There's much more to Charm City than what you've seen on The Wire. Even as racial tensions make headlines in this famously blue-collar town on the Chesapeake, slick waterfront projects and farm-to-table dining have arrived along with a new, younger generation of residents set on building the place they want to live in. One native Marylander travels to the city he first knew as a kid to meet the doers and dreamers driving Baltimore's next act.

Famous for crab cakes...
Ya, I heard about that . They had girl jail guards there, and somehow they got pregnant from the prisoners they are guarding. What the heck???
As the publisher of a golf and travel publication all I can say is follow the money. Anything in a lifestyle magazine/website is total BS.

Yeah, if you’re the kind of person that enjoys doing laps in the septic tank.
As they aptly graffiti’d on The WIre - “Bodymore, Murderland”.
Baltimore was when I grew up there, 40s and 50s. Will always call it home, miss the old days, skinny dipping below the little dam at Lock Raven at night, so many more fun times.
Well, in what ways is it “cool”????
Cool for tourists down at the Inner Harbor??
Cool for people who live there?? What neighborhoods though??
Cool for people who ride public transportation there??
Cool for people who work downtown??
You mean like this kind of cool? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3572566/posts
I’ll never ever go back. The Inner Harbor was a festering crap hole with bums and rude people.
Nike should stop sponsoring riots.
Tryin' to attract ther gentrifiers and hipsters that can't afford Brooklyn.
Nuked into a smoking crater and then salted. I was born, spent my early childhood, and worked there. Pure evil. Degeneracy, perversion, drugs, and soul-less killers. Every city has some of these things, but Baltimore has all of them, and not just in the hood, but even into the county. I've travelled a lot, to some very bad places, but the feeling of pure unadulterated evil in Baltimore is like no other.
Can’t stop laughing at that article.
Before going to Baltimore I consult a friend who used to live there. He gives me a street map with safe and unsafe areas highlighted.
“Detroit with Crabcakes” as I affectionately call it.
Oh boy, what a dance I saw, down yonder in Baltimore,
Done to a brand new tune.
In most every caberet from Dixie to Frisco Bay,
They'll all be doing it soon.
There's a dance, got 'em Like Black Bottom called Baltimore
Oh baby, that step has got a rhythm that's hot.
When they start playin, then you start swayin' like an old seesaw,
When you start steppin' about, get up and shout, "Hey!"
First you count the beat and double it,
Then repeat, and then you just
Slide your feet right over the floor.
There's a dance, got 'em like never did before.
No sir, that new twister called Baltimore!

Baltimore is a cess pool. Pure and simple. I attended a convention there right next door to Camden Yard. Security addressed us the first day and advised us that no one could guarantee our safety after dark and the best advise was to stay in the hotel. No kidding.
Actually Pittsburgh is currently the “coolest city on the East Coast”, and that is NOT a good thing.
It is attracting too many Millenial hipsters who love all things gay to move here. They vote for Liberal kooks who are gradually turning us into San Francisco on the Mon.
Cool in the sense of a lot of bodies becoming room temperature through the high murder rate.
