This area is the jewel of Baltimore -- from the Peabody Library to the Walters Art Museum and the gardens around the monument.

Just love the architecture, from the Brownstones to the Square to the Peabody, the Belvedere, the Walters...plus the Restaurant scene: SottoSopra, City Cafe, Brewers Art... The book fair, the lighting of the Washington Monument...

I've lived in the neighborhood for the last 14 years. It's diversity is a huge part of it's charm. It's got a variety of restaurants & bars to choose from. Really hard to get out of this hood!

This area has experienced somewhat of a rennaisance in recent years, partly due to the real estate boom in the mid 2000s.

A city circle near the Walters Art Museum and Peabody Conservatory with George Washington Monument in the middle. Site of many movie shoots of Barry Levinson and other directors. Pleasant place to be.
