i spent some time living there for work. i kind of hated the place, but it sort of grew on my after a while (like a skin condition).
there is a great record shop called The Sound Garden down at Fells Point. excellent used section. if you go on a Friday night check out Club Charles, and you'll probably see John Waters there. The Ottobar is a cool place, music venue and bar. probably my favorite place while i was there. where all the cute punk chicks hang out.
also, you should go to Brewers Art for sure. some of the best microbrews i've ever had. and the food is excellent. i became addicted to that place (and the "Ozzy" beer)
people will tell you that Rasputin music is the best record shop but it kind of sucks |

Well her heart was filled with gladness
When she saw those city lights
She said the prettiest place on earth was
Baltimore at night
Well a man feels proud to give his woman
What she's longing for
And I kinda liked the streets of Baltimore

the ottobar was also my favourite place while I was there, also if you get the chance, go to the aquarium, I love that place.

Why do you think they call it "the city that reads"? LOL.
I'm going back in May to visit family. The only thing that bothers me is it's the wrong time of year for crabs.
