  3. Thanks for being you, Baltimore!

  6. Fourth of July incidents mar Inner Harbor's image

    To a city that struggles to shake off its crime-ridden image, the incident seems like the last straw: On one of the most festive days of the year, in one of the safest places in town, amid a veritable battalion of police, a bullet appears to have fallen from the sky to strike a 4-year-old boy.

  10. 100 things we love about Baltimore -- Printable list

    A moody tavern. An extraordinary cocktail. The easy lapping of bay water against the banks of the Inner Harbor. Duckpin lanes. Old Bay. Art in an otherwise empty storefront.
