Talk Like a Native
Thom, a Baltimore native, grew up in the Kingsville and then Jacksonville in Baltimore County. His high schools included Kenwood, Parkville and Towson(he won't divulge whether his family moved a lot, or if he fell in the bad graces of the Baltimore County School System). While in high school, he developed a "self teaching" program in reaction to the inability of the school system to offer interesting course material. The program was simple...he devised ways not to attend classes.
Armed with a large amount of free time, Thom boarded freight trains on the now defunct Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad, and began to explore Baltimore's neighborhoods, industrial areas and business centers. His interest in Baltimore and the Baltimore speech patterns are mirrored in the web sites highlighted on this page.
