Small town feel

9/19/2006
Baltimore does not have the feel and energy of major city; within that lays its charm. Having more nightlife, culture, and energy, DC is definitely more of a "city". Nevertheless, Baltimore has nightlife without the big city price tag. You can find places to go out and not pay $5 for a beer. Parking in Fells, until recently, was free. And even now, it's a nominal charge, unlike most big cities - including its neighbor DC. Housing is also way more affordable than alot of bigger cities. You can find a place in Canton, or even Federal Hill, that is far more reasonable than say...Georgetown or Adams Morgan. There are also many activities that take place in Patterson Park. I read many comments about people that don't want to go out and drink, what's your problem? Just kiddin'!. With what activities do you want to be involved? PP has cultural festivals and also offers an array of outdoor sport leagues. Plus, geographically speaking, Baltimore has an ideal location. If you do want the "feel" of a bigger city, DC is 45 mins away. NYC is also not a bad drive, except for the tolls. So, basically, is what I am saying is the town has a "small town" feel and price tag. There are activities to do, the key is to go out and find them.
