"In these days of growing gridlock and sky-high gas prices, nearly 18,000 Baltimore workers travel to their jobs each day the old-fashioned way: They walk... That's far more than in any other jurisdiction in the state, according to the U.S. Census Bureau - making walking to work a distinctly, if not uniquely, urban phenomenon...
