My biggest concern about the proposal is that the traffic pattern for this new lot requires that cars will enter on Elm, but the only exit is onto the Avenue via the alley between Holy Frijoles and the former Bank of America building. Given the high level of pedestrian traffic, the difficulty of seeing oncoming traffic from that spot if cars are parked on 36th, and the fact that stop signs on the Avenue are already treated like a suggestion, I don't see a scenario in which this won't create accidents.

Everyone who got the result they wanted last year didn’t seem to care much that Mosby snubbed the victim’s family, as she has countless times before. It was pretty obscene, considering those involved in the original arrest & prosecution dispute’s Mosby’s “findings” and still stand by the conviction.

Hampden is extremely well suited biking. The problem is cycle infrastructure will have to largely replace either parking or car lanes, for example 32ed and 33rd could have one way bike lanes put in by reducing the size of the travel lanes. The community as a whole would have to get on board with taking full advantage of their mixed use built environment to make quality of life better for everyone living there this way, but all that is really stopping Hampden is willpower and the ability to get the DOT to do anything to enforce the complete streets ordinance.

I don't live in Hampden, I live in Mt. Clare, but I like to be an annoying buzzy bee with my bike lane and pedestrian protection map proposal. Do one for your neighborhood and talk about it more!

Hot Pot King checks my two most important boxes: individual pots, and buffet access to meats (and all other ingredients), whereas a lot of other hot pot restaurants in the area require you to order meats from wait staff or a tablet. Also has a good sauce selection and a delicious wintermelon tea! It is lacking a bit in ambiance but I'm there to eat.

>Maryland’s second-highest court has reinstated the conviction of Adnan Syed, ruling that a “new, legally compliant and transparent hearing” that does not violate the rights of victim Hae Min Lee’s family should take place.
The ruling is likely to be appealed to the Maryland Supreme Court.

>“Because the circuit court violated Mr. Lee’s right to notice of, and his right to attend, the hearing on the State’s motion to vacate ... this Court has the power and obligation to remedy those violations, as long we can do so without violating Mr. Syed’s right to be free from double jeopardy,” the court wrote in an opinion posted Tuesday afternoon.
“We can do that, and accordingly, we vacate the circuit court’s order vacating Mr. Syed’s convictions, which results in the reinstatement of the original convictions and sentence.”

Which area in NYC compares to Sandtown/ Winchester? You're saying poverty levels are the same. but lol you are using baton rouge as a talking point when baton rouge is incredibly violent. I'm not sure where you pulled your statistics from. But tell me why you think Baltimore has such high violent crime if it's not poverty
