I’d rather be in Baltimore than DC. Period. Much more laid back culturally relatable city. Was just in Baltimore 2 weeks ago- with the fam at port discovery , science center.. and it’s not just the harbor where I’ve been either. I know a lot of Morgan State alumni, and at one time was looking to move in the area so I’ve been in and around Baltimore frequently. Been in community services work in Baltimore too with back to school events etc. kids are no different from what any majority black cities are lacking from -negative environment, social conditioning and reduced financial and educational opportunities. Worst thing I’ve seen was some white man with a skin condition that made his skin literally turn blue being paraded around like a sideshow. Rest is just kids hanging out as per usual and people minding their business, doing what they do. With the exception of PG and southern md, which I like- I’m in out and out of DC for work purposes only, it’s real cac cookie cutter type of city, downtown - boring imo.
