Agree with the sentiment on DC being more sterile, but pretty sure the Baltimore County suburbs also count as strip mall sprawl.

Agreed, but I'm in the city.

Grew up in Texas, where everything shut down in Houston and Dallas downtown after 6pm and looked like a ghost town. Baltimore never looks like that. You have to go outside the city to find the strip mall sprawl, and the inner city isn't dead after 6pm.

I always says baltimore and dc are sister cities, One might be successful, but the other one can be a dirt bag but has a way better personality.

They said “in Baltimore proper,” which excludes the suburbs

For a lot of it, yes, but there are still pockets of individuality in the County.
