Walking Baltimore

 

Baltimore, for all its worldly attributes and three million metro residents, can often feel like a provincial place, what some derisively call, “Smalltimore.” Baltimore is a patchwork of small, unique neighborhoods. But there’s something simply nice about that, isn’t there? This is a city where you can feel part of a real place (no pretense in Baltimore. No way), a community, where you are bound to bump into someone you know. And as it happens, in perhaps the country’s largest small town, you will find all the amenities that make Baltimore a world class city, a place that can often feel much bigger than it is. It’s this dichotomy that makes Baltimore endlessly interesting, a place of constant reinvention. But some things invariably stay the same: the neighborhoods and the people who make up those neighborhoods.

            Whether you know the city well or are a first time visitor, use this book as a guide through these unique neighborhoods. You’ll be amazed at how much is here. And use your feet. Walking the streets, in the paths of history and culture, you’ll soon see why Baltimore easily lives up to its nickname, “Charm City.”
