If Baltimore were not in DC's shadow, what city would be most like it? (downtown, map)

You really only needed 2 other cities for a comparison: Philly and DC.

Philly, yes. DC, not so much. The list of comparison cities provided is strange to say the least (Tampa? Minneapolis?) I think B-more's closest comps would have to be (in no particular order):

Philly
Cincinnati
St. Louis
Pittsburgh
Boston
Newark

Ditto. I always thought Baltimore was like a mini-Philadelphia. The resemblance is remarkable. Almost like Dr. Evil and Minime.

Saint Louis.

Strange post

Not sure I'd say that:

N 27th St & W Master St, Philadelphia, PA

Trinidad, D.C

However, it's kind of a moot point, because there are areas in Baltimore that are grassy as well as shady.

114 N. Gilmor St. Baltimore, MD

I was refering to this:

I guess im referring mostly to Northeast and Southeast D.C....Baltimore's inner city rough neighborhoods HAVE NO GRASS at all

What you are speaking of is a totally different story, if im interpereting what you are saying correctly. Of course i've seen empty lots where weeds have overgrown.

I know you were referring to that, but grass is grass.

Well, maybe not. But if you check out Trinidad, those houses have little enclosed grass lots. It doesn't make them seem less bad.

Do you think you try the link again? What comes up for me in the links is two maps of Philadelphia and then one map of the USA.
