Balt'mer: Home of Poe, the O's, and Baltoberfest

by Rixie - last update: Sep 20, 2006

I lived not far from Baltimore for nine years, so coming to Baltoberfest was a return to my roots. Balt'mer has undergone a transformation since those early, pre-Beltway days; formerly seedy areas have been cleaned up and remodeled. Today visitors to the city think, "How charming and historic!" instead of "Omigawd, I wonder if I can get back to the hotel without being mugged?"

The demographics in Baltimore have changed over the years, and the population is not just black and white anymore.

 I've breezed through Bal'more several times. Enjoyed the restored center. Your hotel looks like a very good recommendation.

 while in Cambodia, I learned how to say diaper in Italian. It's pannolini. I'm getting a new bag made, and it'll be called the fellini pannolini! ;-)

 It occurs to me that Baltoberfest could be even better than Oktoberfest because you could have it every month, not just in October! Good thinking .. :)
