As a hobbyist, I enjoy #personalwebsites and the #indieweb , I'm learning #sewing and #quilting, and loving #gardening here in #Baltimore . I keep #plantedtanks and #fish

Professionally, I work in #education and #printmaking with a focus on #letterpress - but I don't post my #art here

Fedi folks of #Baltimore I want your thoughts and opinions!
One of my peeps is traveling to Baltimore for work and loves to explore cities.

- What are some of _your_ favorite parts of the city? This doesn't have to be anything with more general appeal, but something you like personally.
- What are some quirks of local culture that you love about the area?
- What are some things you wish were improved about the city?

Then a couple of more advisory questions:

- What are some places you'd recommend for a femme presenting queer person to visit or check out?
- What are some things they should be aware of while exploring that are specific to Baltimore?
