Sure, Baltimore has the Inner Harbor and the Orioles but he forgot to mention that Baltimore has THE BLOCK (red light district).
Years ago, the police department ran a year-long sting to clean up the block and blew it because the undercover officers spent the city's money buying expensive gifts for the strippers and fucking them. The judge threw all the cases out.
Fortunately, everyone came to their senses:

And a more marketable Block is a boon for Baltimore, says City Council member Nicholas D'Adamo, a Democrat whose 1st District includes the Block and many other adult-entertainment venues.
"Let's be honest," asserts D'Adamo, who acknowledges that he patronizes Block establishments now and again. "Is it a plus for the city of Baltimore? I think it is. I think for out-of-towners to come to the city, it could be a stop on their agenda if they're staying downtown." He further maintains that Block businesses employ some 1,000 workers and should be recognized as job-providers.
