UGH I already keep my thermostat at 60, lights off during the day when I'm home, minimal light usage at night, etc.

Reply to Anyone else in Hampden not have water today? by Noah8769
The problem could be between the water line on the road and your house... but outside. Fingers crossed for you!

Well, I saw people's trash cans flying down the street.

I have friends in Morrell Park who haven’t had water since last night, water main break. Some of their neighbors have water, some don’t. That’s in the southwest part of the city.

Head of neurosurgery at Hopkins, I believe his name is McArthur. He got my friend from mostly paralyzed to walking after her previous surgeon botched a fairly routine surgery.

For driving to baltimore, union market. Its right off of new york avenue which gets you onto 295. It has a red line metro. I work in DC and my experience has been union market is the best part of DC for getting to and from Baltimore.

You can definitely have frozen pipes with heat and power, they are totally unrelated. My hot water pipe upstairs is currently frozen and everything else is fine. (I let the cold faucet drip to avoid freezing but didn’t think to drop the hot faucet as well 🤦🏼‍♀️)

Turn on your utility sink a little and see if anything comes out. Might be your waterline.

Live in Mt. Vernon or Bolton Hill in Balt, then they take the MARC to DC. It really will best of both worlds. If you are set on living in DC, then decline the Baltimore job and find something in DC.

If you need injections sooner, I'd recommend Dr. Lim out from Advanced Pain Management out in Lutherville.
She's a Hopkins trained anesthesiologist, who did a speciality in Pain Management, and getting on her calendar isn't a nightmare like the other offices around here.
She did a nerve block on me that took me from a 7\10 pain down to 1 in minutes.

I definitely agree with the other suggestions to live in Baltimore and have your partner commute to DC. But if you want to live in the DC side of things, look into College Park and Laurel, you can take the Camden line into Baltimore during weekdays and you can get into DC easily via metro or bus.

Reply to bakeries in Baltimore?? by paturner2012
I love Patisserie Poupon for pastries and sweeter breads! They have my favorite croissant in the whole city. With just the right amount of flakey exterior and buttery, layered interior, but you don't lose out on the bread flavor coming through. I also highly recommend their fruit tarts, cookies, walnut or raisin danish, or any of the savory danish with cheese!
I pick up goods from their location on N Charles St, Cafe Poupon, but their main pastries are baked on the Baltimore Street location and brought over, fresh, each day! (website is closed for the holiday 12/24/22 - 12/25/2022, but the Baltimore Street location is OPEN today until 5PM!)
My good friends that grew up surrounded by bakeries in NYC love Ovenbird Bakery. They have lots of gorgeous bread displayed. I've only tried their muffins (heavenly), cookies (wonderful), and danish (divine), though!
Pitango Bakery & Cafe in Fell's Point has GREAT focaccia if you can't make your own this busy and chilly season!

PJM generation is about 1/3 nuclear, 1/3 coal and 1/3 gas

Know how to winterize your pipes in case the outage is extended.

Google tells me to close the doors of unused rooms, put towels under the doors, blankets on the windows, dress warm and watch for signs of hypothermia. All common sense I guess.

why are all the replies people shilling coal? i prefer not having black lung. plenty of wind and sun outside still lol. if anything i think coal plants struggle at low temps.

How do we get ready for planned rolling outages? I have a generator, blankets, warm clothes. I have two neighbor families at my house now because their electricity is out, they also have blankets and warm clothes. What else can we do to be prepared. It’s a little concerning he said to be prepared for planned outages but didn’t share tips.

Brian Newman, he's out of Hopkins. He did my L4-L5 (sponylolythesis). Hopkins proved to be worth its reputation of being a great hospital.
Edit: he made sure we exhausted all other options before considering surgery - the other two I consulted with wanted to cut me before I even finished describing my symptoms. The only bad thing is that he's a Steeler's fan.

Big thing is how harsh cold weather is on natural gas.

BBJ news articles and part of development forums.
Ticketing will remain downstairs while the new concourse is built across the tracks. Once it's complete it's all getting shifted to the new one. You will however still be able to enter the new concourse through historic Penn.
