Here are Baltimore skyline photos! heres what Baltimore looks like now, but in about 10 or so years, if 10 inner harbor, 300 E. Pratt, and naign towers get built, The skyline will be drastically different. So here is what it looks like for now. enjoy
I've been searching and searching these Baltimore threads for a picture of my alma mater, Johns Hopkins, and finally I found one:
That Georgian tower has got to be Gilman Hall and even though it has been 40 years, I think this was taken from one of the apartment buildings on University Parkway.
Thanks. I'll be making a trip there in December just to see what they've done to the place after all these years.
Baltimore is a very historic place and also an instructive one. It probably owes its renaissance to being on the I-95 corridor, sandwiched between Washington and Philadelphia. Otherwise, it has a lot in common with places like Pittsburgh and Detroit: once very ethnic, very blue collar, very industrial--a great port city. But as its industries like Bethlehem Steel and Chevrolet have dried up, it seems to be successfully reinventing itself and that's great. I hope, though, that it preserves just a bit of its erstwhile ethnic flavor--things like the Lexington and North Avenue Markets. I haven't been back in years but I'm guessing the "arabs" (a local name for a person selling vegetables from horse-drawn wagons that I remember seeing as late as the early 1960s) are gone, though.
