The real estate website Movoto sent us this post they have headlined “27 Photos of Baltimore That Will Make You Want to Move There.” The tag line is “From the harbor to the streets, to everything in between, come see why Baltimore is the (sic) Charm City.” The “the” before Charm City tips us off that the post was not put together by locals, and, of course, we already live here. Nevertheless, the pictures are pretty gorgeous and prove to be the perfect antidote to the Monday morning blahs. Take a look and remind yourself why it’s good to live in Baltimore!

What’s the most beautiful spot in Baltimore? Tell us in the comments below!
So Baltimore is just the Inner Harbor?? That’s certainly not why I love it. Here’s my list: Charles Village’s Painted Ladies, Northeast Market, Fells Point, Cylburn Arboretum, 36th Street, the murals in Geenmount West, and the magnificent Greenmount Cemetary, the Waverly Farmers Market, the Downtown Farmers Market, Captain James landing, Value Village in Govans, Mr. Bill’s Terrace Inn, The Senator Theater.
Really?
