This is awesome.

It had been working fine up until the Pilar vortex. They were gone for the week surrounding it, and had no issues beforehand. The house was kept at a reasonable temperature as well during the time in question. No litter, or obscene amounts of TP being used. The gutter apparently is routed into that pipe as well, but the rain ended well before freezing temps hit.

One toilet flush is what sent water into the walls, and the ice blockage at the blow out hole was discovered.

after seeing all this madness, we made new plans earlier today!

This means that the line is not properly angled, and is not fully clearing. Many historic buildings in Europe have exterior soil stacks. So the concept has been proven to work. Could also mean that people are putting too much TP in at one flush or other items , like Kitty litter, lint from washers, and other unmentionables.

Welcome

Also 28M living in Waverly with my fiancé. It's a great neighborhood.

We've got the farmers market which will start back up after winter. Plenty of restaurants, clubs/venues and bars near by in Charles Village and Station North. A community garden on Old York. The occasional show at Normals Bookstore. My Mama's Vegan is a great food spot right on greenmount. Cycling/ frisbee golf around the lake and tennis/golf in Clifton Park. There's also the historic Senator Theatre up in Belvedere with plenty of good restaurants/bars as well.

You know the public has a weapon in its control to throw terror into Southwest? Stop using them. If the public does not use Southwest for 3 months it will send a signal that the public is voting with its feet.

This is so nice 🖤

We’re sorry you’re having a rough time. In addition to the resources posted here, we’d also be interested in having you as a bus driver. We will train you too.

Antique Depot in Elliott City has/had a lot of vintage Legos (boxed and loose). It's been a while (about 1.5 years) since I was there last.

I'm sorry to hear this, reach out to Maryland 211

Awesome advice, thank you!!

It sucks big time. Sorry I don't have any specific advice, but it's fortunately a good time to get hired if you need something for the in-between.

I’m just super depressed. I never thought I would have to deal with this again. I thought things would be different compared to 2020 and 2021. It’s the same mess from back then.

I never could have predicted being laid off from work a few days before Christmas. It’s super depressing

The issues are continuing because we have a gubernatorial administration that doesn't want it to work well. That will change come mid January, but may take time to filter down.

This is what is going to happen:

1. Lawyers will ask MTA for all footage of the derailment, and will also have the TikTok video.
2. MTA provides the camera footage (inside and out). And yes, the cameras work, audio and video.
3. Lawyers of people who weren't on the train in the first place are going to go to their clients and say "WTF?!? MTA knows you weren't there. We're going to lose big if we take this to trial." (Those too stupid and continue to trial get burned real bad here)
4. Lawyers for the people on the train will quietly get a settlement from MTA of a few thousand dollars per person max.

Sally O’s in Highlandtown has a pre fixe for $65 per person.

It’s nuts, and like no if real structural improvements are being made to compensate for it especially on the roadways

Good thing OP posted this old story and potentially confused people in the process.

“Stay classy, Baltimore” has been my favorite phrase for decades.

Unrelated to weather - get there early. Last time i flew out of bwi that early they only had one security checkpoint open.

This sucks. I thought it was unlucky to have my sewer line indoors, but maybe not.

Thanks. Some of the news stories about the Southwest meltdown are just insane.

If that dont make you wanna break stuff...

Not me, but... That's really nice of you to offer, wow.

Can avoid a metro transfer by taking blue line to New Carrollton then MARC or Amtrak NE Regional to BWI
