Baltimore, Maryland, USA:
Went to Baltimore in
September 2005....for OCUG 2005
Baltimore is the 12th
largest city in the United States, is named "Charm City" for its
residents well-established concern for the quality of life. Long
considered a southern town, Baltimore owed much of its early growth and
prosperity to its desirable location.
It lay farther west than any other
major Atlantic port, endearing its harbor to shippers. Baltimore now
ranks fifth among United States ports, with major railways and trucking
lines carrying cargoes to and from docks at Canton and Curtis Bay, as
well as raw materials to the city's many factories.
