TLO Travelogue: Baltimore (Charm City)

10:36 AM EDT on May 26, 2026

I love Oklahoma, but, truthfully, there are times when parts of it can be too much... for example, Kevin Stitt. Ugh.

Whenever I feel this way, I tell the boss I’m checking out, cashing in some frequent flyer miles, and traveling to another place and time. And, with a looming David Byrne concert on the horizon, my wife and I took two tickets to paradise or, as it’s commonly referred to, Baltimore.

Nicknamed Charm City by the locals, Baltimore is one of my favorite places I’ve ever visited. Much like an Oklahoma City Tulsa-by-the-sea, it’s a world of wild characters, expressive art, endless things to do and, most importantly for my line of work, all the seafood dishes our landlocked home simply cannot offer.
