I find it funny Philadelphia natives don't think they are similar to Baltimore at all but Baltimore natives on the other hand sort of want to be more like Philadelphia than like Baltimore. Sort of explains the big brother little brother vibe.

Grew up in Philly first eighteen years of my life, lived & worked in Baltimore next 25-plus.

They’re the same city. Anyone can’t see it just doesn’t want to.

The other nice part is that I didn’t have to change the orange & black part of my wardrobe. I may always root for the Phils, but I’ll always root for the O’s, too. And since my other area hockey choice is the Caps, I’s rather be dead than not be a Flyers fan.

We could talk ships, waterfronts, iconic locations… both cities have defining landmarks that are almost so similar, it’d seem intentional if you didn’t know it wasn’t.
