Baltimore is "The Greatest City in America", according to every bench located throughout the city. The local people here take pride in their hometown and each individual neighborhood possesses a distinct feel of its own. While the majority of people still live in rowhouses, there's recently been a surge in high-rise apartments being built downtown where young professionals from all over the country are quickly beginning to flock.
