I used to work at the Safeway right next to this nail salon. After about a week, I went into the salon to check out the prices. Their prices are very reasonable, and the nail technicians are super nice! The owner is great. Her name is Lee, and she is such a sweet heart. She goes out of her way to talk to every customer she gets. It's not like most... more

When my husband needed a lawyer, we spend days looking for the perfect one. Of course that meant one that was reasonably priced, but also good. Well, after calling numerous places, that wanted thousands of dollars and couldn't even guarantee us anything, we decided to try the guy on the back of the phone book. I am SO glad we did! Every single lawy... more

A visit to Baltimore, no matter what the season, will always include some time at the Inner Harbor. Baltimore's Inner Harbor is one of the most successful integrations of harbor-side activity and urban attractions of any city in the country. A stroll around Baltimore's world-famous Inner Harbor immediately shows visitors why Baltimore - the city by the bay - is known as the 'Charm City.'

The Inner Harbor has been one of the nation's major seaports since the eighteenth century, and has since blossomed into the cultural center of Baltimore. This area is enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike for its exceptional variety of cultural experiences, shopping, dining and nightlife.

Consider staying in one of Baltimore's Inner Harbor hotels, like the award-winning InterContinental Harbor Court Baltimore , located just steps away from all the attractions. This hotel's European-style interior resembles an intimate, yet grand, English country home. Fabulous amenities, including a fitness center, swimming pool and tennis court, make this the quintessential Inner Harbor retreat.

Sports fans and families will want to check out the Oriole's downtown stadium, Camden Yards, which was built on the land once occupied by a saloon owned by Babe Ruth's father. Since it's opening in 1992, Camden Yards has become one of the best loved ball parks in the nation, ushering a new age of downtown ballparks.

On a warm spring day, the Inner Harbor is bustling with water taxis, sailboats and tourists. Home to the National Aquarium in Baltimore and the USS Constitution, as well as many shopping and dining venues, this picturesque area offers many great ways to spend the day. The USS Constellation, the only Civil War era sailing vessel still afloat offers visitors a chance to learn about the ships maritime history, and what life was for sailors of that era.

After touring the Aquarium, hop a water taxi to Historic Fell's Point, a longtime favorite for all ages. Its cobblestoned streets along the waterfront, eclectic selection of shops and boutiques, and famed live music venues make Fell's Point a popular Baltimore diversion.

Back in Baltimore, be sure to check out some its best known museums, like the American Visionary Museum, a fun Folk Art museum right near the Inner Harbor. Another major cultural attraction is the Baltimore Museum of Art, offering a variety of dynamic exhibits throughout the year.

Children of all ages will enjoy the Port Discovery Children's Museum. One of the nation's top five children's museums, this multi-level interactive museum will ignite a child's imagination and inspire learning. Children will also enjoy a trip to Fort McHenry, a star-shaped fort that is best known for its role in the War of 1812, when it succeeded in defending Baltimore from attacks by the British Navy.

For a quick and satisfying break from all the activity, be sure to visit the Hard Rock Café Baltimore, located between the National Aquarium and Fell's Point in a historic building that dates back to the site of the first Civil War battle.

For a more traditional Chesapeake seafood dinner, Captain James Landing offers the best harbor views to be found on the harbor, and an unforgettable Baltimore dining experience.

Come explore Baltimore, and you will find that this vibrant city on the water offers something new around every corner.
