I was out with a woman – a real one, this time – and two hours into it I looked at my beer and decided I hated it passionately and for the next fifteen minutes became exhausted by the wallpaper and the other clientele, and totally forgot every word in the English language, and rambled on about something, and hoped aloud that she would forgive me for having such a localized aneurysm that had as to which temporarily removed any form of charm or grace from me for five straight minutes. 

It makes you wonder why we’re even let outside sometimes.

Diner, part of Barry Levinson’s series of films chronicling the Baltimore of his youth, celebrates its 30th anniversary on December 10 with an open conversation with the director and other special guests. I watched the film again, ready to roll my eyes at some soft-focused nostalgia. However, the film’s depiction of friendship and what’s important to Baltimore is strong and truthful, and I’m not just talking about an obsession with the Colts.

Now, of course, the entertainment most people associate with Baltimore is The Wire. Not charming, not optimistic and certainly not nostalgic like Tin Men and Liberty Heights. But to me, Diner is the film I most identify with as a Baltimorean because it’s what we all still do.

Today, you can go to Brewer’s Art, Joe Squared or Charmingtons and see everyone hanging out and sipping their beverage of choice. We’re a city of neighborhoods and regular haunts. We like knowing that we’ll meet at the same place and probably talk about the same things again and again.

What separates the Baltimore of today from the Baltimore of Diner is that the conversations being held are part of a bigger mission to keep improving the city. I see people scooting tables together and opening their notepads, ready to solve a problem. Artists are comparing their experiences. Parents and teachers work together to give the best experiences to children.

Just as the guys of Diner faced bigger decisions, Baltimore is facing some obstacles and changes of its own. The 30th anniversary event is a great time to look back, but also forward to making this city great.
