If you stay anywhere near Inner Harbor and Stadium or Old Baltimore near Route 40, you are fine.

Chaps Pit Beef is a must and Obrycki's Restaurant and Bar for crab cakes.

If you need medical help, John Hopkins University Hospital is second to none.

There's just a bunch of racist morons here who have never gone outside of their trailer parks.

The inner harbor is very neat - good aquarium, shops, little Italy right next to it.

Looks like I'll be getting tickets too so I'll be looking around for bringing beer to someone's tailgate.

I am only a couple of hours from Baltimore. I am too scared to go. Whether true or not, I picture myself getting into verbal disagreements with people cause I wear Chief's clothing.

I will be cheering for the Chiefs from the safety of my home.

Yeah, the kids try to make some money - doors locked and just keep driving.

that's good intel, thanks! The Accela is under 3 hours ride Penn to Penn. You did it all in one day with no hotel overnight? I need to work in the city Monday AM anyways so going back to NYC Penn is convenient if a do a hotel Sunday night, but they are surely not cheap and availability might be tough.

Seems that if i do a Sunday/Sunday train that skyrockets in price anyway so might as well take the long route and maybe get to check out the harbor a little.

I'm cracking up since this is coming from someone living in depressing Williamsport PA!

I'm realizing why I left this forum - you're just terrible people.
