About this app
Baltimore ("Balto") was established in 1729, and since its founding, the city and its people have not only survived, but thrived despite repeated attacks dating all the way back to the British forces to today's politically-infused tweets.
It is the State of Maryland's economic center, and the birthplace and home to many of America's cultural icons of yesterday and today.
Whether you saw the movie "Hairspray", or the television series "The Wire", the truth is that Baltimore, like its residents, is a mix of everything. We are 63% African-American, 29% White, 4% LatinX, 2% Asian and Other races/mixes of races.
We are often recognized as one of the coolest cities in America to visit:
"In addition to The New York Times, Southwest Airlines, and Zagat, Forbes, too, has jumped on the bandwagon of recognizing the beauty of Baltimore". The business magazine listed the city as one of the “10 Coolest U.S. Cities to Visit...”

And while Baltimore, like every major city in America, is no stranger to controversy and conflicts, it is a city of many proud residents and communities; including a local city newspaper that featured what many throughout the United States have called the headline of the century when they came to the defense of the city after a series of negative "politically-infused" tweets:
"Better to Have a Few Rats, than to be One"
