Okay, so you know that there is something about Baltimore that's suburban - the suburbs.

The skyline doesnt make it up north, Atlanta and Charlotte have more of an skyline than BMORE, ppl in Va DC and Md kill me with "up north" s*** yo, ya Mid Atlantic but not up north buddy, its ok, its really not that serious, people in Va-MD have southern dialect in many ways... Learn to be real instead of bsing about where your from

Why are we comparing it to the city everyone uses to say it's northeastern and a city in the deep south? Baltimore has some parallels with Philly, but it is not northeastern. Atlanta is far away.

Well, we all know that southern cities are urban. They are cities with downtowns.

To be fair, our metro is smaller. City limits are arbitrary, and Baltimore has to be considerably larger to have the same population as Boston and DC.

Baltimore is a Northern city with some Southern qualities. More similar to Philly?? NYC?? Not sure I would go that far but its not like Atlanta either. I think its a lot like Baltimore.

Lol this thread has been resurrected from 2013. And it tries to force a comparison between cities that already themselves are quite different than what they are being compared to. In the end, Baltimore is a mix and it's honestly been discussed over and over.

DC metro area is still larger then ATL.

and even then the DMV is superior than ATL.

When the Balt-Wash region is combined (CSA), its #4 behind NYC, LA, and Chicago:

You've been served by the best my friend

But Baltimore is a separate metropolitan area with 2.8 million people.

1,2. Philly
4,5. Baltimore. #3 doesn't appear.

Our architecture is not identical; Philadelphia's is older and of different styles.
