no
Depends where are in the city. The Inner Harbor is nice, plenty to do. I here good things about Fell's Point and Canton. The area between Johns Hopkins and Towson is also nice. Other areas can be pretty rough. Just like any other large city, it just depends where you are at.
Doesn't rojo live there?
Drove through it. Looked like a dump
Been to Royal Farms Arena for the RBBB Circus and Frozen on Ice.
Plan on going to Inner Harbor this summer.
Its like any big city.

I have seen The Corner and The Wire so even though I have never been there I am an expert.
Yes. The LetsRun World Famous corporate headquarters are in Baltimore. Hopefully they did not get looted.
Baltimore still misses the Colts, and rightly so.
Karma and all that.
The Ravens uniforms are so lacking in class by comparison.

Baltimore is better known by people who have lived there as the anus of the United States. That's all you need to know.
Baltimore has its nice parts and its bombed out ghettos. That said, I'd rather live there than most other places in Maryland/Virginia.
The Inner Harbor and surrounding area is very nice. The area where they ran the old Maryland Marathon, starting outside Memorial Stadium and up to Loch Raven Reservoir was very nice. Other parts aren't so nice. Like many big cities it's good to know where not to be.
Head a few blocks in the wrong direction from the Inner Harbor, and it is the 'hood. But most of the stuff close to the harbor is decent..Federal Hill and the like.
The few blocks in either direction are the problem here. To put what these people are doing in perspective: even a dog won't piss in his own bed.
In winter of early 1995 I went to Johns Hopkins for an interview with a graduate program in the medical school downtown. The hotel shuttle driver picked me an another interviewee up at the airport. In the course of driving us to the hotel he asked if we wanted a prostitute (no thanks). The hotel seemed nice, but then again I was a nube who hadn't even graduated yet. It was in the inner harbor right on the water. There was a sailboat in the lobby. The other interviewee bailed because of the shuttle driver and went to another hotel. I got in late, so there was no one to meet me for dinner and the hotel restaurant was closed. So I started walking around the inner harbor looking for a place to eat. Some guy on the street saw me and said "Hey! Come over here!" At this point I started to run. The guy didn't chase me, but he kept yelling "Hey! Get back here! I'm not going to mug you!" I got dinner at a bar and made it back to the hotel intact. The next day the security at the med school was equivalent to entering a federal building. In the course of the interview I asked about the security and was told that they were forced to step it up after a female prof was threatened with a knife by a non-Hopkins person in her office. At this point I was convinced that Baltimore was a s***hole and couldn't imagine going. One guy I know who went there said a classmate was threatened with a gun after kicking a car that had almost hit him while crossing the street.
you must be new

Yeah, I probably should have specified that it's not a large surrounding area that's very nice.

I have been to a few Zoo's. You have seen 1 you have seen them all.
Like most cities, it has nice areas (Inner Harbor, Camden Yards--well at least the ball park) and some not so nice areas.
