Welcome--a Florida transplant myself as well. From SoFL. I much prefer Baltimore :). Volo sports is a good way to socialize and get some exercise too. You can join different sports leagues and specifically slot yourself into a league based on skill levels. Something to consider. also there are a lot of running groups if that is more your thing.

Lmao god damn you are dumb. That is literally a propaganda website from right wing think-tanks/chamber of commerce types that lobby to make businesses not accountable for injuring and killing people. You have been taken advantage of my dumb friend

Welcome! I transplanted here with my husband 8 years ago! We had a good time going to all the craft brew tap rooms. Union was our favorite, check that out. Now that we have kids our social outings have slowed down so I can recommend a ton of family friendly and kid stuff but if you're child free that won't help lol. But yeah, just going to local breweries and hanging out we met lots of cool people that way. Baltimoreans are a friendly folk for the most part and I think that they are very welcoming of transplants.

I will also suggest enjoying the area's natural beauty. In the city Jones Falls Trail and Ft McHenry are nice and in the county I like Marshy Point and Gunpowder falls (there are several areas, all worth checking out). Also I've had a lot of fun joining local urban foraging groups (again, having kids has slowed me down so I haven't in a couple years) and if you google that stuff should come up. I met lots of great people that way!

Whew! I'm glad that frivolous lawsuits are not brought (and won or settled) on a regular basis. I'm definitely dumb for thinking that was a normal occurrence. I'm also dumb for believing there are hundreds of law firms that specialize solely on predatory lawsuits. Thanks for clearing all that up for me.

....Oh wait, there are entire websites setup to track this sort of thing easily accessible via Google? Oof. I don't know what to believe now. Factual information, or you.

You are literally too dumb to be on a jury. What do you think the purpose of the tort system is? It is to make the injured whole. If someone on the train was not injured, they have no damages, there is no case to bring. There is nothing to sue for. No lawyer would take that case. It would get dismissed if it's filing pro SE. The "frivolous law suit" is literally an invention by insurers to take advantage of dumb idiots like yourself to support tort reform to boost their profits. You are dumb. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Welcome to Bmore! I'm also a Florida transplant, 37/M from Orlando. i just got back from visiting there. What part of FL are y'all from? Not as many things going on in the winter but lots of fun things to do throughout the city during Spring/Summer months.

Sometimes accidents are just accidents, and no amount of litigation can stop them. Alternatively, there are so many variables that not all of them can be monitored constantly. In this case, we don't yet know the cause, but implying a lawsuit will fix whatever it is... Is quite premature.

But I certainly do hope the 5 injured individuals have all of their medical bills covered and any related costs associated with the accident. Everyone else? Be happy this was a minor accident.
