Boston is a more popular city, I've never been to Boston yet so I can't say too much. I like Baltimore and would most likely live there out of the two, Baltimore is closer to DC, Philly, NYC, etc. as well. I don't know what else to say.
Boston across the board. Baltimore seems like a nice city, but I can't think of any particular area where they're better than Boston. Maybe having a nicer harbor setting, but Boston's no slouch in this department either.
I spend alot of time in Baltimore for work reasons and I think it is an extremely underrated city that people do not take the time to really enjoy because of the obvious issues that have plagued the area.
With that being said in comparison to Boston like Tmac said I cannot find even one area outside of the Inner Harbor that Baltimore could be viewed as superior to Boston. Not architecturally, economically, safety, diversity, food (even though I would do anything to move Ms. Shirley's or Ryleigh's Oyster here to Boston), etc....

Boston is very nice, but I still prefer Baltimore. In terms of history both cities probably fall in the top 5% of cities with the longest, most illustrious, and most important history. Baltimore was capital of the United States for 3 months, is the origin of our national anthem, played major roles in the Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil Wars, and is the birthplace of American railroading. It also has a stronger independent character and culture than probably 95% of other American cities (although it shares a lot with Philly), but I guess the same could be said of Boston. Yeah, in terms of crime and blight the cities are night and day, but unlike other former industrial cities in other parts of the country (the MidWest, Camden, Newark etc.) Baltimore is also heavily being revitalized.
Strictly because of the crime situation, I would live in Beantown over Balt. if I had to choose between the 2, although there are a number of very nice, safe neighborhoods in the latter such as Fells Point, Mt. Vernon etc.
Oh yeah, Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Bellicheat and friends can tell you who's boss when it comes to the gridiron.
I'll give that to you. You guys kicked our asses today. I certainly wouldn't say you're boss when it comes to the gridiron, considering this is the first time you've ever beaten us.
