don't hate...this is my backyard, great place to paint although the buff is a little hard hitting now...huge freight scene...home of the wire, they were out filming in Federal Hill area last night....stay out of the tourist areas and get in the outskirts is right....good bars in little italy, fells, federal hill....inner harbour sucks....plenty of crime, murder, homeless crackheads for you too...have fun....a lot of great writers are from/still live here...good history
