People from Baltimore are tough. Period. We’re proud of this fact, and here’s a list of ten reasons why Charm City residents are not only tough, but enjoy being so.
1. First of all, you have to be pretty tough to pick crabs.
And those who don't even flinch when they get Old Bay in a cut are the true heroes.
2. We know the importance of being aware of our surroundings.
We don't deny that Baltimore has crime. But we're tough enough to live here, and smart enough to know that the city has so much more to offer.
3. It's tough having to constantly defend our city.
We appreciate your concern, but Charm City is livable and it's very possible to thrive here.
4. Don't even get me started on the snowy season...
As snow plows come through, our vehicles are ultimately buried for a second time.
5. It's tough having to defend your parking spot...
See a chair? That means this spot is CLAIMED.
6. And when it comes to the grocery store before a snowstorm, you have to be aggressive, b-e-aggressive.
Or else no bread, milk, eggs, or toilet paper.
7. You need a lot of patience to deal with the daily construction.
It's tough staying this composed.
8. We stick by our teams, no matter how painful the season has been.
We're fans for life. Period.
9. We're hard working.
From small business owners, to police, to everyone in between, it take a lot of hard work to keep the city going, entertaining, and full of fun events.
10. We shake off the stereotypes.
If you're not from here, you just don't understand what makes this place feel like home.
