What's in a name
Okay, I continue to get queries about this, so let's set the scene:
I am in Ireland. At the south of Ireland is Cork. The west part of Cork is West Cork. And along the coast there is a place called Baltimore.
It is not - repeat not - the land of The Wire. There are neither Marlo Stanfields nor Snoops; not a nail gun in sight.
Baltimore, Maryland is named (in a roundabout way) for this Baltimore, so while there is a connection between the two, it's pretty tenuous. Okay?
I'm considering the matter settled.

Sometimes it's good to contrast what you like with something else. It makes you appreciate it even more.
