For nearly four years, I’ve been taking the bus from NYC to Baltimore every other weekend. I’m trying to
document SoWeBo,  a fascinating, if beleaguered, southwest neighborhood.  I haven’t seen a lot of graffiti
there probably because the cops are overly vigilant due to excessive drug dealing in the area. Yesterday
I met some graf heads who kindly took me on a little tour.

SoWeBo boasts the first mile of public railroad track ever laid in the entire US. We walked along that track
for more than a mile passing some nifty hobo monikers on a laid up freight train. Then we slid down an
embankment to another set of tracks which passed under some bridges. Turns out that’s where writers go
to piece.  Thanks guys for guiding me!
