[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baltimore and the surrounding area has WASPy, preppy enclaves. Has no one here ever heard of the Hunt Cup? [/quote]

Yeah, but again — nothing compared to the NYC/New England area.[/quote]
Check the history of Baltimore! Why are you so adamant about Baltimore not being preppy or UC or old $, PP? I don't even live in the area and knew this about Baltimore. [/quote]

Because it’s barely old money. You want to tout the tiny enclaves of wealth? Fine. Congrats. But it’s nothing compared to other parts of the country.[/quote]

It’s very strange you have such a stake in this argument, PP. Whether you want to believe it or not, there is a strong contingent of people as described as preppy here in the outer edges of Baltimore- involving country club membership, debutantes, philanthropists, very large estates, second homes, horse farms, etc. These families go way back. I think you must have not had any exposure to them, but I assure you they exist.  But I am going to stop wasting any other time on you if you bafflingly decide to deny they exist.[/quote]

Goalposts moved again. There's some Trump-level insecurity on display in this desperation to prove that Baltimore is less than.[/quote]

Not from Baltimore so no dog in this fight but I wonder if the pp realizes that investment banking in the US STARTED IN BALTIMORE! There is totally old school wealth from the Alex Brown days and before.  That’s part of what feeds the prep culture.  Lax bro’s were practically invented in Baltimore for god’s sake.  [/quote]

Not true about lacrosse. The sport has equal ties to NE boarding schools, where it was already established as a sport by the time lacrosse came to Maryland in the 1880s. [/quote]
