[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep in mind that Baltimore is a different world than DC--the people are completely different there.  I don't mean that in a bad way (I'm from there after all) and that may be one of the reasons that you are looking to move there.  Also, [b]a lot of people who live in Baltimore are from Baltimore and have extended families in Baltimore (not a lot of transplants like here) so you may find that your neighbors already have a strong, established network of friends [/b]but the people there tend to be very friendly so you will likely be welcomed into their circles rather than feel like an outsider.

I moved from DC to Baltimore and then back to DC, all pre-kids.  I agree strongly with the bolded portion of what the PP wrote above.  People there are very friendly, but we found it difficult to form real social connections because it seemed like everybody we met already had a circle of friends they had known since high school.  That said, I think we would have had a much easier time making friends if we had kids.  There is something about kids that makes social connections easier, IME.

Compared to DC, Baltimore can feel very provincial and that was something my husband really hated about it.  Personally, I preferred that to the competitive atmosphere in DC.  Now that we have children, I would actually really like to move back to Baltimore.[/quote]
