Baltimore City

Advantages: Great expensive food,area are easy to access
Disadvantages: Some areas are dangerous

...location Baltimore is a small city located in the state of Maryland in the north east part of the United States.It is close to the Washington DC metropolitan area and from Silver Spring MD it is about a 45 minute drive.If you are arriving by air there is BWI(Baltimore Washington International Airport)which would get you close to the city. Getting around The city has a metro bus service that would get you into most places but you need to know the bus schedule.You can try taking a cab but cab fares are expensive in most US cities and Baltimore is not an exception.If you can get hold of a car then you would be in great shape.Parking can be a challenge so be very careful where you place your car.You can get paid parking( especially when there are public events) for about $5-6 for the whole day. Attractions If you get anywhere...

Review of Baltimore

Baltimore

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Baltimore is, what I believe, a super company, well placed to gain optimum growth from the internet revolution. Internet traffic is doubling evry 100 days, and with and increasing number of transcations occuring, baltimore's e-security products will no doubt be in great demand. The company, based in Ireland, has just secured a large deal with Visa and recent results have just shown that the company is in healthy shape and well on the way to profitability. However, investing in this stock is a roller coaster ride. By its nature and the sector, it is highly volatile and I would recommend a long term (1 year plus ) outlook....

"My Tooth Ith Looth"

Advantages: Some stuff to do
Disadvantages: Attitude of locals and general town layout

...Baltimore is not an exotic place. It?s not the type of place most people would cross an ocean or even a country to visit. It is, however, the place I?m living at the moment and so, for now, it is home. I chose the job rather than the location, and I?m loving the fact that at the moment they are paying me handsomely to sit at my desk and write all day, but Baltimore itself is still taking some getting used to. For those who don?t know (and until I got this job I fell into that group), Baltimore is a city in Maryland, and Maryland is a state on the east coast of the United States, surrounded by Delaware (as Elle Woods would say: ?No sales tax!?), Virginia, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. Baltimore is perhaps the most well known place in the state, though Annapolis, some distance to the south, is the state capital. Chesapeake bay...

Sex and the City

Advantages: funny, great performance
Disadvantages: long

...I read so many exciting reviews on Sex and the City that I decided I watch it. It is a real chick flick romantic comedy and that evening it was the perfect entertainment for me. The film was written and directed by Michael Patrick King. Actually he was the co-producer of the film as well with Sarah Jessica Parker and Darren Star. Michael Patrick King is an American film director and screenplay writer. Besides Sex and the City he wrote the screenplay of Will & Grace, Cybill and Murphy Brown. The film was released on 30 May 2008. The running time is 145 minutes and the classification is 15 years and older due to nudity, sexual content and strong language. Main cast: -------------- Sarah Jessica Parker ? Carrie Bradshaw Kim Cattrall ? Samantha Jones Kristin Davis ? Charlotte York Goldenblatt Cynthia Nixon ? Miranda Hobbes Chris Noth...

Balti-less

Advantages: erm... Inner Harbor with good aquarium?
Disadvantages: See above, numerous

...If I had to choose anywhere in the US to go, it wouldn't be here. I had to go to Baltimore for work to present at a conference, otherwise I wouldn't have gone. The conference was from 6-11 May and I'd planned for a couple of days in DC, so this is based on my experiences in Baltimore. I reached Baltimore's Mount Vernon district (to the north of the Inner Harbor, the touristy part) via taxi from the airport. I'd gone through some rather rought looking areas to get there. The area I was in seemed okay and after unpacking, I'd headed out to get some drinks as I was very dehyrated. I believe I then saw the real Baltimore. Nicknamed 'Charm City', I didn't see much in the way of charm but rather a lot in the way of racism. There were advertisements on the street for resturaunts and scrawled over them was "Smile! White is...

a surprising city

Advantages: a few gems - worth a short visit
Disadvantages: after a few days you may be struggling

...Kansas City is not the first city that would spring to mind for a city break, you may even be hard pushed to find it on the map and even more surprised to find that it is actually in the state of Missouri and not Kansas. However an American Travel organisation has recently named it as one of the top ten overlooked cities and while it most certainly is not like a new york or san francisco there are some gems to be had in this city. It is often nicknamed as the city of fountains as there are seemingly over 200 in the city and who knew that Kansas City is the BBQ capital of the world. And boy do they do BBQ restaurants, never being one to miss out on a speciality i paid a visit to a recommended BBQ restaurant Jack Stack Barbecue, one of 4 in downtown Kansas City. I have to admit the food was pretty good, great beef, pork and chicken...

Lego City 7686 - 3 for the price of 1 -

Advantages: Cost, Design, Look, Fun Factor
Disadvantages: None So Far

...Lego City 7686 As many people will be aware Lego has a huge selection of sets available to buy, my now 6 year old son has fallen in to the City range. The range is very extensive and prices range from as little as a few pounds for a simple set to the rather upmarket sets which cost a few hundred pounds. This set sits nicely in the middle of the set when you compare the amount of pieces, value for money and the overall design of the product. I am reviewing Lego City 7686 which is Helicopter Transporter Just like I add to all my Lego reviews, if you want to read any of the history of the Lego Company I have included there link at the bottom of this review for you. Assembling the products Firstly this particular set is aimed at the age range of 5yrs ? 12yrs, the box is a fair size and your little one will struggle to...

Sex and the City the Movie

Advantages: Great fashion, good story
Disadvantages: A bit cheesy

...Which film was called "Brilliant" by Cosmopolitan and "Fabulous" by Glamour? It's the Sex and the City Movie of course. Yes, four years after the New York ladies left our lives they're back and are more stylish and sexy than ever. Let me start by saying that I did actually like the movie as I know there are various opinions out there. I did like the series but I was not a die hard fan and maybe that's the difference as I have heard that some die hard fans were not 100% impressed. I always felt that the show itself was quite edgy and on the cutting edge but I thought the movie was actually quite cheesy. It was almost as if they were making fun of themselves and really playing up to their stereotypes and being quite ironic about it. That said, I thought this worked as a concept too and didn't take away from my enjoyment of the film...

City of Ember Smoulders Without Really Catching Light

Advantages: A fun, well told family adventure
Disadvantages: Underdeveloped characters. Understated ending.

...INTRODUCTION Every now and again a film will kind of sneak up on you and take you completely by surprise. I knew my wife had wanted to see ?City of Ember? at the cinema, but I had taken one look at the trailer and dismissed it out of hand. However, when it made a recent appearance on the Sky Movies schedule, I relented, thinking that, without the added investment of having to buy cinema tickets, a bucket of popcorn and perhaps more importantly, using up a rare night out, I could always fall asleep on the couch if I wanted to. SYNOPSIS The film starts out with a flashback to a time when the fate of mankind is in the balance. An unidentified catastrophe is soon to make the earth uninhabitable, so a group of scientists (American obviously ? they?re always American) create an underground city, called Ember, to which...

Review of The City Of Ember

Miss Baltimore Crabs

Advantages: Great song and dance numbers performed by an enthusiastic cast.
Disadvantages: A lack of character development and emotional depth.

...It's 1962 and all Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad wants is to appear on the "Corny Collins Show". But can a chubby girl from the wrong side of the tracks really make it onto TV? And if she does, will she be able to win the heart of local hunk Link Larkin and steal him away from his mean girlfriend Amber along with the title of "Miss Teen Hairspray"? And more importantly, can she challenge racial segregation on the local TV station and win the right for everyone to dance together regardless of the colour of their skin? Choreographer-turned-director Adam Shankman has finally found his niche with this upbeat film musical. Previously having helmed dreadful family fare such as "The Pacifier" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2", I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of his latest offering. He's a guy who clearly loves musical theatre...
