Get acquainted with the Shipping Barons

Baltimore’s geographical location has vastly contributed to its pre-eminence in the shipping industry. Located on the Patapsco River where it empties into the Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore has developed into the largest US seaport in the Mid-Atlantic. Another advantage for the shipping business emanates from city’s proximity to major Midwestern markets as compared to any other seaport on the East Coast. As a result of its thriving shipping business, Baltimore is home to owners of several shipping and transport companies as well as to marine engineers, managers and other related highly-skilled professionals. Most of the older offices and shipping haunts were earlier located in the Inner Harbor area which today is also an iconic landmark as well as a major cultural attraction. So while browsing through the cafes, bars and boutiques along the Inner Harbor, you just might run into a guy who is both single and successful.

High-end Retail addresses

In recent years, retail has emerged as one of the significant components of Baltimore’s economy. The city is home to several swanky shopping districts many of which include high-end brands and as such attract the rich shoppers from and around the city. In fact Baltimore was ranked as the “third best place to shop in the US” in 20101  by Forbes Magazine, coming after only Houston and Dallas and before such well-known shopping destinations as New York City and Los Angeles. Baltimore is home to 9,536 retail locations and 21 shopping centers, according to Forbes. Among the best known retail addresses in the town are the Fell’s Point, Harborplace and East Harbor which have been turned from earlier port locations into an upscale shopping and recreational destinations.

However it is Cross Keyes near Mount Washington where you should go when you want to bump into the really rich shoppers including guys. The village of Cross Keyes features luxury labels like Talbots and Williams-Sonoma where you can find wealthy singles picking up a designer suit or a gourmet ingredient. You also stand a chance of meeting a wealthy connoisseur at one of the quaint stores along Antique Row since the rich have resources to spend on rare collections and expensive hobbies.

Mingle with the Aristocracy

Apart from row houses and marble steps, Baltimore is also known as one of the last few haunts of “old-money families”. Much of Baltimore's wealth comes from families that have been involved in the city's banking, brokerage and real estate industries for more than half a century. One reason why this section of Baltimore’s affluent residents is not easily seen is because of their love for privacy and exclusivity. And while in recent years the city has received some runoff of wealthy individuals originally from the Washington metropolitan area, especially in the technology sector, in the long run it has been successful in nurturing its own prosperity with several of the old wealthy families being able to keep their wealth from generation to generation. However you may not meet many eligible single men from these old families at your neighborhood pub or bar, but you do stand a better chance by frequenting exclusive clubs like the Elkridge Club or the Maryland Club.

Frequent Wealthy Neighborhoods

One of the most effective ways to meet rich singles is to be part of their landscape. This means living in or at least frequenting cafes and parks in affluent neighborhoods so that you become a familiar face for its upper class residents. In Baltimore some of the residential areas with the highest real estate are downtown city, Mount Vernon, Canton, Charles Village, Hampden, Canterbury-Tuscany, Woodberry, Roland Park, and Mount Washington.
