Reply to comment by 9to5Voyager in What's the social scene like in Baltimore? by 9to5Voyager

I get you. I suppose my point was that in my experience Baltimore feels much smaller than it is. Social opportunities are pretty similar here to what I found in Richmond but I was from that area so maybe that skews my impression. Not trying to discourage you from giving Charm City a go, I just don’t know that it’s going to provide you with a clearly more robust social life.

Oh I see what you're saying. Well I haven't pulled any triggers yet but from what I've gathered on here and my very limited time in the city, definitely seems worth a shot. If not, I'll make RVA work or maybe some place else.

As long as you don’t move to DC you’ll at worst be making a lateral move haha.

The absolute worst. A beautiful city filled with a bunch of uptight boring ass people. That’s where I was between Richmond and Baltimore. Don’t miss it one bit.

It's the only city I've ever been to where you can't ask someone for directions on the street. People talk about NY, Boston, Philly, etc. I've found those people to all be perfectly helpful. People in DC walk right by you like you're not even there. I don't even stop people! I ask them in passing out of respect for their time! And I've heard horror stories about the social scene there.

Great place to visit though.
