Despite the heat - it was as high as 92 degrees (F) today or about 33 (C) - we have been walking around some the city's older districts. These include Fells Point and Federal Hill. Both have lots of small 2-3 three storey row houses, often with highly decorated eaves, and small shops, bars or cafes with a lot of what is called 'character'. They're socially upwardly mobile with a lot of restoration work in progress and many younger inhabitants. Also, there are some pleasant waterfront views, little squares, cobbled streets, shady trees, and a few museums like the one with Baltimore's oldest residence. So, it's all rather nice.
One place we visited twice for a drink is called the 'Daily Grind' - rather apt for a coffee shop. It has a separate entrance for customers with pets, It is also a lesson in economics and sociology as its young clientele sits one to rather ordinary table, most sporting an open lap-top. I canonly guess at what they are doing - perhaps writing their next novel or designing a winter wardrobe. 
Look at a few a few pictures.
