Finally, I know something about Baltimore that I didn’t get from The Wire! Adventures in Baltimore Restaurants is a high volume restaurant review and food news blog in Baltimore. The posts are thorough and frequent so you can get a lot of information fast and visit them frequently for updates. AND…since they put up a StoryMap, you can quickly access reviews about restaurants in the Baltimore area you care about. Just like any Wire watching foodie might expect, there are lots of orange pins around the Inner Harbor and scarcely any in West Baltimore.
Reading Local has caught a niche that is occupied in few cities and is particularly well-suited to Portland, OR: Book News. It does an excellent job of tracking book-related events in Portland, such as a post including outside.in’s own Steven Johnson reading from his new book, The Invention of Air, at Powell’s City of Books. Want to know what’s happening at your local bookstore? Click on its pin on the StoryMap and you’ll see everything Reading Local has written about it.
Remind me to start a blog about great places to read books over dinner.
