About Baltimore
Maryland's largest city, a major Atlantic seaport at the head of Chesapeake Bay. Close enough to Washington to share its traffic, distinct enough to keep its own industrial character.
Population about 2,710,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Baltimore is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
