Jellyfish in the Inner Harbor?
Inner Harbor's no place to swim anyway, but now you can add another reason not to go in the water downtown: jellyfish.
The Baltimore Sun reports that softball-sized, milky white, bell-shaped jellyfish with long, trailing tentacles could be seen moving slowly about Thursday in the murky water by the USS Constellation.
Scientists identified them as Chrysaora quinquecirrha — the most common of sea nettles in the Chesapeake Bay. Usually, though, they hang out farther south, where they sting unwary bathers and swimmers.

Clearly the author is not a local...we've had those hated jellies in the Bay for as long as I can remember.
