Boats and yachts moored in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore is a pretty site. Unfortunately it reminds many of the economic disparity in our city which is really a Tale of Two Cities. While some are preparing to enjoy the experience of boating the waterways of our Inner Harbor and Bays, others are walking the blacktops of city streets with its oppressive heat wondering how so many people can afford boating as a recreational enterprise. Yes hard work should be enjoyed with all the perks it affords. But, I am of the belief that dangling luxuries in the faces of people creates an atmosphere of distrust and division. That's why I rest on the assurance that, "the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." If its no more that the Constellation, I'm going to get on a boat very soon.
