A True Baltimorean


My story about Baltimore is about what other people think about Baltimore. Many people that live outside of Baltimore either think that Baltimore is a boring place or a bad place.

I personally don’t think that we are boring or a bad place. I feel like people think that it is a bad place from what was seen on television like The Wire. I lived in Baltimore all my life I never found it boring. This story I am about to tell is about an experience I have had in the past year.

I have a friend that always found Baltimore boring. He is from New York but moved to three different states. Baltimore was going to be his last state that he moved to before going back to New York. I would always try to explain to him that Baltimore is not all that boring, you just hasn’t seen everything yet. I would take him to the Inner Harbor because I always thought that the Inner Harbor was fun, but he still thinks that Baltimore is boring. The Inner Harbor has really cool restaurants, the aquarium, and sight-seeing. The other places that I thought were always fun were the festivals like the Afram and the Artscape. I would always like the music, the entertainment, especially the food. Also there is paintball and rock climbing at the Fun Zone, I always found that was a fun experience. He really hasn’t been outside of Baltimore and really experienced the rest of Maryland like I have; for example the National Harbor which is in DC like an hour away. There is very fun stuff to do there and stores to see that I would think he would like. Also a light show from the waterfall inside a hotel, fireworks showing at the end of the night. I always thought that that could be fun. Till this day I am still trying to convince him that Baltimore isn’t boring so he would leave Baltimore knowing that he had a fun experience before he moves back to New York.
