Yeah, but we'll keep a sharp eye out for what you're hauling around in your truck.
"I got it off Craigslist" Uh, huh....suure.....

It’s hard to know what city departments are responsible for what, there is finger pointing and blaming other areas, departments, then none of the 311 requests are addressed. In the end the city residents and the environment suffer.

This is super interesting to know. I remember when they first did the Stony Run restoration. The first phase, in Roland Park, was closer to 20 years ago. At least in this case, the trees that have been planted are a mix of native species.

I know. I'm being sarcastic.
I even have a Balt county flair lol. I lived there for a decade as an adult.

Forestry is not part of the efforts to remove healthy trees.

Gwynns Falls, Chinquapin Run, Powder Mill, Hillen Rd/Mt Pleasant, etc. they have a ton more planned. Stony arum is one they did less than 10 years ago and it’s failed 3 times. Each time they have to go back in and remove more trees to “fix” the problem. These projects are removing 100 year old trees for “30 year old projects” that only last 3 years.

Back in the day there was a sauna at the Finn Hall in Greektown. This was before my time. My grandparents were active at the Finn hall and I wish it still existed

DPW and the city forestry teams have done terrible things to the environment. In my area they tore down 1/4 acre of older trees they said impacted visibility in the big park, then they planted sidewalk trees where people paid to have the previous removed because they were getting into the sewer lines. Why remove healthy trees for visibility in a green space, that makes no sense. At least four years ago a woman from high up in DPW told us they were fixing the problems with the storm drains leading to the Maiden Choice behind my house. Four years later nothing is done, the river overflows the banks every heavy storm and the trees on the sides keep falling in causing jams. DPW causes problems all around by starting projects without finishing them or doing things that don’t make sense, yet no one from the city will take responsibility to fix the mess. I believe their stream restorations make things worse, the sewage leaks that DPW never fix means sewage goes right into the bay.

They don't pay enough to get those people. These jobs just aren't valued, and increasing funding for these things doesn't get you the political benefits (newspaper stories, TV hits, etc) that increasing the police budget or education budget does. So politicians ignore infrastructure until the bad stories about shit falling apart get so terrible that they need to do the minimum to get those stories to stop.

Came here to make this suggestion. Excellent people here, and they focus on primitive/historic bows. No recurves to be seen.
The Traditional Classic is a good time, as well.

If you're willing drive about an hour away, there is also King Spa in Virginia. It's a Korean style sauna, so you shower, bathe, and then hang out in the various saunas, as well as the option to order food or relax in the pools and hot tubs while inside.

When I saw your post, I thought of Newark, Delaware. When you say north, like 83 north? If you are harford north, let me know. I have a few places I can recommend.
