Reply to comment by joscun86 in Stinkum from the Wire out scamming in Station North & Mount Vernon again by ashandafurdiegoyim
That’s exactly where I ran into him when he tried to ask me for $20. What got me was that he tried to say that he was also a teacher at the arts school, but he pointed in the wrong direction when he was talking about it. He also had a whole line his car getting towed or something like that.

i worked with a guy who was an extra on the show once lol. he played a corner man. he said he had no lines but the camera sits on him for a second or two. i forget which episode now it was ages ago when i briefly worked with him.
i've also been working in the city or close to it in some capacity since 99 so i am quite sure i saw some of the actors but i had no clue about any of that stuff so it would have just been another random person i'd see out and about to me.

Reply to Anyone else not living in DC think that the fact that the acronym DMV isn’t literal is stupid as fuck? by dhg1927
Doesn't it encompass everything that is a commute-able distance from DC? The long form is DC/MD/VA. It totally makes sense to me. Other than the fact that it is the same acronym as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Other places use terms like 4 corners or tri-state areas. What's the difference? It's just shorthand.

No one uses DMV to refer to the whole of the two states and the district. No one is confused by DMV. It’s just an easier way to say “DC Metro Area” in casual conversation. Delmarva is also just a different thing entirely and refers to the eastern shore. Under no other context would anyone need to associate those three states together. Also, it’s just not that serious of a thing in general so why are you so upset?

Yes, I find it annoying, but not surprising. The DC adjacent MD folks, love to distance themselves from the rest of the state, especially Baltimore. Just call it the DC metropolitan area.

Reply to Seeking Advice For Working As an Employee at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health by DarkCaprious
I know that Johns Hopkins pays lower compared to other public health organizations in Baltimore/DC. To my knowledge, they only cover about $15k in tuition. The thing is Hopkins is obviously $$$ for school. Not only that, the benefits are not as comprehensive as other organizations. The one plus is their private shuttle service.

Hopkins raised their tuition contributions s to $10k/year recently, FWIW.
Edit: at least for University employees. I’m not sure about Hopkins Medicine.

Thanks for the write up! Do you remember if they happen to have whole fresh sardines? Got a new Mediterranean cookbook.

No. I don’t really think it’s that complicated? I didn’t know what it meant when I first moved to the area but I figured it out pretty quickly. It’s fine.

Reply to comment by PigtownDesign in Blight seems to be reducing around Center Street light rail station? by Cheomesh
Yeah, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that's a pipe dream. Residents in this area have too little wealth to support niche retail like antique shops. You need places with high median income, like Howard County, to support antique dealers and even that's been difficult in that area after the Ellicott City flooding decimated their historic retail street. If they can't do it, I see no hope for the Howard Street area. Better it turned into more diverse retail options.

A lot of that is spillover from the market center the city is pushing a little south. I’m in seton hill. I ain’t mad about it.

I got scammed by this guy hard when I lived in station north by the Charles theatre. He said he needed cab money and would pay me back. He never did but didn’t recognize me and approached me 3 months later. I yelled “you owe me 40 bucks you fucker!” and he bolted. Never saw him after that.

Reply to comment by rgbarometer in ECLECTIC RESTAURANT in BASEMENT of corner rowhouse perhaps a few miles from Second Chance? I went perhaps 5 yrs ago. I'd like to go back & can't figure out what it's called or where it is. I tried Yelp and can't find it. (I hope it's still there! If not, I'd appreciate other suggestions.) by rgbarometer
American food and free parking. Sounds like you're looking for the suburbs.

Reply to City didn’t take my yard waste today and I am mildly infuriated. It’s been taken in the past. Did I do something wrong? by rattus-domestica
I put something out there once and they left it behind, maybe a month ago. Was it just leaves and sticks? My residual was a broken bread box (un bagged) ... I bagged it and they took it the next week.

I thought it referred to DelMarVa when I first moved to Baltimore, but no, I don't find the acronym "stupid as fuck".

I used to go to the one in Owings Mills. I liked it a lot. I eventually quit and went to Lifebridge, but I do miss a women-only gym. Seems like there is a market for it, too. 🤷🏿♀️

Reply to David Linthicum’s lawyers suggest motive, liken jail cell to ‘torture’ by Cody_in_Baltimore
Naked, lights on pretty much all day, and nothing to do. Yes, that is pretty bad. Not to absolve him of anything he has done, but that is not OK. And assuming this is true.
The request to go home with a GPS, however, is also not reasonable.

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
A date that will live in infamy. I remember it very clearly.
