[quote=Anonymous]I moved to Baltimore from DC last year and love it. I don't understand why people are so negative about it. Yes, I see the bad areas but don't live or shop or hang out there. My kids are beyond school age so I'm not too focused on that, but I hear that Roland Park ES/MS is good and there are application high schools that are solid. We live in between Federal Hill and Locust Point (Riverside) and love the walkability and feel very safe, but I don't know much about the schools. It's convenient to getting downtown/Inner Harbor and to DC which was our priority.

I visited Towson last weekend and found it to be charming for a suburb. I'm a city girl, but I could see the appeal. I also like Ellicott City, but only the downtown area which would be difficult to live in. I think Columbia is meh, but I assume the schools are good.

I lived in Norfolk for a summer years ago and it was the only place I've ever been where someone actually used the "n" word as if it was no big deal. White military wife. It was astounding. I found Norfolk to be a pit, but I was young, lived in a crappy apartment in a crappy neighborhood, and had no car so I didn't get around to any nice areas much. I do like VA Beach, but from Baltimore we get out to Ocean City around 5 times a year now and also go to the various beaches/beach towns on the Chesapeake quite often. We're also 15 minutes from BWI and fly a lot since it's so convenient.

LOVE Baltimore!!!![/quote]
