Baltimore has been called "Charm City" or "America in Minitature." But it is more that that - much more. It has held to its history and maritime heritage, while plunging into the 21st century like a Baltimore clipper, bringing cannons to bear. Few American cities have preserved their pasts while being a flagship for urban renewal. But Baltimore has done it. The restoration of its downtown and Inner Harbor has given the city back its pride, and with a billion-dollar budget planned for the next few years, its future has been called Baltimore's Second Renaissance. So, go and experience the best of our past and our First Renaissance. Walk among the Tall Ships, feast on the world's best crab cakes, browse hundreds of boutiques, and soak up our 400-year history at our museums and the oldest pubs in America - all within a good stretch of the legs from the Inner Harbor.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Baltimore: A Photographic Portrait (Hardcover)
I bought this book because I wanted to see what Baltimore had to offer for tourists and I was impressed! This book has amazing photography and I got to see the scope of some of its attractions such as the National Aquarium and Edgar Allen Poe house! I also love the architecture of the Mount Vernon and Canton Hill neighbourhoods. The only drawback was that this book didn't contain not one picture of the Washington Monument in Mount Vernon. I wish they had. Other than this drawback, I loved the book and would recommend it!
