This map is part of a series depicting the 40 largest cities in the United States (as ranked by CBSA). This series will run through the month of July.
I had a real good time last time I was in Baltimore, Maryland [gmap]. Walked around the harbor. Good times.
Nice city y'all got, there. Folks were friendly; women were pretty; and I liked that you could walk from y'alls downtown (where there's stuff to do) to nearby neighborhoods (where there's stuff to do). We ain't got that, here. Might never. We got a downtown laid out like we're expecting the huns to invade at any moment: huge swaths of no-man's land ringing it, where I guess the plan is to construct ramparts.
So Baltimore: from a resident of another of the vanishingly-small fraternity of U.S. Independent Cities: Yours is a fun town to visit, and I'm sorry everyone kept asking y'all about the Wire. It's a great show of course, but I can see how that must get aggravating.
