Baltimore has really good qualities and very troubling ones. The good: nice restaurants, lots of good school choices (public high schools include Baltimore School for the Arts, Polytechnic Institute, and Baltimore City College…), some beautiful and vibrant neighborhoods (Roland Park, Hampden, Fells Point…), nice culture (good theater, Peabody Conservatory, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra…), wonderful organic grocery stores (Mom’s Organic Market), a bustling harbor, and much more. The big downside to Baltimore in one word is crime.
Baltimore is a lot like Tema (only way more crime 🙁 . It is full of beautiful people and has a large and thriving arts community. It is made up of neighborhoods and people who have lived in those neighborhoods for generations. Baltimore or “B’More” as we call it is also a port city made up of many races and ethnicities from around the globe.
Baltimore is known to many as “Charm City,” and it lives up to its name. There are over 250 diverse neighborhoods, each with its own distinct assets and architectural style. Upon a arriving in our city, you might find yourself overlooking the Inner Harbor, buying a juicy watermelon from the historic, horse-drawn “arabbers,” or exploring the remarkable Baltimore Museum of Art.
Baltimore is a magical city that carries a dark wave of violence over it. Underneath that layer is a place of art, deep history, and tremendous parks and sites to explore. Please don’t let the hearsay deter you from getting to know this amazing city. Just give yourself one day to explore everything Baltimore has to offer and you will see the beauty it has to offer.
