SOMETIMES WE WISH we could distribute the Best of Baltimore issue around the country. You see, despite outside perception, Baltimore really is an incredibly dynamic, creative, and cool town and we want to spread the word about it. Celebrating all things Baltimore is what we do in this annual issue. (It’s kind of our deal, in general.) That’s why this year we included an “Only in Baltimore” designation—these are winners you couldn’t possibly find anywhere else. Come to think of it, maybe there are some things we want to keep to ourselves.
In honor of Best of Baltimore's 50th anniversary, we combed our archives. Some of these issues were admittedly cringe, others snarky and hilarious, and all reminders of why we love this city so much, then and now.
From a stellar Substack to a nationally recognized investigative series, here's what stood out to us in local news and media this year.
