Has anyone in a classic rowhome done a little raised front patio/porch? Our deck gets scorching hot and we’d like a small outdoor area to drink coffee/chill in the morning.
It wouldn’t go out any further than our stairs currently so I don’t think we’d run into permitting issues. Anyone done this? Featuring a random rowhome I’ve screenshotted from Google.
The cherry blossoms on Friday 4/3/26 were just lovely. Try and get over there if you can. However, be mindful that gates close promptly at 5pm, and the park rangers strictly enforce this.
I’m a transplant from Philly but have been here for a minute. I married a Baltimore native, and I live in the city and have done all the stuff. Yet, never had or even heard of the Baltimore glizzy until recently.
I just made some. We crushed. Obviously delicious.
But who here has these as staples or part of their lives? I’m fascinated by this and want all the stories. Including if you’re like: wtf is even that?
Grilled kosher all beef hotdogs, wrapped in fried bologna, then I lightly grilled the potato buns and ate with yellow mustard.
I know they have them at Attman’s.
this feels like their partial answer to last years fatal shooting or a woman in 'emotional distress' city council has been harping on. they want thr health department and BHSB to improve their mental health services, especially after the murder/fatal shooting of an woman in crisis last year.
I dont think this is a solution. Why should someone have a special keyhain for officers to consider de-escalating vs shooting. not to mention a database of marginalized people feels like a slippery slope and a great thing to be abused.
(p.s. I know this program is going to be helpful to some. Im just naming what me other neurodivergent people with marginalized identities and I have been talking about in reaction to this news.
p.p.s. who came up with a blue button fidget toy being the indicator that someone is autistic, I would have loved to be in that brainstorm meeting)
the only good thing is that its a voluntary process (for now. feels like a trial run before making it voluntary)
"In recognition of World Autism Acceptance Month and World Autism Awareness Day on April 2, the Baltimore Police Department (BPD) is proud to launch a new initiative designed to better support neurodivergent individuals and enhance safe, effective interactions with law enforcement.
BPD’s Community Partnerships Unit is introducing a Neurodivergent Individuals Database, a voluntary program that allows individuals or caregivers to securely share important information with the Department. Participants who enroll in the program are provided with a tactile keychain featuring a unique identification number. If an officer encounters an individual who may be in distress, has eloped, or a family member that requires assistance, the keychain allows officers to quickly access critical information through the secure database."
I did some googling for us all💜
TLDR; he can't seem to stick to any of his campaign beliefs. He was a CIA op. And he was convicted of Financial Fraud.
This weirdos signs have started poppin up everywhere around where I live. His signs and website appear to be very "neutral" with its politics. I couldn't see anywhere he officially declared Republican, Democrat, or Other. I had to go through more links to find out he was a long time Dem who switched Rep during Trump's second campaign (cringe behavior).
also his Wikipedia page cites some wild involvement with the CIA 🤨
"Around 2014-2015, Hale disclosed that he worked covertly for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for nearly a decade during the 1990s and early 2000s. He stated that he allowed the CIA to create a fictitious company under his corporate umbrella to be used as cover for field operatives. According to Hale, he spoke with a CIA handler between 30 and 50 times per year and traveled to several countries, including Saudi Arabia, Poland, Denmark, and Norway, reporting economic conditions to the agency upon his return. He also claimed involvement in a canceled operation in Georgia in 1998 concerning the purchase of ships for intelligence purposes. Hale revealed that he played a role in the CIA’s early search for Osama bin Laden by facilitating covert agent deployments across Central Asia. Hale says his role with the CIA ended after the September 11 attacks."
he also wants to give MORE funding to Baltimore (bc it's just so dang crime riddles, surely the police will help, ya know?? I mean they have been so dang helpful!!!/s). it's not shocking considering his previous involvement with the CIA.
he mentions throughout his website how he wants to bring businesses back to Baltimore, yet several businesses he was the majority shareholder of were sold off to out of state entities. Re: Mariner Bancorp and Bank Of Baltimore.
He has also been convicted of financial fraud in regards to how he divorced his wife. (Not very reputable behavior, dudebro)
He also said he would run as a Democrat and then switched to Republican...
I was walking home from the station when I found this small kitten/cat under a car. I brought it inside and I’m gonna ask around my neighborhood in the morning to see if someone lost their cat. Also it’s collar does not have a name tags on it
(Lost car pictured above )
Hey everyone,
Does any one know of any tennis courts that currently have a tennis wall for practicing against.
For years Druid Hill had one one the bottom tennis courts(by the pool) but as of two weeks ago it was gone. Not sure when they got rid of it.
I drove down to CCBC Catonsville because AI said there was a large practice wall. But I didn’t see it.
AI also said they had 16 tennis courts, so yeah the mat was false unless I’m missing a whole section of that campus. So that data is wrong and out of date apparently.
I live close to Dulaney High, but the track and courts are gone with them rebuilding the school.
Anyway does anyone know of any public courts currently has a practice wall Baltimore County - Baltimore City area?
We will have a pay what you can show afterwards where all proceeds go directly to the performers, and some vending during that time as well but we suggest you come out early to check everything out!! We'll have two locations with a TON OF AMAZING vendors
My partner and I (mid-20s) are trying to narrow down neighborhoods for a move in the next 2-3 months, and could use some feedback.
I work downtown, and my partner's field does a lot of work (mostly) around the inner harbor, (sometimes) the eastern shore/Annapolis, and (not very often) the DC area. We would love to be in a more walkable neighborhood, and close to the action & public transit options, but not necessarily "in the action", as my partner is a bit more introverted/sensitive to lots of commotion and noise. I WFH 1-2 times a week, and am not sure if a 2-bed is cost-effective compared to a 1-bed in the city. We both have cars and don't mind street parking.
I'm open to any advice. Also, we would appreciate being in proximity (driving or otherwise) to good gyms in the area! Cheers, and go O's!
Does anyone know what’s going on with the CVS on St. Paul? It says that it is temporarily closed when you call.
I’m in a good mood l and just wanted to share some of that energy here.
There’s something so special about the way people in this city connect. We gathered to celebrate Pi Day, the happiest of holidays.
The was only half the story (although I could really write 1000 words about the lemon stick pie I tried because I miss it dearly).
The real magic was seeing a room full of neighbor, some who have lived here for decades and some who just moved in, sitting down to talk. No matter what is going on in the world, that energy where a table of strangers become friends, all over some dessert, is why we organize these events.
A huge thank you to everyone who brought a dish, shared a story, or just brought their good energy to the table. This city can be tough, but the people making things happen in the neighborhoods and at the local markets make it so worth it.
Our tables are ready for you to join us!

I moved to Baltimore recently and my dog is missing her dog friends pretty badly :( Does anyone have recommendations for free events, dog meetups, or places where I can take her to get some off-leash socialization?
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for volleyball lessons for myself AND my niece (pre-teen).
We want to do the lessons together and not really interested in tournaments or anything like that. We just want to learn the skills and techniques together.
Does anyone have recommendations around Baltimore city or county of a coach or place that offer such type of lessons?
Thank you
M23: I got into calisthenics about a year ago. Just looking for any bros who are down to share the journey. Also, right now workout at a gym (stuck in a year contract smh), but if anyone knows parks near the Owings Mills area I'd appreciate it.
I’ve never taken the water taxi before and want to take some friends on a little ride from fells point this weekend just so they can experience it. Is there a good stop from Fowles point where we can get off and have a drink or some bites? Open to any neighborhoods or ideas just want to be able to experience the taxi since it’s gonna be so nice tomorrow. I have downloaded the app and everything. Thanks in advance.
On Easter Sunday I have my parents coming into town. Does anyone know of a good casual restaurant that will be open? Not looking for a big special Easter dinner at all, we aren’t religious and I just want to take them somewhere relaxed
I’m looking for a music store that has a demo drum kit that my partner would be able to sit down and play for a bit. He’s left handed so will need to tweak the setup somewhat. I’d be more than happy to make a small purchase for the trouble (not a kit this time sadly!)
I live in Australia and have never seen him play the drums before, and he’s not in a situation where he can keep a kit right now. I’m traveling all the way there in June and would love to finally make this happen, it would make me so happy!
Towson area or not too far preferred :)
Does anyone know where I could find Simpsons die hards in Baltimore? Bill Oakley is coming to the Mobtown Ballroom in a week and a half. We are on our way to selling out, and I'm afraid I haven't tried hard enough to get the word out to the fans outside of our usual orbit!
