Great Book On Baltimore

CITY SMART: BALTIMORE is a great book about Baltimore and its surrounding suburbs, with descriptions of where the best shopping and dining are. However, because the book was written several years ago, the radio listings need to be taken like the humor in AMERICAN WEDDING, SABRINA, THE TEENAGE WITCH, DRIVE ME CRAZY, SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER, 13 GOING ON 30, DATE MOVIE, HARVARD MAN, and the two GARFIELD MOVIES featuring Jennifer Love Hewitt. This is a minor quibble, though, because this is an excellent book for anyone interested in the Mid-Atlantic states.

Tells it like it is

The thing I like about this guidebook is its honesty. I've lived in Baltimore all my life and I recognize my city in this book's pages. It's genuinely entertaining and exposes a few warts as well as the good stuff. Plus, it has top 10 lists from Gov. Shaefer and from John Steadman, my all-time favorite Baltimore sportswriter.

Sugarman, a surname that says it all...

This guide is sweet!Again Joe Sugarman, in a light and appropriate tone for a city guide, points out the best in town... If you want to visit Baltimore without fear of loosing time and wasting money walking in circles: read this guide.Read it and you will enjoy Baltimore; loose it and you will not be aware of the beauties you're loosing in this marvellous city.This guide might not be the *most* extensive, but all the info that has been packed in it is selected: I don't want to see everything there is to see - I want to see the *best* there is to see!

Great city, great guide

A comprehensive guidebook of all the wonderful things to do in Charm. A well researched, well written guide that will not leave the user with any loss for activities to do, see and experience while in Baltimore. Hopefully, Sugarman will live in every city around the world and keep us abreast of all the attractions within each one.
