Wish You Were Here!: A Guide to Baltimore City for Natives and Newcomers

Rating:
Summary: Great guide to rediscovering a fascinating city!!
Review: Living in the Baltimore area for the past nine years, I thought I was somewhat familiar with the history of the city as well as most of the local sights. When I saw the full title of WISH YOU WERE HERE, this part intrigued me: "A Guide to Baltimore City for Natives and Newcomers." I'm actually neither, but I suppose I'd be considered more a newcomer than anything else...and this book has re-introduced Baltimore to me in a way that makes me enjoy and appreciate it's singular identity all the more. Written in a friendly yet informative tone, it reads almost like a letter from a friend who wants to share a beloved hometown with you. I highly recommend it to all "natives and newcomers" who want to know what makes Baltimore the unpretentious yet fascinating place that it is.
