Derek Sivers wrote an interesting post (http://sivers.org/la) as advice for folks moving to LA. Here's my thoughts on the same topic, but about Baltimore, MD.

I moved into South Baltimore in 1996 and I've lived in this neighborhood ever since. Here are a few of my thoughts (please fork and edit):

• Baltimore is made up of many different neighborhoods. Getting to know the character of each of the them will enhance your experience.

You have to get it into the neighborhoods to find the truly great food, the fun bars, and genuine people.

• "The Wire" is real, but you probably won't see it. Unless you're visiting your cousin who lives on West Lanvalle, you probably won't see much that resembles a Barksdale corner. And don't ask for a "Wire Tour" - that's not what we're about.
