The Hot l Baltimore is a play by Lanford Wilson. Set in the lobby of the Hotel Baltimore, it focuses on the residents of the decaying property who are faced with eviction when the structure is condemned. The play draws its title from the hotel's neon marquee with a burned-out letter "e" that was never replaced.
The play won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best American Play of 1972–73, the Obie Award (Best American Play, Lanford Wilson; Distinguished Performance, Mari Goldman; Distinguished Direction, Marshall W. Mason), the John Gassner Playwriting Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award.
The play was produced at the Williamstown Theater Festival (Massachusetts) in July 2000, directed by Joe Mantello, with the cast that featured Sam Rockwell (Bill Lewis), Mandy Siegfried (Girl), Lois Smith (Millie), Helen Hanft (Mrs. Bellotti), and Becky Ann Baker (April Green).
The series had several controversial elements, including two primary characters who were prostitutes, one of whom was an illegal immigrant, and one of the first gay couples to be depicted on an American television series. Because of the subject matter, the show was the first ABC network show to have a warning at its opening, cautioning viewers about mature themes. (All in the Family, also produced by Norman Lear, ran a similar disclaimer when it debuted in 1971 on CBS.) The network supported the show and gave it a full publicity campaign, but it failed to win an audience and was canceled after 13 episodes. Its last telecast was June 6, 1975.
Ironically, the show was never carried by the local ABC affiliate in Baltimore, anytime during its run. WJZ-TV in Baltimore carried alternative programming, leaving Baltimore viewers to watch the show on WJLA, ABC's Washington. D.C. affiliate.
Prince Rogers Nelson (born June 7, 1958), known by his mononymPrince, is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor, and has been a major figure in popular music for over three decades. Prince is renowned as an innovator and is widely known for his eclectic work, flamboyant stage presence, and wide vocal range. He is widely regarded as the pioneer of Minneapolis sound. His music combines rock, R&B, soul, funk, hip hop, disco, psychedelia, jazz, and pop.
Prince was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and developed an interest in music at an early age, writing his first song at age seven. After recording songs with his cousin's band 94 East, 19-year-old Prince recorded several unsuccessful demo tapes before releasing his debut album For You in 1978, under the guidance of manager Owen Husney. His 1979 album Prince went platinum due to the success of the singles "Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad?" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover". His next three records — Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982) — continued his success, showcasing Prince's trademark of prominently sexual lyrics and incorporation of elements of funk, dance, and rock music. In 1984, he began referring to his backup band as The Revolution and released Purple Rain, which served as the soundtrack to his film debut of the same name. A prolific songwriter, Prince in the 1980s wrote songs for and produced work by many other acts, often under pseudonyms.
The building sits on a raised "island" of sorts between two open trenches, one for the Jones Falls Expressway and the other the tracks of the Northeast Corridor (NEC). The NEC approaches from the south through the two-track, 7,660-foot Baltimore and Potomac Tunnel, which opened in 1873 and whose 30mph limit, sharp curves, and steep grades make it one of the NEC's worst bottlenecks. The NEC's northern approach is the 1873 Union Tunnel, which has one single-track bore and one double-track bore.
HOT L BALTIMORE opening credits with Disclaimer, short-lived ABC sitcom.
Great cast in this Norman Lear adaptation of the play. Hookers and a gay couple as part of the regular cast was deemed too much for the mid 70s TV viewer and the show was canceled after a very funny 13 weeks. Stars included Charlotte Rae, James Cromwell, Conchata Ferrell, Richard Masur.

Keep lying subject changing Kept and cleaned in fear That laying down an answer Might affect your clear Complection neglecting what's Inside your tear I know More reasons to take The sleeping voices you hear Just to stay awake More reasons to me The sleeping voices you hear Just to stay awake We have approached to many For the tub to drain The cleansing portraits of The names you take in vein So pour the remaining Pillows of restraint I know Reasons awake You're here to blame Our veins to full
