Did an extended weekend in DC & Baltimore.  Didn't take too many photos of DC but having never been to Baltimore, I took a few and decided to post some.  Must say I was impressed with the parts of the city I saw and the amount of things to do.  We could have stayed longer and I didn't even get a chance to catch a game at Camden Yards.

Great shots of Bawlmore

Wonderful stuff!

Excellent.  One of my favorites.

Baltimore has sure cleaned up in the last decade or so, and your pictures really reflect the beauty that was hidden for decades under the grime and soot.  There is something, to me, very comforting about Baltimore.  Thanks for the tour.

 

 

This shot reminds me a lot of a  shot I took in NYC a few years back...minus some of the background bldgs:

It seems almost European with it's formal urban parks and statues, stately townhouses, and dense residential waterfronts.

Good pics.

Baltimore is a good time, although I thinnk the Inner Harbor is a bit played out.

Uncle Rando: Nice shot.  The gothic detailing on the first Baltimore gothic church photo was just over-the-top.  And the spire was almost out of proportion with the size of the church but striking never-the-less.  From an architectural perspective I probably like the church you showed better.

 

X: I lived in Boston for a while and Baltimore reminded me a lot of it and with obvious good reason, all the way to the fact that the same developer of the Inner Harbor was the same as Quincy Market in Boston.

 

w28th: I might agree with you that the Inner harbor might be "played out" but all the tourists seemed to love it and having never been, I certainly ate it all up.  What I wouldn't give for say a critical mass of tourists on the Banks or downtown like that.  Selfishly, I'd love say the Aquarium on the Banks with surrounding shops and hotels (and Hofbrauhaus?).  Add a water taxi service to say Argosy?  Maybe a docked "Delta Queen" for tours or something?  Add the Central Riverfront Park (which Inner Harbor doesn't really have), the stadiums, the Red's Hall of Fame, and the Freedom Center and you have a tourist destination like none other.  A real "Public Landing" for Cincinnati.

Nice street-level shots! Baltimore has so much history and good variety in its neighborhoods, in addition to a pretty good bunch of high-quality attractions for historic technology geeks like me; B&0 Railroad Museum, Baltimore Fire Museum, Streetcar Museum, just for a start.

Great pics. I haven't spent much time in Baltimore since the mid-80s. The Inner Harbor was pretty active then, and was the model for North Coast Harbor in Cleveland. They were just starting to rebuild the neighborhoods to the east of downtown while we were there.
