Were joined now by the executive director of lexington and baltimore public marketsch this sounds like a no brainer. It does. Were coming out on top for this comparison. If someone moved to the area, they dont spend a lot of time how would you describe the differences between those two neighborhoods . Well, i think that if you talk about federal hill you have to talk about how unique this area is. I mean, the people have pride in the community. And there are so many things coming to federal hill. But there is the tradition. It anchored for generation after generation. And it combines the very best of what is new and exciting and what is traditional things that you expect find in a neighborhood like this. Now one of the things that i think would make federal hill a hands down win ser that it is a community and baltimore if you know anything about this city, people are from here and stay here. Washington, however, is a city where people come and go. Isnt there something to be said for that . Well, there is no question. Thats where i think the tradition that you find, that is sustained. There are people who live here generation after generation, there are businesses here and businesses that are run by their parents, grandparents, they are running them. I mean no question washington is a city that people come and leave as administrations change and other things change. And baltimore and federal hill has traditional values. Thank you for joining us.
