'If Baltimore is a blowzy broad, your city is...' contest
In today's nightlife column, Midnight Sun refers to Baltimore as the blowzy broad at the bar with a million stories to tell. And to Miami as the brain-dead babe with nothing to say.
Our inimitable John McIntyre is running a contest on his blog for other city comparisons. Call it the "anthropomorphize your city" contest. So far it's resulted in this gem: "San Francisco is the uppity vegan taking you aside at Whole Foods to explain why your choice of oat bran crackers is supporting the packaged food industrial complex."
I'm upping the ante: you come up with something snappy, you get the new Gucci Mane album, "The Appeal."

Fun idea. I was buying into until you offered up the new Gucci Mane album. Or is that a joke?

Do we have to write in affected 1930s film noir style? Blowzy broad? Really?
