People from Baltimore can be cagey about the way outsiders see their city. That’s the kind of thing that happens when you live in close proximity to your more moneyed, fancier cousin, Washington, D.C., or when you’re faced with the real tragedy of crime (or just hounded about the fictional world of “The Wire”).

But this city is much more than that. Baltimore is a place that has always drawn people from all over — look around and you’ll see important contributions from African Americans, Asian Americans, German Americans, Italian Americans and more. The result is culture you won’t find anywhere else that’s seen in our murals, our music and our food. The people here are resilient, always striving to make the community better. We do it with grace, humor and an almost obscene amount of seafood.
