[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those recommending Baltimore to a Midwesterner from a "small city" are almost criminal. OP, do some more homework. Baltimore would be a shock to you- it's a city of despair: high crime, vacant buildings, and dysfunctional city gov. With small kids, it is absolutely a non-starter. Suburban southern Maryland counties have their own problems, too, when it comes to education. I know of what I speak having traveled there often and having family who have worked in the city at Hopkins for decades. Do not go there- you'll regret it.

Norfolk is safer and cleaner- you can drive to NC, DC, etc if you need a change of scenery. Virginia is a wonderful state to call home. [/quote]

You are ridiculous human being.

OP, try to talk to people who actually have first-hand experience of raising kids in the area you’re interested in, not idiots on DCUM who have “traveled there often” and saw something that made them run shrieking back to their Virginia McMansion.

Downtown Baltimore is great to visit and has lots of fun kid stuff, but you have to be very intentional about schools, and likely go private unless you get lucky in the charter lottery. There are terrific schools a short commute into Baltimore County, though. [/quote]
