What is Baltimore?
The real America. A place of growing optimism amid unprecedented opportunity. A cultural scene that rivals New York's - from live bands to high art. A sports scene that's the envy of the North-East. Best hospitals in the world. Educational facilities that European cities try to imitate. Steeped in history. Gentle climate, with neither the harsh New York winter nor the stifling DC summer. And, of course, there are the CRABS!!!!! CRAB CAKES!!! CRAB DIP!!! You have not had crab until you've had Baltimore crab. But here's the real secret of Baltimore: you can live here for cheap - and I mean CHEAP. Public transport is excellent and inexpensive. Rents are tiny, considering the rates in DC, or even Laurel. If ever you tire of crab, dine at Gertrude's Restaurant and enjoy WORLD-CLASS cuisine for prices you would expect to pay at a diner anywhere else. And you can BUY BEAUTIFUL HOMES for a fraction of the price you would pay for a modest condo in D.C. or N.Y. I moved to Baltimore from Brooklyn, New York. For the price of an apartment there (a full hour's commute to my job in Manhattan) I could have purchased a mansion in Baltimore. My commute to DC is already easy; the planned improvements to the MARC (commuter) rail service will make it even more convenient. For these reasons this city is beginning to sky-rocket, even at a time when the national economy is tanking. Once the MARC upgrade is complete, and the country's economy has recovered, Baltimore willl be boomtown, USA. Even now, Baltimore rocks!
What recession? Life is better in Baltimore.

Baltimore - what is it?
I'm a born and raised baltimoron and i'm damn proud of it, but let's get a few things straight hon- we have an accent mainly with our famous "Baltimore O", if you don't eat blue crabs just leave and if you don't know what a chicken box is then you haven't lived oh and it's natty boh not national bohemian, you beg your mom to buy berger cookies becuase we all know they are the shit! we stand by out O's no mattter what kinda season they're having and then there's purple fridays where the the city's pretty much painted purple. we call every one hon and we b'lieve. we "warsh" our clothes and "sharr" in "wooder"! oh and this fine city is Balmer not bal-ti-more and it's in "murlin'. we go down nee ocean (with the baltimore O). we live in rowhouses and we put emphasis on the O in the star spangled banner. We embrace the beehive hair and decorate with pink flamingo's. we put old bay on everything and 95 connects you to everywhere. if you cut us off you get the horn and we cuss you out. we hate the steelers and yankees and that will never change. we're obnoxious and we love to party, but that's what makes us the best!
"i'm from balmer hon"
"do you mean Baltimore?"
"yea hon, balmer!"
What does "Baltimore" mean?
Batimore, how do I love thee. Western High School, Odell's and Fantasy's. Living in Irvington, mad because Southwestern was my zone school (remember Oprah was there because it was so bad). Wanting to goto Edmonson , but my mother made me go to Western(best school in the world) made me a true diva. Good chinese food (yaakamee) yat gaw mein, pork yak with ketchup and an egg. Such a diversity of people contained in one small city. Everybody knows everbody. Chicken boxes with a half and half, cheesesteak subs. Taking pride in Jada, hating Roc for making us all seem like we are on drugs and live like crap (most of us live very well) Loving the Wire, Mondawmin, Security,Westview, bus lines 2,20,23,15 and the M1, then we started venturing out to Marley Station and Columbia once we get cars. Best looking brothers in the world. Born and raised in West, never been to fond of the east side, food taste funny. Club music (sean and scotty) new stuff k swift- do ya thang. I could go on forever, this was fun, hope someone can relate. I'm too country to come back now, but visit 2x/month and then slide my tail back down 95.
Baltimore ballers know how to get that paper.
Ain't nothing better than living in Ballermore, Murderland.

I saw a few articles on here blaming white people for what happened to baltimore. Notably #42, "Tom's".
Well, here's an angry black man's opinion of the matter:
Yes, Baltimore sucks. Baltimore sucks BADLY. Why?
Here's why...
What was a thriving blue-collar city lined with beautiful independent ethnic family shops, marble steps, a strong sense of community and common good, was sacrificed by the democrats to create a welfare city and thus a base of power in the "south". In order to drive out industry and blockbust neighborhoods they raised taxes disproportionately, none of which were used to stimulate art or cultural activities. They overtaxed industry and forced them out, thus destroying the work force and forcing white blue collar workers to find work elsewhere (later they would slap them in the face further by saying that they "ran" from blacks because of "White Flight"). From there, the police force was corrupted from the bottom up, intentionally, by organized crime syndicates and cartels which have now made baltimore the heroin capital of the united states. Because of this, and the very NON-socialist (you have to work to make a socialist welfare state function properly) democratic scheme to create a drug-hole, street crime rose to massive proportions. This forced the rest of the ethnic european (white), jewish, mediterranean, etc communities to pack up and leave. During the race riots, the italians protected little italy by standing out in the streets with weapons. the rioters didn't dare cross the line. The germans, poles, and greeks did the same to protect highlandtown and greek town. Even with these efforts to stand their ground and protect the sanctity of all that they had worked to build, these groups were forced out by the unchecked and unpunished street and hate-crimes inflicted by the selfish, hateful, racist black "community" that we have here in baltimore. They blame white people for everything, when its only the whites and hispanics that seem to work here. you know you're in a bad situation when illegal immigrants do more to empower your city and bring to it civilization than your majority fucking people.
baltimore was systematically destroyed. a welfare trap was created to CREATE poverty and maintain it. blacks were used as pawns and still are. Not by white people. Not by a white system. Only because they choose to be. In order to save baltimore, the black community needs to be "less black and more community" and get over their OWN racial barriers to revive a city the problematic sector of their population more than jovially helped to destroy.
Baltimore: Money for nothing and your kicks for fr... AIDS.
Baltimore
The city in Maryland that's bashed repeatedly on this site by those who have never been there before. One can easily travel through the East Side of Baltimore with no problem at all: black, white, man, woman. What's more, bands frequently play in the neighborhoods that you fear the most, and they manage to lug their instruments back and forth without any mugging/robbing attempts whatsoever.
We do have the STDs and weed, though.
I walked up and down North Avenue with twenties hanging out of my pockets, and nothing happened to me.
Baltimore
Baltimore is the biggest city in Md. It's a place where everybody knows everybody. The only place where the weather can be 100 degrees & 100% humidity lol.
Only 3 other places come close: Detroit goes hard, Philly is our brothers and Jersey is just real with it.

Baltimore=resilience. To make it out of Baltimore is something to brag about. Even people from the projects make it everyday from NY and LA because they are already set up from birth to succeed. Baltimoreans have to truly fight to make it and that's what makes us so resilient.
