Just a reminder that the Annabel Lee Tavern will probably be closing at the end of January or early February! If you haven't been to Annabel Lee Tavern you must go before it's Nevermore!

AND when you go please order the famous cocktail named after me...the Jeff Jerome delicious cocktail! I always order two of them when I go there! It's the perfect hot drink for winter weather!

Enjoy!

I knew there was gonna be a king of the hill reference but decided not to include it in the post 😂 great episode, hank was not happy when he was handed a pink t shirt! they were playing 4x4 original boggle super big 6x6 had not been invented yet. completely different games peggy would get demolished in 2023

Congrats, I had her as a professor for my audio documentary class in 2016

I worked construction for several years, you’re obviously missing the point that as an a real concept, you shouldn’t exist as a class. The homes you “bring to market” should be owned by the people living in them.

Just saw a post now that they’re reopening in fells.

Baltimore deserves better public transit, investing it would completely change the city for the better.

It feels like a lot of the roads that come off of or to over 83 have this issue. That and cars speeding super fast into those areas.

I took the Light Rail the other day from Camden to Timonium for a doctor’s appointment. It was honestly fantastic, and Kaiser was super smart putting the new building right next to the Light Rail stop. I wish there was more transit-oriented development with the Light Rail.

The downtown stretch really is the worst part, but I don’t mind it having to deal with red lights - the one in the post picture also has to. I think if Howard St was pedestrianized it would be far better for all parties.

The only other issue is that trains aren’t going nearly often enough. To generate good usage, three things are needed: location, regularity, consistency. Sometimes you can make up for consistency by having more trains, so a delay for one or missing one doesn’t hurt as much. I want to say the Light Rail is every ~20-30 minutes; it really should be every 15 at max.

Also, weekend and night service should be expanded. And maybe officially make the Light Rail free (most people hop on and off without paying anyway!)

JBGBs has amazing fries and good food/drinks.

I believe they’re reused from Boston?

Howard St should just be pedestrianized down town. It would probably spur development there better than whatever the current plans are.

It wasn’t Towson that pushed back. It was the residents of Roland Park.

The Hampden Board Game club meets every Monday at Frazier’s. You may be able to find players there. They have a Facebook page

Maybe reach out to No Land Beyond and see if they want to host. Or you can organize a Boogle meetup there!

Is this...Peggy Hill? :)

$250K is the price point for more desirable neighborhoods. Here's a short list of some homes in one zip code that are basically turnkey, are not blasts from the past, and don't appear to have anything excessively bizarre in the interior.

This kind of stuff is always listed, although the properties do vary.

Stuggy's on Fleet St has banging duck fat fries iirc.

Yeah most homes in Baltimore were constructed pre 1950. There may be several homes under the $200K price point in "desirable" neighborhoods, but will need significant renovations or upkeep in the coming years. Your point still does not address the fact that equity firms are buying up properties at a rapid pace in this city and it is getting worse. This objective fact can also be verified.

I believe a lot of it was a product of timing. We ordered the rolling stock in the 80s, just a few years before modern low floored cars became a widespread thing.

> I don't know why boggle doesn't have any kind of tournament scene nationally and doesn't get any respect compared to scrabble.

I mean, as someone who loves Boggle, there isn't really any Game Theory to it. It's closer to track and field than it is to chess.

Based on this, there is little appetite for the SSA/CMS route as it’s mostly telework now https://www.rtpcorridors.com/images/documents/Appendix%20C%20-%20Public%20Engagement%20Technical%20Report%202022-12-20%20FINAL.pdf

Societally, landlords provide a negative function and as a class impede home ownership for millions of people in the U.S. alone. It is generally passive income. I’m not saying that you don’t have to replace a sink or paint or maintain a roof. Yes, of course, these are all things that need to be done to keep a home livable. What I’m saying is that overall, the world would be much better off if we lived in a world where people could afford a 1200 mortgage instead of being told that they don’t qualify and are forced to rent for 2k. Landlords are so low in this broken system, but nonetheless they leech off of people the same way bankers at jp Morgan or BOA do, just less successfully. All landlords are parasites that take advantage of a system that exploits lower classes. Just like all cops participate in a racist judicial system. It doesn’t matter if you’re “one of the good ones.” You’re complicit. So your crocodile tears about putting up dry wall or caulking a tub don’t really inspire my sympathies.

Looks like that in Morocco as well.
