Summary: Tells it like it is
Comment: The thing I like about this guidebook is its honesty. I've lived in Baltimore all my life and I recognize my city in this book's pages. It's genuinely entertaining and exposes a few warts as well as the good stuff. Plus, it has top 10 lists from Gov. Shaefer and from John Steadman, my all-time favorite Baltimore sportswriter.
Rating: 4
Summary: Sugarman, a surname that says it all...
Comment: This guide is sweet!
Again Joe Sugarman, in a light and appropriate tone for a city guide, points out the best in town... If you want to visit Baltimore without fear of loosing time and wasting money walking in circles: read this guide.
Read it and you will enjoy Baltimore; loose it and you will not be aware of the beauties you're loosing in this marvellous city.
This guide might not be the *most* extensive, but all the info that has been packed in it is selected: I don't want to see everything there is to see - I want to see the *best* there is to see!

Summary: Negative Undercurrent
Comment: Besides this book, I purchased at the same time The Insiders' Guide to Baltimore, which is $2.00 more and 150 pages longer. I give this City Smart guide 2 stars, compared to a 5 star rating on the Insiders' Guide. The reason for the wide difference in rating the two books: This book, City Smart, is trying to be hip, flippant, and tounge-in-cheek. Instead, it comes off as very negative. I purchased the two books at the same time, read this one first, and when I was done I really wasn't sure I wanted to visit Baltimore. And that would be a mistake because Baltimore is indeed Charm City, and the other book really brings that out. It has a much more upbeat, positive, optimistic, good-natured style; as well as more depth and details in the extra 150 pages. The Insiders' Guide was true to the Baltimore I discovered, this City Smart guide was off-putting and off the mark.
