CHARM CITY

I am here for Friends

About Me

I was founded in 1729. In 1904 I burned for 30 hours, destroying 1,526 buildings, spanning 70 city blocks. Edgar Allen Poe turned up in a gutter, in a most delirious condition here, and died on October 7, 1849. I will forever be home to drunks, and bad ass people. One more thing...My speech is fucking impeccable. Baltimorese
