They line Jenifer Road in Timonium.
We lived off Jenifer for a decade. I'd never smelled them prior to that - my town in HarCo didn't have them, or had so few we rarely encountered the smell.
I'd love it if the golf course replaced them with a native species but they only care about appearances.

I think I can’t smell them. I noticed the distinctive smell of Gingkoes growing up in Baltimore, but not that of Bradford pears. Now that I live in MoCo, I know Bradford pears as the trees that take down power lines at the slightest breeze. Still can’t smell them.

it's lovely here just be careful in the wee hours of the night ofc. They also have events like the flower market and monument lighting. St. paul street feels like a video game when u have to drive down it but i love this neighborhood

And there is the cost of interest on the debt and the little problem of finding someone to buy them. I don't think there are 14,000 homebuyers waiting to buy a renovated rowhouse for $300,00 in the city neighborhoods where the vacants exist. A few of them on the edges but not 14,000 of them.

The Washington post did an article about how they came here over a century ago. I’ll try to find it later and Edit this if I do. It’s was a really interesting read.

And they don't get huge and fall apart in wind or ice storms...

Stupid civic leaders only concerned with their own political careers. They are ignorant of the history of the city and let outsiders take it from us.

On a lighter note- There is a fruiting pear tree on the triangle of land, at the intersection of MLK Blvd & Howard St. If you are in the lane which is turning right onto Howard, (in front of the hospital, the small tree is on the left. Sometimes panhandlers stand on that spot. It stands about 7 ft high. It may be a remnant of the Bolton Estate, which sat very near that location, and which the Armory now occupies a portion of the estate property.

Here too. Love me some cilantro and don't know what people are talking about regarding these trees.

We had them outside my high school. It was an older school with no air conditioning. Opening the windows in spring was really unpleasant.

Reply to comment by EthanSayfo in Mayor Scott says contractor can’t discharge treated waste from Ohio train crash in city wastewater system by Cody_in_Baltimore
So I take it that your opinion is that Clean Harbors should not be operating here at all? Or is there something specific about this waste that you're concerned about?
Edit: Lots of downvotes here, so for those of you who believe that Clean Harbors won't properly treat this waste, our politicians included it seems, why should they be allowed operate at all? What other harmful substances are they discharging to Back River?

All the rage in the 1990s around Maryland. My parents had their house built and the builder had them as part of the planting plan lining the boundary of their property.

Housing vouchers are a protected class under Maryland Fair Housing. This means a landlord, whether a private landlord or an apartment cannot deny you based on a housing voucher.
Is this what you’re asking? About the housing voucher?

Good to know that im not the only one that absolutely hates those trees. They are an absolute abomination and I am not exaggerating in the least when I describe them in that way.
