Don't get me wrong, I love B-more. But how to best display its charm, which has taken me twenty odd years to appreciate? Having someone come from out of town gets you thinking, what are the best things to show in Baltimore. Here is my list: The Reptile House (which is no longer around, but I include it because for the longest time it was my favorite thing to do in Baltimore for a dollar), the Visionary Arts Museum (very Baltimore, very cool), Orioles, Crabs and Boh, the Hampden lights (in winter), the Helmand, the Aquarium (although very expensive), the Charleston, Tambers (diner/indian food, the greatest), the Paper Moon, the Walters, and perhaps Fort McHenry. What would be on your list?
PS- for fans of the Wire, an informal Wire tour and for those who haven't seen "Serial Mom" or "Pecker," those are must sees.
PPS- And when Baltimore won't cut it, as a last resort, DC, which I see as basically a suburb of Baltimore.

I couldn't be more excited! But what if I haven't seen the Wire, Serial Mom, or that other one? Perhaps I'll have to bone up before my visit.
I take great offense at the description of DC as a suburb as Baltimore. As much as B-more has grown on me, DC remains a far superior city, especially if you include Bethesda. Plus, we know how to say "ambulance" and "jogging pants".
OHMYGOLLY (as any good Clattenburg would say) DC as a SUBURB of BALTIMORE? You don't deserve the Potomac mansion you are going to live out of. Slacker/Baltimore lover
