Baltimore is the biggest city in Md. It's a place where everybody knows everybody. The only place where the weather can be 100 degrees & 100% humidity lol.
Only 3 other places come close:
Detroit goes
hard, Philly is our brothers and
Jersey is just
real with it.

Baltimore=resilience. To make it out of Baltimore is
something to brag about. Even people from the projects make it everyday from NY and
LA because they are already set up from birth to succeed. Baltimoreans have to truly
fight to make it and that's what makes us so resilient.
