Life Adventure In Baltimore Live in Baltimore “Downtown Baltimore is the fastestgrowing residential area in the city, and housing choices range from row houses to high-rise apartments. Families can walk to cultural attractions like the National Aquarium, spending less time in the car and more time doing what they want. Young professionals want to live in a dynamic urban core, and empty nesters love being able to live near the water and walk to restaurants and theaters. Where else can you kayak across the harbor to and from your job? This is a sophisticated but unpretentious big city where people are hospitable and the quality of life is superb. Sure, we cure disease, make movies, and broker milliondollar business deals here, but we’ll also buy you a cold one at the ballpark and tell you where to find the best neighborhood bistro.” —Kirby Fowler President Downtown Partnership of Baltimore “BWI is a convenient airport that offers excellent amenities to travelers. We provide major interstate access and affordable parking, along with easy, direct rail transit to both Baltimore and downtown Washington, D.C. The airport is in the midst of a major terminal enhancement program, expected to be complete this fall, which includes an expanded security checkpoint and new food and retail space. We strive to offer a high level of service to our customers and are working to ensure BWI remains the ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’ airport for this region.” —Paul J.
