It's cases like this that have damaged efforts to preserve arabbing in Baltimore, and it's too bad because this is a tradition worth saving and promoting. With better management, arabbing could be a point of civic pride. The nation should be able to see the plumed horses and their regalia in bump shots on "Monday Night Football." Tourists should be able to buy fresh fruit off the wagons on downtown streets. The arabbers should be a viable source of fresh fruit and vegetables for people who live in the city's food deserts.
