I grew up in Bethesda, MD and for personal reasons would like to get back there. Some of our early adopters are likely to be DC based lawyers and we were considering setting up shop near DC but we also want a supportive entrepreneurial environment. You may have solved that for us.

Baltimore is a great city for this. Close to DC, access to NYC and Boston, lower cost of living, enjoyable place to live, some great schools near by.

this is music to my ears! We actually have a very vibrant innovation/startup community in Baltimore. Check out our Facebook Group to get a quick firehose: https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_160612380624897&#...

Also check out http://startupbaltimore.org/, http://www.baltimorehackathon.com/, and the http://baltimore.startupweekend.org/

I shall definitely check out the last three links. I'll look at the FB group but I, unfortunately, use FB only for personal stuff and am very disinclined to mix my professional and personal life on FB. Just me, not a critique of you!

it's a fair critique and you aren't the first to mention it. But I will say it's vastly accelerated the exchange of ideas and feeling of community in Baltimore so overall it's a net win. There's also a network of twitter accounts to follow if that's more your taste (@startupbmore @ignitebaltimore @bmorehackathon @startupdigestmd @bootstrapmd @innovatebmore etc etc)
