Okay, I will totally admit that I am extremely biased towards my home town of Baltimore, Maryland, as a place for folks to visit. Each and every time I go back to the place that I'll always consider home is an extremely emotional and truly joyous event for me.� Much of my family has, sadly, �passed away, but my mother still lives in the concrete Cape Cod style bungalow in which I was raised for the first nineteen years of my life.
