Baltimore is one of two big metropolises near us. The other is Washington D.C. Like D.C., Baltimore has a long and rich history. Today, however, there are more people moving out of the city than moving in. Some parts of Baltimore, like any other big city, are pretty bad and even downright scary. I would not go to those areas at night or by myself. But other parts like the inner harbor are really nice. The Baltimore National Aquarium and a number of other museusms as well as the baseball and football stadiums are located at the inner harbor. It’s a good place to take a stroll and grab lunch or dinner. You can even do a little shopping. City officials are attempting to bring more businesses and people to Baltimore in hopes that it will restore the city to its former glory.
