Bummer. Looks like it was a great time.

That sounds awesome!

Ah, I see. That bill's dead on arrival.

Also...

> says Hartford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler.

lmao.

Maryland House Democrats are trying to outlaw felony murder charges for people under 25 years old, arguing that brain development isn't complete until that age.

I donated art supplies (mostly pencils and art paper) to Jubilee Arts on Pennsylvania Avenue. I emailed ahead and some staff met me there. They were very cool and gracious. Jubilee is community centered and has art focused classes for kids and adults.

You do know that the city fits trash trucks down those alleys, right?

I think if you look at the traffic on 36th street, very little of it is commercial or emergency vehicles. We could still let those vehicles in (and encourage hand carts/kei trucks whenever possible, and require permits) while still restricting everyone else. We don’t need to leave the Avenue open for people to drive through or park their personal vehicles.

Interesting this subject comes up but I just stumbled upon this Zillow listing (https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1612-McHenry-St-Baltimore-MD-21223/294976026_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare) this morning and reading the description it sounds like they are renovating 20 houses and targeting artists. It’s in Mount Clare so your boarding the up and coming Pigtown with plenty of walkable spots (old Major, Pickett, Wico, suspended, Zekes), Hollins Market ( redoing of the market, Zella’s and Backyard), and Union square. I wouldn’t say it’s desirable but I’d say it looks a lot like a Highlandtown situation 10-15 years ago. If anyone has any insight on this project that would be great.

That's good to hear!

DM sent!

Commercial traffic can go down alleys? lol okay

For this specific plan, yes. That’s the only reasonable concern I’ve seen. Removing one condemned house is not going to destroy Hampden.

Trying out the new foxtrot 🤷‍♀️

> They're trying to get rid of murder charges for people under 25.

"That's a nice argument, Senator. Why don't you back it up with a source?"

Owings Mills Blvd (and branching roads) are a mess, and Reisterstown Road from where it terminates near BCCC in the City all the way to Main Street in Reisterstown is a hellscape - especially in the stretch between Dolfield to the West and McDonogh to the East.

With that said, 795 is the fucking Fury Road.

#WITNESS MEEEEE^EEE^EEE^EEE^EEE

Thank you guys! Got a vet appt with Aardmore in next two days. They are indeed so nice there. Worth a drive. Used to take my dog there years ago.

Thank you for this recommendation. After Serial and Undisclosed, I wasn’t sure what to think but was erring on the side of innocent. I’m going to listen to this one now!

The only reasonable concern to tearing down buildings to put in parking lots, the thing that destroyed most American city centers and sent them back decades in development, is the new traffic pattern it might cause?

Emergency traffic can go through pedestrian-only zones (usually with movable posts or bollards). Commercial traffic can go through alleys and/or use smaller vehicles. There are plenty of pedestrian-only areas around the world that have thriving businesses because of the lack of cars, not in spite of it.

To clear up confusion I live in pig town and there was a helicopter just circling my neighborhood

You have to think about commercial and emergency traffic. 37th is a problem for them because of the speed bumps (yes, they could possibly be removed) and most of the north-south streets are pretty narrow.

They’re just on a joyride spending our money that could otherwise benefit the citizens
