Having gone to neither but knowing people who have gone to both, I’d say BSA. If she’s able to get in, she’s clearly talented. You can go from arts to academia, but not as easily vice-versa, BSA would be a unique experience, while the academic experiences City offers she could still have in other ways, or in college.

Just call them with the date you served or write that on the form and it’s fine. A lot of people get in the system multiple times, especially if you have a name difference on like voter rolls and MTA lists, and they should be able to fix it in the system (which is not to say that they actually will).

Now the governor, speaker of the house, mayor of Baltimore, attorney general, states attorney, chief of police are all black, so, maybe that will change. Black women are the biggest voting bloc in the city, so locally they have a lot of power. But for stuff like bus lines you need the Governor on board.

It’s definitely a weakness in the Banner. The tendency of the white-middle aged reporters who mostly live in north Baltimore to interview their friends and do stories about what their friends think is interesting. That’s even their pitch, we do stories about YOU! Tell US what to write about! So you get stories about people who raise chickens, or found a weird coffin in a park, or went camping and a pony at Assateague got into the beer. They’re writing for the audience that will pay for a subscription. And eat at Atlas. And click on whatever that Men’s Rights ad is about.
