About Baltimore

Camden Yards, opened 1992, invented the modern "retro-classic" ballpark template -- exposed brick, the old B&O Warehouse standing beyond right field, an urban infill site instead of a suburban parking lot -- that nearly every MLB park built since has copied. The Inner Harbor did something similar for downtown redevelopment a decade earlier, turning a derelict industrial waterfront into a template other Rust Belt cities tried to copy. Johns Hopkins anchors a biotech cluster that rarely gets Boston-or-Bay-Area attention despite real depth, with Towson University rounding out the region's research and talent base alongside homegrown global companies like T. Rowe Price and Under Armour.
