- Baltimore Maryland is a major U.S. city located on the Patapsco River about an hour North of Washington D.C. Baltimore has been a major port for shipping and immigration throughout U.S. history, and Baltimore's inner harbor is still a major tourist destination to this day. In this video, we explore Baltimore, looking at both the history and current status of the charm city.

My hometown ❤️ Born in Baltimore, raised in London, England. Have been back many times and loved every visit. Sure there's problems but the city feels alive and lived in still unlike some of the major cities like London or New York.
There’s a great energy in Baltimore that doesn’t exist in other similarly sized US cities, i totally agree
4 murderers this weekend. How many in London this weekend?
@@Guitaroverkill Nah only stabbings innit
@@JL-zb3ql Funny how a guy that grew up in England can have such poor English.
Hey! Leave New York out of this 🤣
Im from Baltimore. And this is the best video I have seen about the history of the city. Hopefully u could dig deeper in blessed us with a part two.
Thank you!!! I do hope to revisit Baltimore some day and make another video
What do you think about Johns Hopkins university? Considering attending
I was born Baltimore. Will always Love Baltimore in Peace and Unity.
Wish we had peace in unity in the city
Me too. St Agnes hospital Baltimore. Will always be my hometown.
spent 2 days there what a breathtaking city beautiful city
Ah yes indeed I’m glad you feel the same way!
I graduated from the historic HBCU, Morgan State University located in Baltimore in 1978. Baltimore in 2023 is a HELL hole plagued with violence, shootings, and car-jackings. If someone were to give me a free home in the Canton - Fells Point neighborhoods not too far from Johns Hopkins University Hospital in East Baltimore, I wouldn't take it.
Come back strong Baltimore, Maryland 💪🏾
Baltimore is Maryland's largest city home of the Ravens and Orioles! Also the birthplace of the American Railroad!
Hi DC Show, I'm Dennis from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about a brief overview of Baltimore!
Hi Dennis! Glad you enjoyed the video! Funny enough I love Cleveland and plan to make a video on it some day.
Very informative
Baltimore was a great vacation place for family fun!
Emphasis on WAS lol
Hey, don't forget the west Baltimore neighborhood, Sandtown-Winchester! I've lived there for over twenty years. I'm a PROUD BALTIMOREAN!
What exactly do you have to be proud of?
@@karlosthejackel69 you can be proud of where you’re from 🤷♂️
👀👏🏾
@@karlosthejackel69 I'm proud of where my roots are, right in Baltimore City!
@@saffirechanning7286 why?
One day, I think I like to visit Baltimore!
Beautiful👍
great video
Hey thanks for saying that!
What song is in the beginning
Hampden and Roland Park are also really cool neighborhoods.
What song is this?
My hometown
Been watching The Wire so I was curious
I love my city!! I grew up in Park Heights!! I go back home often.
Me 2 yo
I’m from South Baltimore- don’t live there anymore but it’s by far the most interesting city in this country!
You loved the city so much that you left. Why did you leave?
Love Baltimore!
Same Baltimore is the best
Was a great place, but the deindustrialization brutalized the city. The Harbor has lost most of it's businesses too, and their are countless destroyed ghettos where people languish amidst collapsed infrastructure.
Wooop wooooop
Indeed
Isn't it Thomas D'Alessandro instead of Charles D'Alessandro?
Even the weather sucks in Baltimore storms for 7 days straight
Rough
I grew up in Baltimore but got out as soon as I could. You didn't mention heroin, murder or crabs!
lol there are enough videos for that already
You said Baltimore is a city with 595,000 people?
I did
Worth to explore.. but is it worth living?
For some it is, for others it’s not
Heh the Inner Harbor is a walkable area … between 10am and 4:30pm. 😊
I didn’t know this was a comedy! J/k I love my bmore but the city got mad problems.
People have a giant misconception about Baltimore.
The city itself is down to 585, 000 people, but Baltimore is surrounded on the east, north and west (it doesn't have a true southern part because that's the harbor, ) by communities that touch the city line or are within about three to five miles or so of the city... that have a population of over 750, 000 people; and we all call ourselves Baltimoreans in these communities.
Three of these communities are nearing 100, 000 people and by the 2020 census all of them are growing significantly!
So, from about 3 to 5 miles outside the city, and including the city, there's a population probably, if you count all of the smaller communities ... of a little over 1. 5 million people in the immediate Baltimore area!! The city is shrinking, but these areas close to & touching the city are growing significantly!!
The metro area is almost 3 million people!
The Baltimore Metropolitan Council... should look into incorporating these areas into a larger city which could help the city itself gain better political leadership!! In the past 20 or more years, the political leadership of the city, doesn't seem all that interested in attracting people from these surrounding communities, and that REALLY needs to change; and maybe it could if a larger Baltimore City could gain fresh ideas from politicians not of the corrupt machine of the city itself!
Baltimore City is only 92 sq miles, Philly with 1.6 million, for instance is... 140 sq miles. Philly can be said to keep growing because it has that large an area where the population in much of it, like in the areas surrounding Baltimore... continue to grow.
So, there needs to be some kinda growth in the area of the city, so it can, hopefully, gain better political leadership, fresh ideas & revenue!
Baltimore will never die because of the port. It is the 9th ranked port in the nation in $$$$ of cargo that goes thru it, and is # 1 in imported auto and farm equipment handling!!
If I were in the Baltimore Metro Council, I'd seek to expand the Port of Baltimore even more to create more jobs & tax revenue, and seek some kind of incorporation with the communities that immediately surround Baltimore City.
Philly is county set Baltimore is independent would that be the reason Philadelphia is larger per capita?
Cool place but danger
Dude - you completely missed Fort McHenry where Francis Scott Key wrote the Start Spangled Banner during the War of 1812
Is Baltimore hometown of heavyweight boxer Evander Holyfield?
I’m from Baltimore! Wished it grew into the cities like Charlotte
I agree, but there is growth to be seen at least!
Charlotte?? LOL. Baltimore is a grand, old city. The two cities can't be compared and at Baltimore's height of population it was nearly a million people in 8 square miles. Charlotte is just a little sprawled out city. Baltimore is not just Baltimore anymore. Baltimore is Baltimore and Baltimore County (without it's tax base).
@@jamescsjrwork9516 Exactly people are unaware that there's two Baltimore's with a combined population of nearly 1.5 million people and 774 square miles between city and county, the government's are different but the people aren't, but it's terrible that racism killed our region from getting a heavy rail system and growing to it's full potential like many other large major American cities, I'm tired and laugh at people who try to compare Towson and Columbia to Baltimore, they are unincorporated towns, and Towson is a community and the county of Baltimore county, Baltimore is an independent major city.
We don't need anymore light rail, we need a heavy rail or maglev system that's mainly underground, or elevated, the one above ground light rail system that we have has killed and injured so many people over the years and it's much slower than heavy rail it has to stop for traffic lights, I-170 should have been completed we have the tendency to start and not finish project or downgrade them for example look at the Lexington market renovation project! It was downgraded, we're supposed to be one of the most developed cities in the country!
@@Edmondson_Avenue Well said. Well said and 100% correct.
More likely to see Charlotte deteriorate into another Baltimore than Baltimore bouncing back. The only people who defend Baltimore are residents of Baltimore.
No close up of Monroe
No, sadly I did not make it to Monroe. Some criticize me for being overly optimistic about cities, but that's just how I am.
I'm from bmore and it sucks. Sucks bad. There's a reason the population is on the decline. Weather sucks, cops are corrupt, people arnt friendly. The only people who like bmore are the idiots who have never been anywhere to compare it to. The only reason it's still alive is because it's managed to feed off dirty governmet money coming from D.C Mostly from the people who are forced to live between the two cities who work at one of the million defense companies. But those people have second homes in Florida to escape the winter and poverty stricken city so money can continue to flow outside of the places that need it the most. The worst part is anyone well traveled moves away leaving a city full of ignorant people who all think the same and can't tell u a single redeeming fact about bmore that u couldn't find in any other city. It's devoid of art, mayor was fired for corruption who also fired the police commisioner a few years back, there are no clubs, (if u count fells or fed hill ur an idiot). I'd say Gothem is worse but at least they have Batman.
Only people that got something bad to say about about Baltimore that cannot survive here
My family has lived in maryla d since the 1700s. And we use to run oysters and wiskey in the prohibition. And let me tell you the stories about crime is absolutely true Baltimore is disgusting and dangerous
Baltimore, the Flemish city..
Hey..great video. I’m from Baltimore and always wished it grew into a great city like Charlotte or Atlanta. I appreciate you. Can I ask where you are from? You do not sound like you are from Baltimore. Also, you mention Nancy Pelosi twice. She’s been disowned from her high school and from the Catholic Church. I’d be careful with that. Love everything else in this and wish you the best!!
Thanks for your support!! I’m from Albany, I’ve lived in Buffalo as well. Baltimore was a really interesting topic for a city and I thought I would go for it. Nancy Pelosi to me is just a prominent figure to have come from Baltimore. I neglected to mention many prominent figures who came from Baltimore, which is a shame. I wasn’t making any commentary on whether Pelosi is ethical or worthy of praise
Edgar Allan Poe is buried in Baltimore on the west side
I am a student from JHU, you can see gunshot everyday here in Baltimore.
How do you like JHU? Considering attending between that and Vanderbilt
@@lalaland9646 congrats! I think it’s dependent on your major and budget. If your major is relate to medicine. DEFINITELY JHU. You’ll never regret😎
@@jiayizhang2538 I want to do stem but probably not pre med, so like maybe public health, genetics, neuro or computer science
@@jiayizhang2538 do you like jhu? From what I hear, Baltimore sucks and the social environment is lacking, so I am kind of leaning towards Vanderbilt
@@lalaland9646 honestly it’s 100% true for Baltimore. But JHU can be better than you think.
Spent a lot of time in Baltimore…even lived in the Beverly Hills area of the city. O’Malley was my neighbor for a while. He’s a waste of human life, but his wife Kate was very nice.
I miss some things about Baltimore…Fells Point mostly. Overall, don’t care if I ever visit Baltimore again even though one of my brothers lives there.
* Don’t visit here if u don’t live here *
I can and I will visit
He says Nancy pelosi like she’s someone Americans should be proud of? 😳
For what its worth, I'm a registered republican, but I think from a historical perspective it's fascinating. I wasn't trying to make any sort of political commentary one way or the other.
Watch "Baltimore is Dying" good documentary released one day after this posted.
Baltimore has been going down hill for years. Have no idea where this guy gets his facts about crime
It's interesting, we recently went to San Francisco and people like you made comments such as "it's dirty, disgusting, full of crime, trash city" and so on. we started to get super worried. What have we done? But we visited SF and it was great! It was beautiful and we had the time of our lives. We even accidentally went through the tenderloin and you know what, it was fine. I think if you have a negative mindset and you have decided you hate something then nobody will change your mind. I think that's a pretty sad way to live.
I’ve tried to leave you a wonderful review with advice that NP has been disowned by her high school. Would lose that in your video.
Baltimore is the birthplace of Jim crow, redlining, and blockbusting. A very racist area since America's independents when Baltimore was under martial law because it supported the south. Today the city is predominantly black but white racist surrounds the city on every side constantly spewing negativity as the city tries to overcome all the racist policy's that's been enacted since the "white flight" in the 70's. Baltimore is a beautiful city with lots to do. Yes, there's crime here but also in every major city. Baltimore gets a lot of flack because Blacks control the city so racist in the surrounding counties always talk bad about Bmore
I agree, some of the black people here have a slavish , plantation type of mentality, very country acting
Channel name checks out.
Yeah, those Blacks running Baltimore like Mayor Brandon Scott and the City Council have helped to destroy Baltimore. 2 former Black female Baltimore Mayors, Catherine Pugh and Shelia Dixon both served time in prison for corruption.
Chronic shoplifting and violence is a way of life here. Donald Trump was right about Baltimore.
Strong rennasaince my ass, only real estate agents will tell you that lie. You risk your health living in Baltimore, end of story.
nancy pelosi
Yea dude big stuff w/ her
Why don't you take your baby daughter there and live ? Haha. You are missing the reality of baltimore. Voted no.1 city p want to leave.
There are two sides to every city, plenty of people make videos gawking at the poverty and crime. I make videos highlighting positive things about cities. If you can’t see the positive side you’re missing out in my opinion.
@@TheDCShow0 and I RESPECT WHAT YOUR doing, GOD bless you!!!!!!
Baltimore = NOPE.
Boycott Baltimore. Do not go there.
I’m gonna go there more because you said that
@@TheDCShow0 😂😂😂😂
What about for Johns Hopkins
@@lalaland9646 I think they just hired their own police force. What’s that tell you?
@@Guitaroverkill well I have the choice to go there for undergrad and I know it’s in a safer area… but I also don’t want to fear for my life
charles!!!!!!!!
Speaking of. A black friend of mine from the City told me they need more youth programs to keep there kids from getting into drugs.
No they need Black fathers living in their homes helping to raise their kids.
