peckerhead 0 #2 October 19, 2007 Hard rock cafe, you can't miss it. It is the giant guitar by the harbor. (pronounced haabaa) I recomend the aquarium and dolphin show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skinnyshrek 0 #3 October 19, 2007 If you have the time drive down to DC. Its about an hour or 2 depending where you are. Maryland is good for crabs, and not just from the prostituteshttp://www.skydivethefarm.com do you realize that when you critisize people you dont know over the internet, you become part of a growing society of twats? ARE YOU ONE OF THEM? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mayberry 0 #7 October 19, 2007 Brush up on this before you go, it'll come in handy. Especially around Balmer. Don Here's to friends! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opurt 0 #8 October 19, 2007 Just don't get lost. Stick near the harbor and convention center and it's fine. Don't walk in unlit areas. Here's a map of all the murders in Baltimore City from the largest local newspaper. Just select "All of 2007" from the first drop-down box. Unfortunately, it's on track to be number one in the nation in homicides this year. It's a nice city, some fabulous architecture, but it has "issues". Hate to be a party pooper, but FYI. Baltimore has come nice pockets without question. A city with history and with potential. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyhi 24 #11 October 19, 2007 This place use to be pretty good. In little Italy this is a good place for dessert. When in doubt, go to Fell's Point with friends. A party every night.Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baltimore cops are tough and keep that area pretty well locked down. Every few years there's an incident at the Harbor, but the local government knows, as well as the cops, that the Inner Harbor area brings lots of revenue via tourists and conventions. So they are appropriately vigilant in that area. My primary point - don't go exploring in the surrounding areas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stabbings, aphyxiations and blunt force tramas are only as bad as the entire state of Idaho.But hey! Did you notice no murders around the giant guitar so far this year?

That's a bit surprising! Something NOT to show Mom until I get back! Good thing I have a pretty kick ass life insurance policy! Honestly though, I'm not planning on being stupid.... (well... ok, I'll try not to. Last year, I did do a walking tour of the mall at DC at 1:00am and just last week, I took my mom for a little walk - LITTLE, ie still in visual range of the nice hotel - in NYC at 2am) So... what I'm saying is that I don't have to "plan" on being stupid. I do like the idea of flying up for some Rum!! but the whole conference thing.... damn. And the annoying thing is that the one that I was going to the conference with shifted his plane tickets... so I gots to find something fun to do OTHER than just sit in the hotel room and review my cases and re-read my notes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #18 October 19, 2007 Go to Fells point : Best barhopping area imaginable. Also, in the theatre district, go to Mount Royal Tavern and Club Charles. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bmore_chrissy 0 #19 October 19, 2007 Go to the federal hill area for bars, they are way better- the Dog Pub, (formerly known as Thirsty Dog), :beer: has homemade beer for cheap and awesome pizza. Mum's is a great dive bar in fed hill, very SoBo. If you are in Fells, go to Max's- 4 million (i might exaggerate) kinds of exotic beers. In Mt Vernon (gay/theatre district, but some great places to eat/ drink) go to the Brewer's Art on Charles St. Dungeon-y, great homemade beers (including the [in]famous resurrection). Museum-type stuff: visionary Arts Museum http://www.avam.org/ and the aquarium Try to sign up for a trapeze lesson at the harbor! http://baltimore.trapezeschool.com/ Don't go to power plant, hard rock, etc. These places are soul-less and boring! Drive 2 hours (across the scenic bay bridge) to Skydive Delmarva, and jump!!! PM me for any specific Q's, i live in baltimore and have yet to get shot, raped, mugged, or asfixiated. And i regularly have a good time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
