We've highlighted some of Baltimore's best attractions, from natural wonders to amazing architecture. And although we're cheerleaders for this great city, we can't hide the fact that Baltimore has quite the reputation. While some areas constantly receive the spotlight, the cities' dangerous areas remain hidden and almost unspeakable to some.

The following video by Youtube user, Stock Board Asset, gives us a morbid glimpse of Baltimore's most violent areas. It's a grim reminder of how disconnected the city truly is.

The number of Baltimore homicides are so outrageous, that The Baltimore Sun even has a daily homicides tracker. As I'm writing this (near the end of July), the total number of murders (so far) for 2017 is just under 200. Only time will tell if this will be another record year.

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.

Okay, don't get mad, but we're kind of ready for snow. Sure, wintry conditions has its annoyances, but there's nothing quite as magical as the first snow of the season.

We've shared drone footage of Baltimore before, but the below video is especially intriguing because it shows Charm City just after snowfall. See how delicately the snow lays on Baltimore's historic buildings and marvel at the frozen water. It all brings a quietness to the city that we don't often see.
