What to do and see in Baltimore, Maryland (MD): The Best Shopping
Since the redevelopment of the Inner Harbor in the late 1970s, Baltimore has set the standard for urban renewal. While a good part of the city's action centers around the fun and festive Harbor area, where street entertainers, open-air concerts, fireworks and parades abound, the surrounding neighborhoods offer all sorts of interesting landmarks, unique shops and delicious restaurants. Wander around Fells Point, the oldest section of Baltimore, reminiscent of an old English village, complete with pubs and cobblestone streets. Take the kids to the aquarium and check out the imaginative creations at the American Visionary Art Museum. Or stop by the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum for an in-depth look at the Great Bambino's life. Baltimore is also renowned for its African-American heritage sites, plus festivals and cultural events that take place throughout the year. From historic places and harbor cruises to family friendly attractions and fabulous neighborhoods, Charm City is one of the top tourist destinations in the United States.

Free books...what could be better? The Book Thing has thousands of books and they are all free! You are encouraged to be greedy. People from all over the Baltimore area donate the books...everything from picture books to cookbooks to fiction. There's a large selection of classics - perfect for teachers wanting to build classroom libraries or find free books for students. They provide boxes but repeat customers bring rolly bags, carts, tote bags, etc. because they know they will be taking home many treasures. The only catch - you can't resell the books. Ever. Giving them away is fine, though! Parking is iffy - plan ahead and try to get there early. There are a few spots in front of the building (where the door is) and otherwise it's street parking. Don't park in back of the building (the lot you see when you approach the building on Vineyard) because the owners will tow you instantly. The neighborhood is fine to park in. The Book Thing would not be popular (which it is, you'll see!) if it were risky to park your car nearby.
