The county is definitionally suburby because all its growth in the last century was for white flight from the city. There is almost no mixed use development and where it is its usually insanely expensive to live there. If its walkable, its like a single road of shops surrounded by parking lots with limited access highways abound.

It’s like living in Baltimore City if the city was a county

Well then you’re not very familiar with the city. I could give a number of “Baltimore exclusive” experiences. Baltimore’s a weird city with a lot of history.

Reply to Does anyone know a person or business that can make an abstract painting for me? by Engridonline
Stop into The Baltimore Ary Gallery in Hampden, we have a bunch of local artists, some of whom do abstract acrylics. I work there tomorrow, and most Sundays. You can see their work and I can give you their cards. Question though: is this a photograph you have the right to use or is it from internet? This makes a difference whether it can be copied exactly, or needs to be changed or just used as inspiration.

No, everybody in Baltimore county is 50 or older. We had everyone else forcibly shipped to Hagerstown.
Not sure what you mean about "less suburb-y", but denser areas with business/retail/restaurant districts exist. What are you looking for?

I assume he means the appraisal is 43k higher and taxed based on that.

I (29M) grew up in Baltimore County and I loved it. I’ve lived there in various areas up until last year. Lived in the city with my GF for a bit and now we live out in the country. Towson is probably going to be a place of interest for you. It contains Towson U and Goucher so plenty of college age people. Good restaurants, a music venue, a mall, etc. and it’s walkable. North of Towson up through York road is cool (Lutherville, Timonium, Hunt Valley) it’s suburban but lively. Also lots of good food and bars and shopping. Bars like High Tops will have a younger crowd. Also plenty of light rail stops to get to conveniently into the city. East of Towson toward Parkville and White Marsh can become a bit more blue collar. Again tons of great restaurants and convenient shopping. Probably less of a scene for a young twenty something (Das Bierhalle is a popular spot).
Hope this helps. Baltimore County is bigger than t what I described but those are notable mentions. Let me know if you wanna know more about any of that.

Towson has a young crowd because TU is right . I’m not sure what you mean by not too suburby is since the county is the suburbs.

Reply to Is there anyone out there with success/experience in challenging property tax assessments? by Kooky_Deal9566
I used a private company who does all the leg work and will review your case and see if they think they can lower your value. Took about a year total. Their pay is a % of what the adjusted amount is. PM if you want to their contact information.

In all seriousness I’ve worked in the city since I was 17. 10 of those years as a messenger exploring every corner of this city as a profession. Lived all over this city until I got my wife pregnant and got out. I’m 30 now, and I still can’t give someone a good “Baltimore exclusive” recommendation of what do while you’re here. Don’t get robbed dood, move with purpose, don’t look out of place (like a tourist) 🤷🏼♂️

Well I think the rain is going to cancel everything at the Harbor BUT the fireworks apparently from what I saw from WBAL today on TV… but Fells Point would probably be a good starting point.

Thanks. 😕 They implied we don’t want good candidates. We do. We’re trying to do the best with what we’ve got. We don’t put up with shadiness in the department.
We’re hoping someone who would really like the job will apply.

It’s been a long while since I celebrated NYE in Baltimore but back in the day none of the bars had closing times for NYE. You could literally be out drinking almost anywhere until 3,4,5 or even 6 in the morning. Not sure if that still happens now, but if it does I recommend sleeping in late tomorrow, taking a midday nap, and start your evening around 10pm. Again, having not even visited in about 8 years I’m not even sure if my usual stomping grounds are still around but if they are: One Eyed Mike’s, Blarney Stone, 1919, knotty pine, Walt’s are all great places to stop by (a little spread out but covers Fells to Highlandtown).
RIP Gecko’s- which was always the best place to be at 4am.
