I just moved from Baltimore to Austin. I've also live in Corpus Christi, Phoenix, and New York City each for at least 5+ years. I already miss Baltimore. I new nothing about it, besides being familiar with the stereotypes, before moving there (spouse got into Hopkins, so Baltimore was part of the package deal), and I fell in love with it. I was sad to move away. Maryland in general was beautiful. But Baltimore, beyond the affordable cost of living, being on the water, and the bonus of living near D.C. and NYC, well, Baltimore is a rad, raucous, beautiful, sad, historic, electric, harsh, real fucking American city. I was there, and participated in, the uprising (as well as the months of peaceful protests leading up to that time that received zero national press), and have never experienced such a beautiful and powerful response to such a horrible challenge in any of the other cities I have lived. Baltimore, I fucking love/miss you.
