Visited Baltimore Maryland for the first time

I gotta say I’m not sure where all the stereotypes are coming from
We didn’t stay in West Baltimore by any means and downtown was pretty cool - we’re taking in a baseball game tomorrow at Camden Yards which should be fun.
What do you guys think of Baltimore?

It’s the most boring of all the old New England cities

They keep the main part okay most of the time. But it's a dying city with very little hope of a true revival.

I lived there for 3 years. I worked all around downtown. There are places I would go at night that I wouldn’t go in Shreveport during the day.

I have family outside in Ellicott city. Been several times.
The outskirts are awesome. The hills and small towns. The city is like every other big city.

you went to Camden and Inner Harbor. That's like going to the Garden District and saying you don't understand how there is crime in New Orleans.

Only been a couple times but stayed down by the harbor and that area is fine. Had some good food and felt fine walking around.
A shame how the entire city has turned out but some really cool, old architecture downtown.

You can walk into the naval academy
Great town

Geography not your thing?

I was there for the first time last April, caught a game.
Go a little early to the park and right around the corner there are markers on the street is the Babe Ruth Birthplace/Museum. Its small, inexpensive and takes less than a 1/2 hour but I enjoyed it.

you sound like a tourist in nola that thinks its the greatest city in the world, but hasn't ventured outside of the French quarter.

There is a lot of very old money in Baltimore, yet the city is in a death spiral.

Go say hi to my buddy Frank down at the docks

Ft. McHenry is a great place to visit.

I would not relocate there personally. If I had to move there, I'd definitely move to one of the nicer suburbs west of the city or closer to Annapolis.
My wife's grew up near Baltimore in the Severna Park/Glen Bernie area. She and her family don't speak to highly of Baltimore. They seemed to prefer Annapolis for obvious reasons. That's where they did their shopping, etc. growing up. Her folks moved to south Louisiana when they retired. Maryland is a high tax area with a high costs of living, so it made sense for them to relocate.
For the record, they claim that their area is south of the Mason-Dixon line, but it looks and feels very Yankee to me. Solid seafood game, but the dirty little secret is that some of their most iconic restaurants sources a lot of their crab meat from the gulf coast.
Personally - I found Camden Yards to be great, and the inner harbor is very nice. But it's one of America's worst towns if you get outside of that bubble. It's a shame because it's got the bones to be a great place. It's just going to struggle with it's own demographics and with being so close to both Philadelphia and DC. It doesn't really offer anything that those two don't have more of.
There are some very good suburbs though, but some really ratty ones too. Overall I'm not a big fan of Maryland in general, but it's definitely in a solid location for weekend entertainment and amenities.
Was surprised at how rough the area around University of Maryland was in College Park (I know it's closer to DC). Annapolis, the eastern shore, etc are all very nice. A lot of the overlapping suburban areas between DC and Baltimore are past their prime, but some are still pretty nice.

The Edgar Allen Poe birthplace is unfortunately not in an area you'd want to visit at night. Or during the day for that matter.
Babe Ruth was born in a nicer section LOL

i did this a few years ago. i'm a runner and there's a route you can run around the base, see some really cool stuff. it was great
except i'm old and was running among a bunch of 19 yr old naval recruits. i swear one guy lapped me twice during the 3-4 mile loop. it was pretty humbling
