Several years ago? Might want to change that to months. Several years ago Harbor East was Bohaggers.

Doh! Good call. I'll change that ASAP.

GDA, what are you getting at? Is my bar/club coverage not enough?

Sam,
It is rather a limited focus and the bio in the upper right corner does say "The Baltimore Sun's nightlife AND local entertainment reporter".
It would give a more rounded and varied overview of what Baltimore had to offer beyond the bars, clubs, and the odd music festival, with asides for the intellectual gumballs (like the Orson Welles, and Homer posts) and the urban parking problems.
Maybe I am asking for things outside the scope of this column.
