If you can get TMobile home it’s $50 unlimited forever and it’s just as good as Comcast

Hell ya, love Great Sage. Another good Howard County spot with a lot of vegetarian stuff is Ananda!

That place gets better every time I’m there. Haven’t met a bad person there, either

Lebanese Taverna near the harbor has some killer falafel and just some really good vegetarian options as well. Also I know I'm a rando on reddit but Happy Birthday!

Such as? What’s your best 3 examples of something unique?

It’s been like this ever since I’ve been here. And it happens elsewhere as well. The Fed Hill shopping area, despite being popular and relatively small, sees a ton of turnover and failed business. Margins are slim and its difficult to be successful.
I did meet a guy on a plane that works as a consultant to help people set up pizza shops. He said most people starting then have no clue what they’re doing from a business perspective. I assume that’s a thing in the larger restaurant industry and contributes to the high rate of failure.

I would say theres lots of places around town that are truly unique in flavor, they just don’t have a bunch of hype boys on Reddit, they also tend to be off the beaten path and minority owned.

Call Xfinity. Request the solutions department. Tell them you were thinking of switching to T-Mobile 5G and heard they are lowering bills for existing customers in the neighborhood to $25 to get them to stay.
Be sure to mention your Hampden neighbors are receiving that specific offer, or they'll likely default to saying they don't have any offers available.
TLDR You could be paying less for the same service

I’ve been going to Swallow at the Hollow for about 10 years and they are still going strong.

Sadly Baltimore is a decaying city. Crumbling infrastructure, very dated. You don’t feel the growth or progression. Restaurants are taking their businesses elsewhere.

Unique food done well is really, really hard to come by.

Popular on Reddit. It’s not the first place to do a Asian fusion fried chicken bun nor southern style sides. Literally theres no new flavors and it is not unique. The only people that rave about it tend to be basic in nature. But if you like it I love it.

Don’t remember the exact stat but the majority of small restaurants fail in their first 3 years or something like that. It’s not unique to Baltimore

Tmobile 5G worked great for me. $50 a month with the carrier I think or just in general

Highly recommend Alma Cocina Latina (Venezuelan food) in Station North. Delicious mushroom risotto and several vegetarian apps/small plates in a beautiful setting (feels like a jungle with plants all over). Less fancy but Clavel also has delicious Mexican food and drinks (but prepare to wait if you go later than 5, as they don't take reservations)

Lmao How did you come to that conclusion? Bond street was popular in 2013 and died last year due to poor management. H&M isn’t a small business. It’s a major global corp. it left when they officially closed the Light Street Pavilion.
