Reply to Moving to CA to Baltimore and we're having a tough time picking to either go for a suburb vs city life, any help? by GammaRadJockey

We just moved from Cockeysville to SD! We lived in Hampden before kids and loved it. We were from Baltimore County so Hampden was a good intro to city life. Mt. Washington/Hampden is good for city life without being completely in the middle of the city and Towson/Rodgers Forge area has Belvedere Square and you’re right on the outskirts of the city.

They were being sent to be displayed in an art exhibit in LA later this year. Also not sure we own them in the first place.

The Columbus statue that people tore down and threw in the harbor a couple years ago, for example, was commissioned & owned by Italian American Organizations United

They're the same ones that were taken down a while ago when Pugh was still mayor. After they were taken down, they were put in this enclosure in some impound lot next to Pulaski highway until somebody could figure out what to do with them.

> The Confederate effigies were among four that were removed from various locations across the city the same month as the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The statues have since sat in a weedy corner of an impound lot off Pulaski Highway and were expected to be displayed in a Los Angeles art exhibit this fall.

"avenge the patriotic gore / that flecked the streets of Baltimore"

It always bothered me that every other state song that uses the same tune as Maryland's (old) song is all "look at how beautiful our state is, we have all these natural wonders, our people are friendly and wonderful, gosh our state is lovely"... and then you've got the Confederate simpfest that is "Maryland, My Maryland".

Uhhhh…Maryland Death Fest. THE metal festival in the states. 2024 lineup has been announced. Start building up your neck muscles. Hell in the Harbor will be a great stop gap.
