Reply to Cost friendly vet recommendations? by Good-Carpet4251

Erdman animal hospital has really dropped the ball. They told me 3x to come and pick my dog up after surgery. All three times he was not ready and they sent me home.

They then diagnosed my moms cat with cancer and my mom took it home. When she came back to euthanize it they tried to tell her it wasn’t cancer. Proceeded to stab the cat over 5x to get an iv put in and it was really sad for the cats last time being alive.

Reply to On March 28, 1984, Bob Irsay (1923-1997), owner of the once-mighty Baltimore Colts, moves the team to Indianapolis. Without any sort of public announcement, Irsay hired movers to pack up the team's offices in Owings Mills, Maryland, in the middle of the night, while the city of Baltimore slept. by DfcukinLite

I remember this. It was on the news in Pittsburgh and everyone was saying it was the most disrespectful way it could have possibly been done.

Reply to Seeking Advice For Working As an Employee at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health by DarkCaprious

I’ve found that tuition programs at private companies are far more generous than Hopkins. When I was at Hopkins I received $5,250/year towards Hopkins classes, which, um… does not get you far… I left Hopkins and joined a company that gave me $10k/year towards my degree.

If you’re interested in the role for other reasons, awesome. I wouldn’t go there solely thinking this is the only way to pay for higher ed.

We already know all about it:

>White flight or white exodus is the sudden or gradual large-scale migration of white people from areas becoming more racially or ethnoculturally diverse. Starting in the 1950s and 1960s, the terms became popular in the United States. They referred to the large-scale migration of people of various European ancestries from racially mixed urban regions to more racially homogeneous suburban or exurban regions. The term has more recently been applied to other migrations by whites, from older, inner suburbs to rural areas, as well as from the U.S. Northeast and Midwest to the milder climate in the Southeast and Southwest....

>The business practices of redlining, mortgage discrimination, and racially restrictive covenants contributed to the overcrowding and physical deterioration of areas with large minority populations. Such conditions are considered to have contributed to the emigration of other populations. The limited facilities for banking and insurance, due to a perceived lack of profitability, and other social services, and extra fees meant to hedge against perceived profit issues, increased their cost to residents in predominantly non-white suburbs and city neighborhoods.

Reply to Blight seems to be reducing around Center Street light rail station? by Cheomesh

I travel past this area every weekday. The Squashwise signs have been up for months, but nothing seems to be happening, other than the building is being targeted for graffiti. Its great to see the building on Ross and Howard, (next to dog park) is being renovated. This spot was the site of the first Hopkins University. It was small, only about 5-6 buildings. The students lived in rooms rented in the large homes on Howard, and the Market at the top of Howard & Read was busy with people buying their daily needs.

The land that the bus station now sits, was the walled garden and part of the Visitation Convent, and Girls school. The complex stretched from Howard across to Park Ave.
