DC/Baltimore/Philly/NYC are all technically Mid-Atlantic. Does Baltimore have southern aspects? Kinda. Would I consider it a "southern" city in colliqual convo? Never in a million years and I say this as someone who's lived in Meridian, Mississippi.
I don't think you realize how large Baltimore actually is. The city proper has more people than Charleston, Baton Rouge & Jackson combined and theres something like 930k people inside the 695 Beltway (an area of 152 sq/mi) or roughly a 7 mile radius from downtown. For context... DC has 1.4 million, New Orleans and Atlanta both have 591k, Charlotte has 475k, Memphis has 456k, while Birmingham has a partly 298k inside that same 7 mile radius.
It's a
massive city (by American standards) anyway you slice it. It's mainly loosing population because the median household size is decreasing or in laymens terms. Families are moving out and singles/couples are moving in but not fast enough to offset the out migration.

Thank you for posting that site I will check it out and hopefully I don’t have to make an account.

Baltimore has decent soul food, meh Mexican (San Diego spoiled me), ok barbecue and carnival food, amazing deserts and Italian. Yes, the city is renowned for its seafood (crab cakes in particular) so you'll never go wrong there.
Nope. No need to make an account on reddit to view things (you do need to make an account to comment)
