Baltimore has its own distinct feel to be so close to D.C.
Its got its own style of music like D.C. has Gogo.The food is more associated with Maryland and the Mid Atlantic which in my opinion D.C. is just more cosmopolitan and international where as Baltimore represents the region better
Baltimore represents it's region, it doesn't represent the DC region and vise versa. Of course Baltimore has is own culture as it is it own city Metro. DC planting itself next to the Baltimore area doesn't affect the pronounced culture of the Baltimore area, whereas DC..........
Not exactly sure where people get this idea that Waterfront Toronto is sort some sort of wasted dead space.
Is the foot traffic normally much heavier than these pictures? Not that these don't look nice, but the pedestrian traffic looks dead (in these pictures) compared to many city waterfronts.

Yes. I've been to the HTO beach (one in the picture) twice this past summer, and has a pretty constant stream of pedestrian traffic throughout the day. Queen's Quay has about 30 residential towers on the waterfront, along with many touristy bars and pubs, 4 LRT Stations, a (heavily used) bike path, so you are bound to get a lot of foot and bike traffic. So much so that the Toronto Police had to conduct an "educational traffic blitz" on how to navigate the different lanes of traffic (pedestrian+bike+car+LRT):
The funniest part of your posts is how you try to flip it and make it seem like other people are doing the exact thing that you do! I'm not fooled however, this thread isn't about DC so I'm not going off on a tangent about it, like you would prefer to.
Once again, someone in Toronto has plenty of access to those things that make up their metropolitan area or region etc. Someone in Baltimore has immediate access to get on MARC and go to the Smithsonian, see the White House, eat and dine at restaurants in both DC or Baltimore, or walk Old Town Alexandria, all in a simple day. The fact that you are salty about having this opportunity is mind boggling to me. No one is adding on, or over exaggerating a city, like you are saying, unfortunately that is just your opinion.
You talk as if what I say isn't true or something just because you have a disdain for DC. I think I speak for many on C-D when I say get over yourself.
I don't have to flip it, that's just what it is. You bring up DC in a Baltimore thread, for what? Do you think people are gonna forget about DC or something? Look at you, still on some 'we have Old Town and restaurants,' dude, that's cool and all, but this is a Baltimore vs Toronto thread. I've never seen anything like this where the more "important city" is always trying to get another city to tag along.
You can take a day trip to Philly and NYC too for that matter. I've done that with both cities more times than I can count, and certainly more than I have with DC. That's not unique to your region.

I went for a walk along the central waterfront between Yonge St. and Bathurst St. on a sunny Saturday a couple of weeks ago and it was literally teeming with thousands of people.

Well that's good, since it looks pretty dead in those pictures.

I mean it's a waterfront pic, taken on a chilly weekday morning. You can't possibly expect every inch of a 2.5 mile long waterfront park to be teeming with people 24/7. I used to work beside Battery Park waterfront in downtown Manhattan. It's hardly ever filled with people during weekday working hours even though it's in one of the most prominent downtown Manhattan locations.
