Please stop complaining about
« on: December 15, 2004, 10:37:00 am »
Baltimore!  I love Baltimore and most of the people are actually nice here!  (A polite change from all the snobby hipsters of DC).
 
 People who attend Power Plant Live excluded of course.
 
 Feel free to leave your insults below, cause I know you want to.....but Baltimore will always be nicer and more pleasant (albeit a little dirtier) than DC.  All part of its charm.  That's why they call it charm city.

Apparently they call it charm city because of little souvenir charms they used to give out to kids at touristy points of interest.

Yeah..if there's one thing DC's lacking it's corners to buy crack and smack and hookers.  We need more of that shit!

I have to say, being a non-native of either DC or Baltimore and living in NoVA, that there is no reason after a couple visits that I find myself ever wanting to go to Baltimore. It seems to be a dead town, almost as dead as the town I'm originally from, Pittsburgh.
 
 Although, I do hear you got a nice aquarium up there. Maybe someday I'll check that out.

I was in Pittsburgh for the first time in October for a conference and I really liked the city.  I stayed in Oakland and was around the Pitt campus, but still got out a bit, and I was pleasantly surprised ...

If one could equate cities to a style of music, I would say that Balitmore is punk rock and Washington DC is adult contemporary.  That being said I love both cities.

I like Baltimore - we have a bunch of friends who live up there in beautiful houses that are about 50% or less of the cost of a similar house in DC
 
 seems to have lots of great little bars and restaurants - the Brewers Art, the Helmand etc etc
 
 it has a reasonably successful football team and a baseball team (unlike DC HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
 
 granted it has some pretty scary areas though

I'd say Baltimore is  Wesley Willis (RIP little buddy) or hair metal, and DC is crunk (check out my favorite place to keep my ears on the tracks, the NYtimes arts section, if you'd like a definition), or downbeat
