Submit Your B-Side Story

Much like the "B-Side" of an album, Baltimore has deeper, undiscovered tracks waiting to be heard. We invite you to turn over the surface-level narrative and listen to the stories too often overlooked by sharing YOUR positive Baltimore story — moments that reveal the heart of the city, counter the narrative so often heard on the local news and showcase what makes Baltimore unforgettable. Stories that shift perspectives, spark pride and celebrate the city we know and love.

Don't know where to start? Here are some ideas:
  • Tell us about an experience that filled you with pride for this city and its people.
  • Highlight an interaction that made you feel seen, welcomed and part of something bigger.
  • When others challenge what they think they know about this great city, what story do you share to change the narrative?
  • Share an experience that made you fall even more in love with Baltimore — its grit, its heart, its authenticity.
