HOTL BALTIMORE’S (NOT JUST) FOR CHILDREN: Nice Girl Finishes First & Demands Recount
Columbia, Maryland, is a “planned community” nestled among scads of functional greenery, midway between Baltimore and Washington D C. Columbia was laid out according to the best sociological and architectural theories of the 60’s and 70’s, and as such, tends to be as rational and good-liberal as this month’s Alan Alda brainscan.

Columbia, Maryland, is a “planned community” nestled among scads of functional greenery, midway between Baltimore and Washington D C. Columbia was laid out according to the best sociological and architectural theories of the 60’s and 70’s, and as such, tends to be as rational and good-liberal as this month’s Alan Alda brainscan. Phil Donahue would welcome Columbia and its tasteful structures to his show any morning of the week.
Columbia is dedicated to renewing community and family life, according to pamphlets I’ve found in my hotel room, and as our little party invades Columbia’s heart, The Mall, in search of this evening’s meal, 1 realize that we’ve probably already deviated from some California norm or other, like say averaging 2.3 children per family unit. Seven adults tooling down The Mall here— Pat Benatar and her man/lead guitarist Neil Geraldo, drummer Myron Grombacher and his spouse Monica, Chrysalis Records promo woman Toby Lubov, busdriver/ bodyguard “Suds,” and R. Riegel the writer—and apparently I’m the only one who’s been able to squeeze reproduction of the species into his/her worldly career, so far.
