Baltimore Day Trip: Where Charm Meets Caution ⚠️✨
Baltimore - Maryland's largest city, a historic port town turned infamous for gang violence and drug trade (ranked top 10 most dangerous US cities yearly). Ironically, it's also home to JHU's main campus - where treating gunshot wounds is a medical specialty. 🖼️ Safe Zone Highlights: ✅ Baltimore Museum of Art (Matisse/Picasso galore!) ✅ Walters Art Museum (Ancient to Renaissance treasures) ✅ Inner Harbor strolls (Tourist bubble = relatively safe) ✅ Washington Monument (Mini DC version with city views) 😅 Close Encounter: While photographing streets, a local "politely" inquired if I was snapping him. After explaining "just architecture, bro", I received: A torrent of creative English vocabulary 🎤 An unexpected fist bump 👊 Permission to continue living 🌈 "Baltimore keeps you alert - even the sightseeing comes with adrenaline!" #Baltimore #Maryland #DMV #UrbanExplorer
