What do you recommend? Like encapsulating paint?

Yeah my HVAC guy came to service and he smelled a little smoke. He took out the HVAC filter and noticed it was yellow. He was like “yeah they’re smoking in the house…”

>You’re now moving into moving goalpost territory. We weren’t talking about food deserts. You went on some BS rant and I called you out on the plot holes in your narrative. You then tried moving goalposts and gaslighting. So that where the confusion came from. Below I’ve copied and pasted your direct quote to help with your confusion:

I'm not the one confused or ranting, but I'm sure you do fancy yourself as having "called out" something. The goalposts haven't moved; keep up. I cited weak economic policy and population loss as factors in Baltimore's relative lack of amenities, and simply used the food sector (i.e., restaurants and grocery stores) as an example, given the title/theme of this thread. Accordingly, food deserts are an indicator of the availability of grocery stores (again, one of the amenities that I originally cited), as the most common outlet for fresh food, though of course one can have other options.

In raw numbers, the city is shrinking on account of a mass exodus of low income residents. There's ample civic discussion about the ongoing loss of residents, as I'm sure you're aware. The population was lower in 2020 than in 2010, and lower in 2021 than in 2020. Since 2010, there's been a negligible (1%) increase in # of households on account of single, higher-income new residents moving in. Ideally, many of the people who are leaving would be able to stay and contribute to the city growing (in terms of both raw numbers and households), assuming they saw some measure of value in remaining in the city, which isn't the case at the moment.

"exploitation"? lol

My husband and I just moved here from nyc and it still feels quite foreign here. affordability is a huge thing but we can’t quite get used to how happy everyone seems and people saying hi to us on the street 😵‍💫 so far we like movies at the Charles and just found a nyc style deli (Attman’s) that looks promising. Good luck to ya!

so true. they want you to watch those '90's dvd's they keep playing...is it the techie-kids school movie with George Lopez "Spare Parts" for the 80th time? ...Fighting Lions...? I could go on...

Be safe as well. I went this whole time Covid-free. went to jury duty in September this year, got Covid. I had a mask/shots and all... smh.

Good Guys Pizza, it's right there on Hooks Ln

Yeah you may need to repaint everything starting with an odor-treating/sealing primer coat. Really depends on how bad it is.

Cigarette smoke can accumulate in the filters and vents. Simply saying that you will want to consider that in your treatment plan as well. If you end up with an ozone machine, consider running the HVAC as well during treatment and changing the filters.

dunno what 5G you're getting, because mine has been just as slow as regular cell service!

do not under any circumstances tell anyone you know what it is, otherwise you'll be immediately disqualified. that's the kind of info you keep zipped until it's time to actually use it

We live downtown, and it’s much easier to walk places. I take my car out maybe once a week, more often in the spring/summer to take my dogs on hikes outside the city. But yeah, definitely doesn’t compare (at all) to public transportation in NYC.

Yes it'll get rid of the smell temporarily for 6mo or even a year. But tobacco gets into the pores of everything and the more dense the material, the deeper it seeps into it. So it will eventually start to release again and bring the smell back.

Dr. Amir Moinfar (Glen Burnie) has surgically repaired both of my shoulders (complete tears of rotator cuff) & the shoulders of my former spouse (heavyweight bodybuilder).

We can't say enough good things about his knowledge, skill and approach to fixing our worn out parts.

Yep, moved here from Manhattan in April and am very happy with the change (not to mention, the rent!) :D

I have jury duty tomorrow and was wondering if knowing what that is disqualifies me from being a juror.

I thought I was being smart getting Thai for lunch during jury duty but this man is next level.

I also find it quite amusing that you need to create an account to use the WiFi and they send your password to your email address.

You need to check your email. Before you can get internet access.

I mean, I get that most people can get their email on their phones, but still, give me a friggin break.

That's a 100% raise. Good luck getting that at your regular job!

Moved back to Baltimore a year ago after being in NYC for 5 years.

I hate to not answer your question, but here’s a suggestion: try to enjoy things that are unique to Baltimore that you can’t really do/get in NYC. If you’re trying to do things you loved in NYC, you’ll be disappointed since you can get the subway, good pizza, bagels etc. anywhere else tbqh lol.

Try to enjoy the seafood, cheap drinks, chatting with and actually knowing your neighbors, ease of travel to nearby hikes/actual nature, restaurants/venues/art spaces with actual diversity of class, the easygoing slower pace of life lol. Stuff like that.

Luckily for me, I still know people in NYC, so I can go back and eat some awesome pizza and bagels and pay $20 for a cocktail haha.

Hope this helped :)

There was Nam Kang, Korean spot open till 5am… but Covid took them out.

Can’t find ATMs anymore due to criminal assholes and soon it’s going to be Lyft/Uber rides that are in short supply too due to criminal assholes

Your favorite late night server here, Covid killed late night. Never coming back.
