Baltimore: More Than Just a Pretty City (Okay, Maybe Not That Pretty)
So, you’re wondering what state Baltimore is in, huh? Well, let's dive into this mystery deeper than the depths of a crab cake sandwich.

| What American State Is Baltimore In |
Maryland, Baby!
Believe it or not, Baltimore is actually in a state called Maryland. Now, I know what you're thinking, "Maryland? Isn't that where they film those cheesy crab cake commercials?" Well, yes, but it's also home to Baltimore, a city with a rich history, a vibrant culture, and a questionable amount of humidity.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
A City of Charm (and a Bit of Grit)
Baltimoreans will tell you their city is full of charm. And they're not wrong, kind of. Sure, there's the Inner Harbor, with its fancy boats and overpriced seafood. But let's be real, the real charm of Baltimore lies in its neighborhoods. From the historic Federal Hill to the eclectic Hampden, there's a unique vibe to discover around every corner.
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Just remember, if you're visiting, don't try to order a "round" of drinks. That's a Philly thing. And for the love of all things holy, don't put ketchup on your fries. Seriously, it's a cardinal sin in these parts.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.

So, Why Maryland?
You might be wondering why Baltimore didn't just become its own state. I mean, it's got everything: a harbor, a sports team (the Ravens, who are awesome), and a questionable accent. But alas, it remains a loyal part of Maryland. Maybe one day, Baltimore will secede and become the Crab Cake Republic. A girl can dream, right?
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.
