About WTBH
Baltimore is one of a kind — an unpretentious blue-collar city south of the Mason-Dixon line but not quite southern; a former industrial town revitalized with a vibrant waterfront and urban life; a big city with a small town feel.
It’s a place steeped in history with its own unique quirks and culture, a city with character that celebrates characters.
Welcome To Baltimore, Hon! is a sort of virtual scrapbook intended to encourage visitors and natives to explore the city — its past and present — and find interesting activities for the whole family.
