The goal is that once all the projects are done (gateway in NY, this tunnel, a couple bridge replacements, track improvements, etc) for the DC -> NYC trip to be under 2 hrs

Reply to comment by kellyfacee in My friend's cat went missing near Fells Point. Any information is appreciated. by cannedwings
Nebelung cats are medium-length gray hairs with hazel eyes, and it can be frustrating trying to tell them apart. Aside from the occasional white patches and minor face-shape variations, they look remarkably similar. They often have similar, almost dog-like, demeanors.
Definitely still worth reporting to OP though.

JHU has a shuttle that runs between all of its campuses, including the office building in Hampden. Your options are pretty broad.

The light rail comes directly to the station, not a block away.

Thank you for your input, I am considering this but want to be prepared in advance to know where to look for and be pre qualified to have a smoother transition when we find a place we like.

Thank you for your input, considering this, then are there areas within 30 minute drive from the hospital that your see are safe from the property consumption?

I will be alone with my dog for the first year while my partner is finishing up their studies elsewhere and joining me later.
Most important thing I’m looking for is accessibility to large parks/hiking trails and safety. I do plan on bringing my car so areas with lower car break in rates would be ideal and don’t mind driving 20-30 minutes to the JHU medical campus. Thanks in advance!

I guess areas accessible to large/safe parks would be the main thing. I like to hike a lot but that would require me to drive out of Baltimore. I don’t drink or smoke so don’t need to be in the lively city area. I do plan to bring my car so ideally in a place where there are lower rates of car break in too. Thanks!

Reply to comment by SnooHedgehogs6553 in 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
It's too bad you're being down voted, because "is it yard waste recycling season?" is a completely valid question.

The travel time north to NYC is hampered by the tunnel from NJ into NYC, since it's only two tracks in a very old tunnel that lacks maintenance. It's also shared with all the trains coming from NJ. The Hudson Tunnel project is addressing that issue by building a new tunnel with two additional tracks and rehabilitating the existing tunnel.
Southbound there is a new tunnel going in under Reservoir Hill that will replace the B&P tunnel which is also old and lacking maintenance but doesn't allow for higher speeds.
Overall the entire NEC corridor is getting some pretty major upgrades so in the next 10-20 years we should hopefully see decreased travel times between DC and NYC as well as increased frequency of trains.

Someone linked to an etsy when this was posted a few days ago. That OP may be the artist?

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
I don't think it's stupid and it doesn't bother me. I will say, having grown in up a state with a DMV (Division of Motor Vehicles) instead of the MVA, I still sometimes say/think DMV instead of MVA and get thrown for a loop when someone starts talking about the DMV as a locality.

I can't imagine moving to a new city and deciding to immediately purchase a house. Rent for a year and get to know the area and neighborhoods before committing to a huge purchase.
