« Jason Derulo: "You won't catch me on the Jay-Z or the Usher tour" | Main | Burning Mom, Victoria Legrand, Miami vs. Baltimore, and other things I learned my first two weeks writing about nightlife »
Midnight Sun asked earlier this week your thoughts on the town's best bars, and you answered in force. Sometimes, too much. People must really love Rodos, or they must have one crack team of flacks. Also popular with commenters: Max's, Brewer's Art, and Looney's.
The official list will be out next week.
Erik Maza is a features reporter at the Baltimore Sun. He writes for several sections of the Sun paper and contributes weekly columns on music and nightlife. He also writes and edits the Midnight Sun blog. He often covers entertainment, business, and the business of entertainment. Occasionally, he writes about Four Loko, The Block, the liquor board, and those who practice "simulated sex with a potted palm tree." Before The Sun, he was a reporter at the Miami New Times. He's also written for Miami magazine, the Orlando Sentinel, the Sarasota Herald Tribune and the Gainesville Sun. Got tips? Gripes? Pitches? He's reachable at erik.maza@baltsun.com.

Erik, you have to realize that anytime you open up the boards for "favorites" you're going to get plenty of people decrying anyone professing appreciation of a locale as a shill/flack. Though I have to admit that the outpouring of love for Rodos in the comments to the initial post as a bit much. The wordle is worth posterizing, however. Nice work.

Love the wordle thing.Just for fun, Erik, you should make one for all the mean comments Baltimorons have lobbed at you. Then burn some sage and do a Klingon yell.

Rodos? Lots of people like Rodos: underage girls from Dundalk, unemployed Greek sailors, you know, lots of people.
