What are you most looking forward to in spring? For us (other than warm weather), it's most definitely Baltimore's Light City. This annual event takes place each April, and it's a surreal and beautiful sight against the darkness of night. We found footage from Youtube user Heights and Horizons of this event from 2016.

The video features classic Charm City buildings illuminated with color...
