recs now based on recent experience - skip teh aquarium. obv. - it might be good, but an aquarium is an aquarium, and for the same price you can go to the AVAM and take a water taxi, which are much more distinctive (likewise, the Greek/Roman/Egyptian stuff at the Walters, which is free, is v good, but you can see that stuff elsewhere too). instead, go directly do not pass go to the AVAM, where the current exhibit has some great stuff. i'd say at least 1.5-2 hours. i spent twice that, including in the store. definitely play with the music box on the first floor and also the audio thing downstairs near the bathrooms (and check out the bathroom entrance on the third floor, which has the least interesting stuff). you can do water taxis out to Fells late in the day when stuff is closing and it isn't as hot out and it's beer time.

[i learned a long time ago not to look strangers up and down on the mean streets of Baltimore
theoretically yr not supposed to do that in ny either (tho the streets in most parts of the city are hardly mean these days); i do it all the time. ppl seemed to acknowledge one another more than in ny tho - i don't know if that'a a southern thing as much as it's a "small"-town thing.
"race and class," bro

― Mr. Que, Sunday, 24 May 2009 15:31 (seventeen years ago)
there's no gate where i live, and just because you happen to have been there does not exactly give you the right to talk about it--i will kindly ask you to leave personal shit out of this

(for what it's worth i'm very sorry i contributed to the ruining of the baltimore thread. i was just trying to understand some things, things that remain best unexplained i guess. i jumped to conclusions.)
