Name one city (compare, skyline, food, best)

I like how Baltimore has developed its waterfront, but the rest of town isn't so great

Cleveland isn't as dense or crowded. To me, that's "better."

You could say the same for any city. No city is "better" than any other city in an "all everything" kind of way.

Well any city with a pro Hockey or basketball team (Maybe those with 3 or 4 pro teams)

Hoboken, NJ, because they have a Cake Boss and it is Frank Sinatra's hometown.

Also, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. And Fort Lauderdale, FL. And Montreal, QC. And Vancouver, BC and also Albuquerque and Santa Fe, NM.

You were right, I couldn't name ONE city better than Baltimore, I could only name several!!!

One of the most humerous statements in City-Data history.

Much of Baltimore is a colossal eye-sore, unbelieveably bad; people in Calcutta look down on Baltimore..

Ouch - be nice to Baltimore, like many cities there are some great areas and some not so great. I really like how the harbor East has developed into Fells point. They need to do something with the inner harbor, getting pretty dated these days...

I would, but Baltimore isn't nice to itself; the list of cities that are better than Baltimore would stretch from sea-to-shining-sea...

Go ahead and laugh at my suggestion, but CLEVELAND bests Baltimore on many, many fronts ...
Cleveland has a more appealing skyline, much more spacious suburbs, a much better transit system, a more appealing physical setting and the WORLD RENOWNED "CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATION & UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS OF CLEVELAND", both of which can stand up to ( and often times exceed ) Johns Hopkins Medical Center in prestige and stature, with regards to advancements in research and top knotch medical care.

All the contradictions said, mine included, I think there's something slightly sweet about a person boasting of a city that is normally depicted as drug-infested murder capital or as a once great city that went into something like a death spiral.

I really liked "Homicide: Life on the Street", read stuff on nineteenth c. America, and am Catholic. (Baltimore Catechism being big for my parents generation) There is something weirdly charming about a city that produced people such as Tori Amos, Eubie Blake, Cass Elliot, Philip Glass, Barry Levinson, John Waters, and Chick Webb. Not that I'm that anxious to ever see it firsthand.
