I spent Friday with Martin, the Polish TV correspondent. He was doing a story about Jenna Bush's wedding, so we drove to Baltimore to visit the home she recently purchased. The home is located in the Federal Hill neighborhood. I expected upscale colonial style row houses, but instead the neighborhood was a bit ghetto. It was full of bars and liquor stores. We interviewed someone who lives on the opposite corner from Jenna's new home. They said that their two homes are often peed on by people leaving the bars, but hopefully now there will be secret service to keep the drunks away.
Martin was nice to work with. He told me that people always ask him the same question, "You came all the way from Poland for this?" He either answers in Polish or (if the story is really stupid) says "yes, of course". It took us all day to gather the material for the story. We went to a local think tank where we interviewed a supposed Bush family expert. Then to Baltimore to film the house and the neighborhood. And finally back to DC to film the White House, where Jenna did not want to get married.
