There are big name brand businesses such as Giant, Walmart, and Target, but also an immense amount of small family-owned businesses. Baltimore county is small, meaning that everyone knows everyone. It is easy to become a regular at a variety of shops that cater to different demographics. There are fresh produce markets, stores that emphasize kosher products, African markets, seafood establishments, black hair salons and hair stores around every corner, and bi-weekly free markets where people set up their own stands.

While local businesses stay around, big brand businesses keep disappearing – in fact, the city lost 2 Giants, 1 Shoppers, and 1 Rite Aid in the past 6 months. If you don’t own a car, other forms of transportation are the bus and the metro that covers the entire county. It is especially easy to reach these forms of transportation because everything is within walking distance – even some of the stores that you need to travel to are in walking distance.

Baltimore has many beautiful downtown communities. Fells Point is the place on weekend evenings, especially for younger people. It is fun to walk around and just read the names of the bars, such as The Admiral Fell In. The Little Italy neighborhood has several authentic Italian restaurants, many of which have been in business for generations. And the Inner Harbor has shopping, educational venues, and entertainment, including street performers on the weekends. You won’t be bored in Baltimore.
