore is shocking and significant, even though the show was just some asshole called Gordon Ramsay calling it a “piece of *%%n town” via closed captioning before giving backhanded compliments to John Waters and The Wire (big stretches, those), and lamenting “urban decay” and one day I’ll kick him in his stupid face. I hated the bus for leaving before the show finished.

Things went downhill from there.
