Fells Point and the Weirdness of Baltimore

Baltimore doesn't look so weird in the photo, I know, but it's an odd city. The first time Chris and I went there, we went to a street with a bunch of bars on it. In the course of about 20 minutes, we saw three drunken brawls break out.

This trip was a little more chill. We stayed in Fells Point on a very quiet night. This time there were bars, but no brawls. The odd thing about Baltimore is that you never really know what you are going to get and it always seems just a little bit sad.

Fells Point is a nicer area than most. Much of Baltimore feels like a run down industrial city, way past its prime. They have urban renewalized much of the harbor area, so now it is filled with cheesy tourist bars and chains. Not sure which is worse to tell you the truth.
