Baltimore Extras
Sacrificing the ultimate abroad, nothing at home and everything for fashion. Who's AWOL? We traveled to Maryland for a fashion shoot that's more than military gear.

Restaurants, shops and fun abound in Maryland's largest city. The tall downtown buildings form an impressive skyline over a newly restored and dynamic waterfront. The Inner Harbor is quickly becoming one of America's hottest travel destinations, boasting major attractions such as the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center, Camden Yards Stadium Complex, and the Baltimore Maritime Museum. On top of all these exciting things to do and see, Harborplace and the Gallery at Harborplace feature over 100 unique shops and more than 50 eateries and restaurants.
Baltimore has a rich historic past with many picturesque areas which have changed little since the 19th century. The first settlers arrived in 1661, and it was later the home of Fort McHenry. While under the siege of the British during the War of 1812, the fort served as the inspiration for our national anthem by Francis Scott Key. Baltimore also retains the honor of completing the first major monument in memory of George Washington.
Enhancing Baltimore's historic charm are many recreational areas such as Druid Hill Park with its 574 acres and the Baltimore Zoo. To the east of the city, ethnically diverse Fells Point and newly redeveloped Canton are must see areas with cultural activities, and a growing gay and lesbian community serviced by many exciting restaurants, bars, nightclubs, inns and shops.

Official 2012 dates TBA...
As one of the oldest Pride events in the country, Baltimore Pride has celebrated the diversity of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community in Maryland and throughout the mid-Atlantic for over 30 years. Baltimore Pride is recognized as the premier GLBT event in Maryland. The parade and block party are held in Mount Vernon, one of the most historic areas in the city and the center of GLBT activity in Baltimore. The festival takes place alongside the beautiful Druid Hill Lake and provides a gorgeous environment for the festivities.
This Chesapeake Pride Festival promises to be the best one yet. This year, we are "at the beach" on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Join us for a day of fun, friends, food, drink and GREAT entertainment including our annual drag show, plus a couple of other surprises.
