The two principal cities on the Chesapeake Bay.

Which one is better, Baltimore, the southern port of the Bos-Wash corridor and epicenter of recent race riots, or the seven invisible cities of Virginia?

The Freddie Gray race riots, people. Comment was more tongue in cheek than anything.

It was a police brutality protest/riot for the most part. I was there when the riot broke out.

Well for starters, that wasn't a "race riot" and it was just one. And even in light of that, I fail to see how the term "epicenter" applies. You should have just left that out altogether.

I think Baltimore is a better metro. It has great food, interesting architecture, cool places to hang out, and one of the best ballparks in baseball.

The Hampton Roads area has the beach which is nice, but other than that it felt a bit disjointed to me.
