I mean if your exceptions are cheesesteak and pizza, what’s left at that point?

To be fair, many (many) years ago, Baltimore was a big city

York City PA is like a little Baltimore.

NY lmao

It's more like Cleveland but I guess we will just say Philly

This is a great list, thanks. I like that you included attractions/monuments and also restaurants/bars.

If I wanted a place with a view that I could just sit and read I guess the Canton waterfront would be my best bet of these.

Also lived in both and I completely agree with you.

I've never been. I drove by once and it wasn't open and I forgot about it. I'll definitely go back.

Oh good whiskey selection, I like that.

Yes!!! I’ve always thought Philly has a hostile vibe too. People here are by and large much friendlier and more welcoming to outsiders

I don't know for sure, but I doubt a law passed for Baltimore city would apply to higher offices.

Which makes it so funny that we have such a rivalry/hatred with them.

Personally I think Baltimore is half philly and half Richmond. We have the same architecture and accents as Philly but a slower feel and more casual laid back people like a more southern city like Richmond.

Same architecture too.

Philly, then Richmond, Boston, DC, and NY. I would say DC and NY are somewhat interchangeable, but because of DMV proximity there are some similarities (although DC folks hate to be compared to Baltimore).

Philly is meaner and has more potholes; I would argue Baltimore's food is better on average (although Philly has more good high-end options) with the exceptions of Chinese food, pizza, and cheesesteaks. Philadelphia currently has a more functional city government and a larger population, although that varies from decade to decade.

But on most other counts, they're very similar cities culturally.

I don't think the accents are that similar, though.

This is not false. Philly is very affordable. Maybe not in say Rittenhouse or center city, but rents are comparable to here.

This is false. Maybe if you’re talking some dog shit. Neighborhood. Philly is def more expensive. But idk about that 125k Baltimore price either. What neighborhood?!

Philly bc of the accent. But people need to realize how small the population of Baltimore really is. Getting Smaller too

maybe when we flush all of our politicians with the term limits we just passed, we can convince some Philly city government folks to move here. Philly always seems like Baltimore but with more competent leadership and without the state resource drain that is DC

A walk around Ft. McHenry is always nice!
