Okay, I'm interested in both of these cities.
I live in Seattle now and am thinking of retirement and if I want to live somewhere else not so expensive.
Seattle is costly and both of these cities interest me.
my fiends, all of them, are planning a move to Palm Springs. I hate the desert and want to find another place.
Baltimore is full of beautiful and lovely buildings will this work for me?
St Louis is an amazing city too.
Help me decide here.
I want to live urban in the core of downtown with as much art possible around me.
Is this do-able in either city?
Please help me decide
Thank you
I was based in Virginia while I was in the Navy.
I've been to Washington DC dozens of times
Never to Baltimore.
Whenever I have asked anybody "let's go to Baltimore" they'd look at me like they just bit a bug.
Like that is an insane question to ask.
What?
I want to move to Baltimore but moving across the country (from Seattle) is chancy and I am not sure.
Is cannabis legal in MD?
Is Maryland blue and liberal like Washington?
I lived in conservative Texas and don't want to make that mistake again.

Baltimore is the better pick. It's in a much, much better location and has much more potential to grow and improve neighborhoods overall.
St Louis has some nice areas but has a lot of neighborhoods that are have seen much better days. St Louis is sort of isolated as well, a bit more than Baltimore.
With Baltimore, you have less than an hour access to Washington, DC and Philadelphia. Also, NYC is about 2 hours away and the coast or the mountains are super close.
With St Louis, the mountains and the coast are very far away, and Chicago and Kansas City are not super close trips of 4 1/2 hours and 3 1/2 hours away.
Baltimore has very little to offer other than proximity to other cities that do. If being geographically convenient is your #1 criterion for a city, Trenton, NJ makes as much sense as Baltimore.
