Top 10 things about living in Baltimore (from a newb’s perspective)

1. The weather is not as hot as Austin.

2. It’s a bigger and older city, so it has lots of interesting architecture and more to explore.

3. You can drive 2 hours or less in any given direction and arrive in some very exciting places to visit, including Washington DC and New York City.

4. The berries are amazing. Better than any I’ve had in the south.

5. The people are overall very nice.

6. Sam has a much better job, much better insurance, and makes more money.

7. We live in an old house with a lot more charm and character than our house in Austin.

8. It’s pretty cool being able to really explore and discover a new city; not like when you’re just visiting and you only have X number of days to check it out.

9. There are a lot of museums, and most of them are free!

10. Our neighbors are amazing people, the kind you sense will become lifelong friends.
