Good morning Baltimore! Even if you were not a fan of the musical Hairspray, you'll love Charm City. On the Chesapeake Bay lies plucky Baltimore, overflowing with history and character. The site of the first casualty of the American Civil War, where the lyrics of Star Spangled Banner were written, and greatly influenced by African American history, Baltimore is a landmark in itself.
Seafood fan? We've got two words for you: steamed crabs. For those of you who watch The Wire, don't worry, your life is not about to become crime-ridden when you rent in Baltimore. But you will need to become familiar with the East/West divide, pit beef sandwiches, and coddies. With some of the best healthcare in the country provided by the Johns Hopkins Hospital, entertainment offerings at venues like the Meyerhoff, Hippodrome and Lyric theatres, and of course the classic charm of Baltimore brick row houses, you'll be singing about Baltimore too, and John Waters might make a movie about it.
