I’ve seen people keep their catch out at North Point, but idk seems suss.

BPD actually busted 12 members of a gang that was running out of that Princess Plaza strip mall last summer. It wouldn't surprise me if that crew had destroyed any cameras that could watch them and it also wouldn't surprise me if BPD just went 'job done' and stopped caring about that corner right after the bust.

I think you need a license but what are the odds a DNR cop rolls up to check?

I personally would not - the Jones Falls (which feeds into the harbor) historically has had an issue with sewage runoff. There is also a ton of industrial pollutants in the sediment, including stuff from a chromium plant.

If you don't mind driving a bit there's a ton of good spots in the area - a lot of people fish right below the Conowingo Dam (go when they are running water through the turbines), also Sandy Point State Park. MD DNR also does a lot of trout stocking, I'm at work so I can't provide specific locations, but if you look on their website you should be able to find it. Lastly I would say go and get a fishing licence, I would imagine any body of water you need a permit, it's just that enforcement is spotty.

N Charles is fine to walk on but if you feel uncomfortable, the buses between that stretch are pretty reliable and the silver and green city link both run 24/7

I can’t believe there’s no description of the vehicle. Are cameras not everywhere these days?

I see folks catch and keep at the fishing pier at Canton Waterfront Park. One guy told me you don’t even need a fishing license. Sat for about a 2-3 hour boozy picnic in the park and saw some decent sized striped bass coming out and going into buckets.

I don’t know the legality of any of this. This is just an observation.

I really can't believe BPD doesn't keep a constant presence at that fucking strip mall. Oh no wait, it's BPD yea I believe it.

Lol, I always called them wild cum trees. They were all over my college downtown.

I worked with him in a most unlikely setting. He will always be remembered by me for his cheer, good heart nature, and the chaos he created on a shift one day by telling us one bit about his person views of the world. It was all the staff could take about behind the scenes for almost two hours. Such great memories with him. Miss you bug. I hope you ended up where ever you wanted.

I lived near Penn Station for years, and had zero issues when walking. Not that anyone can guarantee your safety, but I never hesitate to make that walk, especially Charles and St Paul. Calvert is too quiet at night, but lovely by day.

They smell like fish

Unreal. Sad to say I moved after living in fells for 18 years but this is the shit that sends ppl on their way

Charles probably has the least dead space of any of the streets between Station North and Mt. Vernon, but generally speaking, walking between the two neighborhoods is safe enough that I don't see the need to prioritize any particular route. Any of the N/S streets should be fine.

>I'm not sure why people would recommend against Charles

It was a comment I read in this sub a while back, before I actually moved in. Now that I'm here, I feel the same way-- Charles seems like a great N/S route specifically BECAUSE it's populated and busy.

We do! We patrol the bike lanes regularly, this post is just about targeted enforcement thanks to extra 311 reports.

There are 4 Korean Spas with steam, sauna, hot tub, and more in the DC area - all in Northern Virginia. Two are in Annandale- Riverside Spa and Parkside Spa and Sauna. You heard about Spa World in Centreville. Finally, there is King Spa in Chantilly.

Thank goodness. Drives me crazy. Just wish y'all would patrol on lanes that aren't protected. Going down st. Paul in the morning and people think the bike lane is a stopping lane for running errands. Then I have to go out into the traffic lane and cars honk at me. Bonus points if they stop in the bike lane when a little effort would have them in an actual parallel parking spot.

I'm not sure why people would recommend against Charles - of all the N-S streets in that area, foot traffic will probably be highest on Charles, which is what you want from a safety perspective. St Paul and especially Calvert are both fairly residential in that area, so you're going to have less foot traffic once the sun goes down.

For what it's worth, if I'm wandering home from Club Charles late at night, I walk down Charles to Mt Royal to get back to Bolton Hill. I've never felt unsafe on Charles after dark, though it can get lonely on the bridge over the Jones Falls. Maryland Ave can be a bit weird at night, and I've heard too many stories about nighttime muggings to feel comfortable on the Howard St bridge after dark.

I wonder if there are too many vacancies in the arborist department, maybe no one works there anymore. A tree fell on my street last year, we reported it as leaning, in need of pruning back in 2020. It’s been lying on the ground for at least eight months since it fell in the storm. I called 311, my neighbors called 311. One young man cut the larger part of the trunk so it doesn’t block the road but the base still sits on the sidewalk and grassy area where it fell.

Exactly the sort of insight I was looking for. Thanks.

i personally know of three people who have gotten mugged in that stretch, so when in that area in the dark i try keeping my alone time as short as possible. i wouldnt do it if i were you.
