Baltimore
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
Where I work and a city I truly love. It's got America etched into every corner, from the start to and through now.
Baltimore, MD has had a negative reputation for a fair bit. But I believe it’s been unfairly maligned in general perception (but also economically by it’s own leaders and others at large).
The Wire is a tremendous show and does a phenomenal job digging into the corruption and hooliganism of the city. But these are facets seen everywhere in all cities and that story was from a particular place in time about those harrowing people. And as true to the crime beat as it was, don’t forget to separate fiction from reality.
Baltimore, MD is one of the most affordable major American cities to go along with first-class arts and entertainment that rivals most any other East Coast city. Don’t be dissuaded from visiting and seeing a beautiful American city that easily connects up and down the east coast corridor (e.g. take the train to Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Richmond, and a whole bunch more).
