I lived in Baltimore Maryland for two years and why I left is probably because of temporary insanity. I really loved Baltimore but i was young and unwise and did not know the opportunities afforded me living there. I grew up in St. Louis and well the crime is a little too much for me. When i lived there the St. Louis Whirl was a paper that glorified every crime in St. Louis. I have thought about this since I'm older that a city has a paper specifically designed to report crime and that blows my mind. How dark and sinister can that be? I used to love to read it being young and impressionable. That was like thirty-years ago. But these days I do more praying than anything.
Baltimore has Hamsterdam
Baltimore has Marlo
Baltimore was the home of Omar
st louis what?
Are you glorifying The Wire? smh
Both of these cities have abnormally high black on black murder rates. Maryland and Missouri also have some of the highest incarceration and murder rates among Black men. Nothing to be proud of. Probably a combination of them being Border States - historical Southern states/policies with Northern industrial cities in St. Louis and Baltimore.
I love Rapid City, but wish it was more like Tokyo!
Well, that was a pretty immature random outburst. But you still made me laugh harder than I ever have at a forum post. LOL.
In all seriousness, I think I agree with above posters in the sense that Baltimore doesn't really need as many attractions as STL because it's already like 30 minutes from DC. How can you get bored with all those museums? STL is isolated, the closest city of comparable size is like 12 hours away. I bet they wish they lived in MD. That's like saying Ft. Lauderdale is boring because it doesn't have as many attractions as Tampa. It's like 15 minutes from Miami, so who cares!

That was a joke... The wire is my favorite TV drama... Do not get me wrong, as a black buy (but not African american) myself, I am the first who condemn black on black crime
I never thought of Baltimore as a little city. What I do notice is, people always go to the same places, running into the same faces. However, Baltimore has a lot of different places to go and things to do, way more than it gets credit for.

Chicago is less than 6 hours from the Lou, its not "isolated".
You make it sound as though it were perched on a windswept tundra in Siberia.
Lol, that might have been a bit of an exaggeration, but compared to cities in the Northeast and Great Lakes Midwest area, it is pretty isolated. I can drive 6 hours from Miami and pass through FTL, West Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville.

We Midwesterners are used to driving, most of us actually like it.
Road trip, adventure, the open road and all that.
As for Florida road trip you described, you can keep that S Fl traffic.
Been there about 15 too many times.
