I’d say Baltimore has an average size community of outdoorsy folks for an East Coast city of 500,000+ people.

I give kudos to Patagonia for putting their Maryland store in the city proper instead of Columbia or some other bland burb. Hopefully it will be a hub for urban outdoors people and environmental-focused events for all of central Maryland, similar to the REI in Timonium. Apparently there is community work/lounge space in this new store according to the Banner article.
