Destination Baltimore

[alg52]

Whats Baltimore like to visit? warm in summer? does it ever snow in winter time? Much to do there? I am from Wales i the UK so dont really know much, have looked it up on Wikipedia but thought some of you guys might have first hand experience.

The Inner Harbor has some cool things to see. The National Aquarium is my favorite, it has has all sorts of neat stuff in it.

There's a list of Baltimore attractions on the right side of this page: http://www.ci.baltimore.md.us/visitor/

I'm not a resident myself, so I'm sure others have more to add.

Inner Harbor rocks, the mountains are 90 mins away and the beach about 2 hrs. I'm not a good one to ask because I want to move to FL where its warm all the time.

yea i coming next year for 2 games i think. i coming in december or november is it gonna be super cold?

Couldn't tell you--it could be 70 and gorgeous or 20 with snow and a 30 MPH wind. 2 years ago, I never wore anything heavier then my jersey and a turtleneck, even in Jan. I remember getting sunburned around Thanksgiving.

Last year I was going to wear my diving drysuit . It rained, or was icky, gray 40's and the winds against the Pats. My suggestion is to tune into the Weather Channel and bring layers.

As much as I love Bmore, its not a very touristy place. I mean, sure you could visit the aquarium, but every big city has one, bfd. The weather is schizophrenic, and there are not that many touristy sites to see other than the harbor. What would be slick to do is one of those Inner Harbor cruises either during the day or booze cruise it at night. Hitting up an O's game is always fun and easy. If you want a crazy time before, during or after an O's game, go to Pickles. Its right next to the stadium and beer is real cheap. They also have beer pong tables, which is a big plus in my book.

This is the perfect place to live if you like unpredictable weather. Sometimes, its really nice other times its not.

We have a few really nice museum's if your into that kind of thing. There are some good resturants. The Galary is beautiful, although there is hardly any good stores in it. Maryland has its tourist attractions but for the most part its a lot of historical stuff.

Good way to put it about the weather around here

Just make sure you get a heaping pile of crabs.

Get some one to show you how to crack them and eat them.

Not much better on a summers night than a pile of crabs, some beer and a fre ears of corn on the cob.

Listen to the man. He speaks the truth.

Edit: Its important you eat them with good company tho.

There's nothing good about getting crabs...(scratch)...ohhhhh, you mean blue crabs. Nevermind.

VWP.

it all depends on what you as a person perfer, many people like the city of Baltimore and enjoy seeing all the sites and what not, but then again, there's always people whom never look on the brighter side of things and take the best out of the situation that say Baltimore isn't a good place to visit.

but again, it really all depends on your tastes and what you want.

The think I like about the Harbor is that it is a quick drunk.

Man, you can walk from bar to bar to bar and then still not have made it to the HRC.

Or worse, not even to Fells Point!

The wife and I go to the harbor for special occasions now but always stay the night. In the younger Towson State days, we would do that stuff all night long and then eat breakfast in the morning.

That's back in the day. Towson hasn't been a State University in quite a while now.

Yeah

[JonM229]

Yeah

People always ask me if I'd rather be happy, or be right. I respond that being right makes me happy.

Then I go home and cry myself to sleep.
