A night at City Hall

Sheila Dixon will hold a "Mayor's Night In" at Baltimore's City Hall Jan. 30 to discuss foreclosure prevention. The Baltimore Homeownership Preservation Coalition, which is sending experts to talk about the resources available, says the event will be from 6 to 8 p.m.

"If we can save families from foreclosure or encourage residents to seek help before they refinance their homes, we will help not only the families in crisis but will protect the property values of everyone living in the surrounding neighborhoods," Joanna Smith-Ramani, co-chair of the coalition, said in a statement.

EDIT: I've just been told that the meeting will be held in the Curran Room on the 4th floor of City Hall. Though it's open to the public, you'll need a photo ID to get in.

Why does one need ID to go to a public meeting at City Hall?

The press release doesn't specify, but I think it's about getting into City Hall rather than into this meeting specifically. (I've always had to show an ID as soon as I got in the door.)
