Baltimore's New Slogan

"Get In On It"
Almost as bad as the Greatest City in America.
I'm from Baltimore and I just wish they'd come up with something that people won't make fun of all the time.

I've always thought it was "Dork City" or "Dweeb City".

Sure that's a city slogan and not an advertising slogan?

I'll bet Waters' house cost more than the house of anyone who posts on this board.

It is really eay to say "Baltimore - Get It On!" as opposed to saying "Baltimore - Get In On It."
I could live with that as a slogan.

I know what neighborhood he lives in, and it's definitely way more exclusive than my neighborhood.

Taking into consideration there are more Irish living outside the country than in it….the new tourism campaign is…….
….."Come to Ireland, there's not many of us left here"……
I'd say it should be.

I can't remember where I heard this, maybe Bill Mahr, but this captures it perfectly (and goes something like this):
DC, the Mallomar City. Chocolate on the outside protecting an all white center.

i see the "edgy" angle on the slogan, but it just doesn't roll off the tongue easily… maybe it works better in print… will be interesting to see how it gets re-adapted like the Believe slogan

Are you referring to the black cops who protect the white collar people from all of the black criminals?
