    • City Description

    Baltimore (pronounced /bɒltɨmɔr/) is an independent city and the largest city in the state of Maryland in the United States. Baltimore is located in central Maryland at the head of the tidal portion of the Patapsco River, an arm of the Chesapeake Bay, and is approximately 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Washington D.C.. Founded in 1729, Baltimore is a major U.S. seaport and is situated closer to major Midwestern markets than any other major seaport on the East Coast. Baltimore's Inner Harbor has always remained a major asset, once the second leading port of entry for immigrants to the United States and a major manufacturing center. Today the harbor is home to Harborplace and the National Aquarium in Baltimore and is a successful example of Baltimore's ambitious efforts at renewal. Following the fall of many of its largest manufacturing industries, Baltimore has shifted primarily to a service sector-oriented economy, with the largest employer no longer Bethlehem Steel but Johns Hopkins University and Johns Hopkins Hospital. Despite some successful revitalization Baltimore is still posed with many big-city challenges such as concentrated poverty and crime, and inadequate public

    Questions Possibly Related to Baltimore, Maryland

    Provided By Y! Answers

    How do you get to baltimore maryland from Queens blvd new york on the subway.?
    Question:
    I need directions for the subway from Queens to baltimore maryland. How long will this journey take. Many Thanks

    Answer:
    There's obviously no subway directly to Baltimore, but the subway will play a key part in getting you there. Get a Manhattan-bound E train along Queens Boulevard. If you can only find the R, V, and G at a station close to you, take one of those until you can transfer to the E (at Roosevelt Ave. or Queens Plaza). Take the E to 34th Street/Penn Station. Exit the subway and go into Penn Station. You'll be able to get Amtrak to Baltimore there.

    How much would it cost to live in Baltimore, Maryland?
    Question:
    Sometime within the next three years Ill be moving to Baltimore, Maryland. Ill have a roommate and I would like to have something with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I was wondering how much it would cost, including all expenses. Or if it would be easier to live in a suburb of Baltimore and just get a house with 3 of my friends instead.

    Answer:

    What are the best things to do with your family in Baltimore, Maryland?
    Question:
    My family and I are visiting Baltimore, Maryland soon and will be there for about a week? We have 2 teenagers. What are some things we might enjoy? Anything we have to do? Anybody know any neat (and preferably cheap) local restaurants?

    Answer:
    I actually Live in Baltimore so it may be easy for me to answer the question: Average Baltimore Weather: Average temperatures in the spring and fall are a mild 50 to 60 degrees. In winter, temperatures aren't known to drop much lower than 30 degrees, but occasional snow is possible. Summers tend to be very hot and humid, with average temperatures in the 80s and 90s. Transportation Most visitors to Baltimore choose to tour the city in a car. It's fairly easy to navigate, given its many alternating one-way streets. Parking can be rather expensive, especially if you're downtown. If you're planning to travel from the Inner Harbor to areas north, it's wise to take a cab. You can find taxis at most major hotels, the train station and scattered throughout the harbor. Depending on the distance you're traveling, fares range from $5 to $10. For those staying in downtown Baltimore, the Metro offers limited service. Don't depend on it as your sole source of transportation. If you're heading into the suburbs or BWI Airport, the Metro is great. It also makes stops at Camden Yards, Penn Station and Mount Washington. (metro buses) In-Season Costs If you're staying in downtown Baltimore during the spring or summer, rates might be a little higher. The Inner Harbor is slightly more expensive than other parts of Baltimore, but you should be able to find some bargains. Less expensive than the nation's capital, Baltimore won't break the bank. Maryland Tourism - Baltimore Attractions, Activities and Day Trips Annapolis: Annapolis is one of the oldest cities in the country. The U.S. Naval Academy was established here in 1845. Visitors to Annapolis will enjoy the waterfront festivals that take place each summer. Annapolis is known as a boating community, and tour and cruises are available much of the year. Annapolis is about one hour south of Baltimore by car. Ocean City: If you have a little time to play while you're in Baltimore, head over to Ocean City. Just three hours east of the city, this vacation spot is best suited for a weekend getaway. The resort town is an escape for Baltimoreans. Deep-sea fishing, windsurfing, sailing, cruising the boardwalk, or just lounging on the beach are favorite pastimes here. Washington DC: The nation's capital is just 35 miles away, easily accessible by train or by car via the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Take a day to explore the White House, the Mall, the monuments and the Smithsonian museums. If you're planning to drive to D.C., keep in mind that rush hour will tack on at least an hour to your commute. You also Have the wonderful Shopping, Camden Yards, Aquarium, Mini Golf, Fishing, Theaters, Boating, Shopping, Baltimore MD Recreation, Bowling, The Zoo & More! Have Fun! =]

    What foods/drinks should be served at a party whose theme is Baltimore, Maryland?
    Question:
    I plan to host a party to watch the final episode of "The Wire," a television show set in Baltimore, Maryland, and I'd like to serve foods/drinks appropriate to a Baltimore theme. What foods do you recommend (vegetarian options particularly welcome)? What's a particularly good/authentic crabcake recipe? What is a good traditional Baltimore drink (local beer I can get in Atlanta, mixed drink, non-alcoholic, whatever.) Thanks in advance!

    Answer:
    Baltimore, so near the Chesapeake Bay, loves shellfish. Oysters, clams, and of course the blue crab. Local beer: National Bohemian, brewed by G. Heileman. (If you can't find National Boh, any of the light lager brands Heileman bought up, e.g., Lone Star, others, taste pretty much as though they're from the same tap, same recipe. Don't tell them we know this.) In the older days, Carling's Black Label Beer (now from Canada) was brewed in Balto. Every restaurant in Baltimore serves a crab cake. Crab cake recipe: One egg, one slice stale bread, 1 tsp. dry mustard, 1/8 tsp celery seed, scant 1/4 tsp worcestershire, dash of cayenne, 1 lb backfin, one slice stale bread. In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except crab cake and bread. Gently place crabmeat into mixture; add bread crumbs. Toss gently, to keep crabmeat texture intact. Bread crumbs will, with the egg, be the glue which holds the crab meat together. With hands, make 2" (3" gets to be too fragile to turn easily) crab cakes. Fry, covered, on low heat in skillet with butter or Pam. until heated through. Crab cakes like to fall apart. May be too fragile for a first timer. Some people double the recipe, using special crab meat which is a step down from backfin. The smaller pieces stick together better. Marylanders like as close to 100 per cent crab as possible in the crab cake, and only put enough spice to accent the pure, sweet crabmeat. Crab soup (a sort of veg. beef with little beef and crab claw meat) is a favorite, lately nudged out by cream of crab. Maryland fried chicken is also served widely (the chain still exists in some small southern towns). Corn meal or flour mixed with pepper and not too many other spices make the mild breading. A little paprika works, too. Maryland fried chicken isn't going after the Colonel's many secret herbs and spices. It's down home and from the Eastern shore, but served in many homes in Baltimore. Local brands which may or may not have made it to Georgia are Utz chips (they make a chip flavored with Old Bay crab seasoning), Berger's cookies, and Suburban sodas, especially the Almond Smash flavor. (but they don't all go well together at the same meal!) Corn, in season, and fried RED tomatoes (firm; not too ripe) are local favorites, too.

    Can anyone give me a few names of the best women Gynecologist in the Baltimore Maryland area?
    Question:
    I am new to Baltimore and I am looking for a good woman gynecologist. Even in the Glen Burnie or Odenton Maryland area would be better.

    Answer:
    Sorry, I am not from Baltimore and I can't refer you to a specific Gynecologist. Try to enter "Gynecologist in Baltimore" into your search engine, you will get results. On the other hand, getting proper information on Women's Health is very important! I personally have addressed such women's issues by regularly visiting a comprehensive website dedicated to help women. Such website contains valuable resource information on all topics related to WOMEN HEALTH, OB GYN & MEDICAL EXAM. All the information is updated daily on a continuous basis. I invite you to have a look at it. Like myself, I am convinced that you will find all the appropriate solutions/answers as well as all the precautionary means and tools to keep in good health for many years to come. http://www.gynecography.com

    Im from Baltimore, Maryland. But I dont quite understand it. Why do the Orioles keep losing? They won a game recently which is good, but any other time its lose,lose,lose.

There is always something going on everynight and its not hard to find some nice spots.

    What is the prevailing attitude towards police officers in Baltimore, Maryland?
    Question:
    My fiance and I are researching Baltimore, Maryland as a possible new home. He is currently applying to several police departments and is seriously considering Baltimore PD as an option because he grew up there. I'll support him wherever he wants to go, but this is a decision we're making together and I want to be properly informed about the city we may move to, especially concerning the area's attitudes towards police officers. I'm curious to know how current Baltimore residents view their 'men in blue'. I know that opinions vary, but in general is there a sense of respect, admiration, or even resentment? Could anyone give any information on acts of violence against police officers in the area? Though the city seems charming, I wouldn't want to move to a part of the country where my future husband would be in more danger than say in San Francisco, Pasadena, or Los Angeles (other options of ours) and I would really appreciate some feedback from local residents. Thanks. :)

    Answer:
    The attitude towards the police in B'more can be summed up quite easily: "Stop snitching!" The PD has a reputation for only making itself present in a lower class (read: "black") neighborhood when it suspects someone has committed a crime to an upper-class ("white") citizen. When there is crime within those poorer neighborhood, the police are nowhere to be found and rarely lend a helping hand to the majority of the people who do obey the law even though they don't have great economic resources. Maybe your fiancee can help change this culture, b/c B'more is really a great city for its few foibles.

    Who is the best home inspector in Baltimore, Maryland?
    Question:
    We recently had a home inspection performed on a house we were selling by Homecheck. They claim to have trained professionals as opposed to weekend warriors but in my opinion the person who did the inspection was either not trained properly, or rushed through the process. He reported a that the sump pump was not connected, and that the hot water heater would not ignite. I went to look at these two items and both were false! I feel that possibly thay may not have been truthful. Does anyone know of a reliable home inspection service in Baltimore, MD? Thanks

    What to do in Baltimore Maryland or near the area?
    Question:
    My husband and I are going to Maryland for 4days during Memorial weekend and we're trying to find things to do. So far we plan to go to the Aquarium and see a baseball game. Where are some good places to eat seafood and whats there to do at night? I'm 24 he's 26 so we're looking to have some fun. What are also some relaxing things to do near by ... like what beaches are around? We have a toddler so we would like to take this time to relax.

    Answer:
    Baltimore's Inner Harbor / Fort McHenry / USS Constellation (last surviving ship of the Civil War) / the National Aquarium / Baltimore's World Trade Center with observation floor / WWII USS Torsk Sub docked at Inner Harbor / Baltimore Museum of Art/ Walters Art Museum / Hippodrome Theater/ Southern MD-- Ocean City / Asseteague Island (Wild horses on the beach-- minutes from Ocean City. There are numerous waterfront sites in and around the Chesapeake Bay, but if you mean the ocean, Ocean City is a good three hour drive south of Baltimore in southern Maryland. Great seafood is everywhere. I can't be too specific because I cook and we're not "diner outers". Here's a good link: http://www.baltimore.org/baltimore_restaurants.htm I can vouch for Bo Brooks at Lighthouse Point-- get steamed crabs! The Federal Hill area (south side of harbor) is packed with great restaurants, cafes, markets and brew pubs... http://www.historicfederalhill.org/www/docs/3
