We’ve heard from readers about the things that are unique to Baltimore. You’ve said the city’s got Ray Lewis, Bergers, Natty Boh, duckpin bowling, club music, Old Bay, crabs, Lexington Market, Fort McHenry, Michael Phelps, hons… OK, you’ve covered the basics. But, Baltimore also has flaws. So, I have to ask what’s Batlitmore’s best unique quality and what’s Baltimore’s worst unique quality? Peter Angelos anyone?

the genuine city vibe of "if it ain't me, I don't care". The selfishness before selflessness is horrible. (and sorry, I'm to sleepy to run the spell check)

Downtown Baltimore. What has been touted as the "Westside". It can not survive on the Hippodrome Theater alone. The rest of it is a s***hole.

Best quality: we feature some great local music (get out and listen).
Worst quality: trash floating around the Inner Harbor (disgusting).

our near-total lack of a decent public transportation is a pretty big downer.

Same as articie, except:
Edgar Allen Poe instead of Lacrosse
B&O Museum instead of Reven/Oriole pride
National Aquarium for Inner Harbor
Domino Sugar SIGN for D.S. factory
...and what about the Shot Tower, Bromo Seltzer tower, Peabody Institute free concerts, Zoo, and Ft. McHenry (where the rockets' red glare)
