99.99% of people are not going to bike during the winter. It's also a nightmare with children or if you want to carry something heavy or in the rain or if you have a disability. You hipsters need a serious reality check on this topic. The constant posting absolutely reeks of ableist upper middle class privilege.

Sounds awesome. Are you in city proper? Which neighborhood?

Makes me think of when I was 21 and buying plastic handles of vodka and people used to say “remove the fun stopper first!!” Referring to that little plastic piece on the nozzle

Wasn’t the Crossland banner used by Maryland confederates who joined Lee’s army? And it was adopted as part of Maryland’s state flag on that basis post-reconstruction?

As an aside, not saying this is some sort of defining factor of ‘southern cultural influence’ by any means.

I’m supposed to take one of the monkeys as my date but I’ll ask her if we can sit this one out

If you haven't found anyone here try r/lfg

Why not just turn it into a pedestrian only piazza? The restaurants and coffee shops could expand outdoor seating into what is now the street and it would be really really pleasant to just hang out there.

This is exactly how the group started. Going from nothing to level 12 is a bit of a learning curve but if you're interested I'd be open to give it a shot - certainly no shortage of folks in our group w/ rules knowledge

Mount Vernon and Bolton Hill have the most galleries, art events (including artscape), and art stores. They’re also close to plenty of bars and restaurants. Bodegas aren’t really a thing here, but there are a few grocery stores.

They’re also where MICA and the BSA is located. So lots of artists and art students.

Only problem is they’re way more expensive than other neighborhoods.

Do some one-shot auditions to find your new guy. Trust me on this.

That doesn’t seem very efficient. “Hey, we need the chopper in the air, stat!” “Sorry, it’s going to take another half hour to fuel it.”

god damn government can never get anything right!

Rippled bbq utz and rippled regular with helluvagood dip are the GOATS

Sometimes it is necessary. Like if your sub gets overrun with legitimate posts that all belong to a related thing. Sure, it's hard to drive traffic to other subreddits but it can work with a pinned post or links on the side or both, coupled with people referring to that sub when people crosspost. I get that it isn't ideal but it's better than the other options (banning relevant posts or just allowing all types of posts), no?

That’s interesting. What about then makes them ideal for summer vs other seasons for you?

seriously, make the academy class the lifeguards for a summer on rotating shifts. they spend time in the community and get to know ppl, and pools always safe because there is a cop on duty.

Actually, the flag bears the arms of the Calvert and Crossland families, and pre-dates the Civil War by 200+ years.

Imo, the suburbs have some of the most aggressive drivers I have experienced in this state. Owings Mills is definitely in the top 5. I think it's the long boulevards there with very few breaks for pedestrians, and all the double and triple one-ways. Also rare street parking. People treat them like race tracks.

I wish I could join in. I played as a kid but don’t even remember how now. Seems a good way to make friends though for someone new-ish to the area (like me).

Thanks! I have an incredible group that's like a 7-10 depending on the night, but I'm always looking to scratch that itch a bit more. I'm lucky to have played nearly every Friday for most of the last 5 years.

For what we spend on that helicopter we could train new ones and give them a decent salary. This is just a stupid use of resources - and rather than creating more resources for the community it's focused on punishing people, which is an objectively dumb way too deal with most societal problems that could be solved by creating more resources.

it bet it's easier if you have access to that helicopter money.

Everything about this comment is golden. I hope you find a good group.
