Boris Johnson coming to Baltimore
Can anyone really please tell me why this might be of interest to anyone in Baltimore? Truthfully I can only see it as a long shot ploy for the Trump wing of the Republican Party rile up the maga/ conservative base in a staunchly blue county during a midterm year (in a staunchly blue state too). Or am I reading too much into this?
It really frosts my cookies when
I see precious little turtles navigating a sea of trash by clinging to a log for dear life.
Shorty ran a BBQ fundraiser to help get Tyrone West's art in a gallery for the first time. I took pictures.
Shorty's BBQ pulled up on Harford Road last month to cook for West Wednesday. Ribs, mac, greens, all of it going out the side of his smoker right there in front of Found Studio Shop.
If you don't know, West Wednesday is the protest Tawanda Jones has been leading every single week since Baltimore police killed her brother Tyrone West in 2013. Thirteen years and still no accountability. Still showing up.
The West Coalition is raising money right now for an art exhibit opening at the Peale Museum in June. It'll feature Tyrone's own paintings (the man was a serious portrait artist) alongside work from other families who've lost people to police violence.
Huge thanks to Shorty for feeding everybody and to all the folks who came out, ate, donated, bought a shirt, or just stood there and listened.
If you missed it and want to throw in:

Justice for Tyrone.
For those of you who work "downtown" - what do you do?
There's a fair bit of office space still in active use there from what I can tell, but outside of a few obvious names, I'm not super familiar with most of these companies - certainly none of them need IT/Cybersec guys from what Indeed was giving me months back. What all goes on out there, and where do you fit into it?
ARTSCAPE weekend! Is there a schedule?
Can anyone find a schedule or program yet? I keep checking so i can plan my weekend, but nada. I feel like 'unacceptable' is too kind an adjective.
They keep throwing me ads with no information.
Gym recs for someone who has never worked out before?
Hi all. I’m looking for recommendations on what gym to go to as someone who has never really step foot in a gym before and never sticks to working out at home. For context, I’m overweight and know absolutely nothing about gyms, machines, or specific workouts.
That being said I would love someplace affordable that might also offer personal trainer trial options just to get myself going? Not really looking for a gym that has a super intense gymrat vibe either, kinda looking for a place where beginners are welcome. I was thinking planet fitness but I’ve heard mixed reviews about the one on Lombard and I’m also concerned about having to pay for parking there too.
Also point blank just want to be in a place as well where I feel safe as a young woman.
TIA!
Something falling out of the sky
Did anyone see something fall out of the sky at like 11:05pm? It was like a red blinking maybe white light. From lake montebello it was in the north west direction to the right of the moon

Help with options
Hey all. I need some quick insight.
I lost my job a month ago. Since then, I've been coordinating with my management group and sending emails and what I was doing to find a job.
I've also called around (St. Vincent 211, United Way, etc) to get help with rent payment before it got to the point I'm at now. And well, I owe rent. This is the first time I've been late, and I got a 10-day late notice yesterday. I don't know what else to do. I've been looking for work and quick gigs, but when you don't drive, you have to take the bus. And I wasn't getting any hits for things I could do.
I'm just very worried and confused. I have no place to go to. I applied for UI and such, and I've been consistently job hunting. Even looking at temp agencies.
I'm single and have no kids. Any advice is appreciated. Because I'm at a loss right now.
I am putting together a team, and I need me just two soldiers.
We can rebuild it. We have the technology... but MDOT does NOT want to spend a lot of money. Kidding aside, this would be cool as a solution to un-cluttering Fells Point and connecting it to Harbor Point, as well as improving the optics of transit in this city to kickstart larger projects. The central stop connects to the water taxi, and the two outer stops are in dense areas of new development.
Comedy Shows!
Looking for the best / good / average / whatever comedy in the area to take my wife on a date (not us in the photo). I guess including surrounding counties.
Searched and seems like this hasn't been discussed in like a decade! Thanks!

Artscape times for headliners
The whole website seems very disorganized this year. When I press "find out more," it just says 404 not found and I can't seem to find any list of when each performer will play. Does anyone know the exact schedule?

I’m looking for recommendations for a space for a book club of ten folks to meet once a month on a Sunday if possible. Are there any places in Baltimore that would let us it for free?

Marc train issue please read
Apparently someone was hit by a train no train past seabrook today. Also nothing is headed north from DC.
Just an FYI. They suggested Lyft or uber from seabrook. Or drive in to DC if you haven’t left already.
Healing to the person who was hit or their family in this time 🌻
