I <3 baltimore, who's with me?
you know, i almost made a trip out there recently but wound up not having the chance. i’ve never been.
I love it, too! I hate when people complain about it. Especially when people say it’s small – um, yeah, we’re actually bigger than Boston and Seattle and Atlanta and a lot of cities that people talk about being “real cities” compared to Baltimore. In fact, we’re bigger than D.C.! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._cities_by_population
I will always love Baltimore! There are so many haters, who seem to think that if poverty exists, there’s nothing worthwhile going on. Forget that, this city is more alive than many rich places I’ve been.
See, I’m a Detroit native, so I actually know what it actually looks like when a city has such high levels of poverty/crime that it’s chased away a lot of things. So long as you stay in the safer areas, Baltimore is fine. The problem with Detroit is there pretty much are no ”safer areas” within the city anymore, and that’s why it’s lost all its tourists and the attractions with them.
And yeah, Baltimore has tons of shit that a lot of bigger cities don’t have. That’s what I love about this city, its quirkiness.
