Baltimore

City on the harbor. Most people only go down here to see the area by the harbor:the aquarium, Fells Point, maybe Camden Yards or something. But there's so much more to the city. The business district has a lot of nice skyscrapers. Although much of the city is a slum, there's a lot of nice areas too. The Mount Vernon area by the Washington Monument is really nice. It's like Georgetown: old buildings, mostly renovated or refurbished, probably really expensive. A lot of the city is industrial, too, which can make for a lot of interest or disgust. It's a pretty neat place, though, and definitely worth checking out. Just don't wander too far at night. It's hard to tell where the ghetto begins and ends. Plus, they have over three hundred murders there every year. Some are even by the well-lit and well-traveled harbor.
