Best Sellers in Baltimore, MD By Duffy Weir

Baltimore is a city of great contrasts with its gritty side made famous by television shows like “The Wire.” On the other hand, there are horse farm homesteads and quirky, artsy neighborhoods like Hampden. Baltimore is renowned for its service-based economy boasting some of the best hospitals in the country. Charm City, as Baltimore is called, has it all: from the gorgeous Chesapeake Bay and its famous blue steamed crabs to vibrant ethnic neighborhoods. This diversity is reflected in Baltimore’s gift shops – there is plenty of kitsch mixed in with the refined.
