Greedy Reads does a couple of book clubs every month.

I mean FARMS rates in the public school system.

Oh nooooo! Surely the bikes going 20mph and the pedestrians going 3mph will generate so much less business than the cars flying by at 40!

Used to work there, everything about your story is suspicious and apart from normal operations. Let it go and just work out there or stop.

1people don't sign onto multi year commitment contract ($1500/yr) with out a tour and engaging sales. No new member goes sight unseen to this gym, especially not at 9pm.

This is the prime time for gym theft season, which happens in Merritt (and all huge city gyms) every few years.

You signed up online, but don't know how to use the online system to get your qr code?

I haven't worked there since 2020, but the red flags set Mike off. That gym is hands down the most diverse in the city/county...leaning largely to people of color and lgbtq...its unlikely a bias thing.

Just keep monitoring the situation and keep an eye out for the survey they send customers everyone. They take that shit seriously as it goes to corporate....you can ding them again if they are in the wrong.

But I ask you to consider what you could have done to avoid this. Like call ahead and say " new to your service, never been there, but I signed up, so what do I need to know? Do I need a tour?"

Knowledge is power. Get some.

And legit welcome to Baltimore, I hope you fall in love and help a Lot of people while you are here.

Cars are one of the least space efficient forms of transportation… If the goal is to increase the capacity of our transportation system to accommodate development, a roadway that priorities the movement of cars over people is not the solution

very strange. likely some conscious or unconscious bias happening there. do you look very young? I used to go to that gym years ago and they had issues with some high school kids who were allowed to be there letting friends in the back door and the other kids would make up all kinds of excuses for why they just forgot their ID/barcode.

there is a Planet Fitness downtown

I once tried to sign up there. While touring the facility, the trainers showing me around told me everything they didn’t like and gave numerous reasons why I should sign up else where. Example, I’m skinny but tone. They told me the gym attracts a lot of body builders that wouldn’t be friendly to someone that was n’tan ‘elite lifter’. They also said this isn’t an ‘instagram gym,’ whatever that means.

Not permitted. However the city had a site visit with the operator months ago that the operator does not mention in his quote and they are adjusting the design to include a formal loading zone. This was shared with the reporter.

downtown does have basketball courts.

Fully built out, Harbor Point was projected to produce an additional ~700 trips an hour during peak conditions. Assuming pre-pandemic traffic volumes on Central AND that pre-pandemic traffic estimate, the road with the road diet will be far from capacity even in the most congested hours. Suggesting this is somehow a traffic disaster is a joke any reporter should have seen through.

> Which... ya know... is completely justified when those they arrest never get prosecuted.

"The homicide rate is high because Marilyn Mosby won't prosecute sex workers!"

semi related, that law building on mt. royal is so ugly and out of place next to the historical feel of literally everything else in the area.

Play board games at No Land Beyond.

Walk dogs / socialize cats at BARCS.

sheesh. A lot of yall showing your true colors towards foreigners and poc in these commmets. No surprise it existed but this is what it took to bring this out and a lot of them are specifying that they dont even use the downtown location.

I do and have used it at all times of night and day. The place costs $82 a month; if he wants to activate his account at 2am, so the fuck what, he should be able to.

Recommend the mornings based on similar experiences but I’m also preemptively standoffish and aggressive towards people for this exact reason.

I saw this happen as Remington gentrified. I lived there for a number of years and there were a lot families that couldn’t afford the rising property taxes as their home values increased. Often times they had to sell houses they didn’t want to sell and leave a neighborhood they didn’t want to leave. It was even worse if you were a longtime renter. Landlords sold a lot of the homes for development or redevelopment.

You can’t argue with the result though, as Remington did a 180. Whether or not it was worth it probably depends on whether you lost your house or benefited from the new development. Definitely pros and cons for each side of it.

Seems weird to cut off the loading dock. I'm assuming that it wasn't permitted and so they didn't have to include it.

No they don't.

Thank you. I send the reference number through the messages several days ago. Did you receive it?

Just accept we live in different worlds lol. You’re reality is a sheltered bubble and others face actual adversity. Perhaps it’s not that they need a reality check, it’s more so that you need a new perspective on your reality 😂

Which... ya know... is completely justified when those they arrest never get prosecuted.

What's the point of putting yourself in a potentially dangerous and/ or life threatening situation if the best possible outcome (an arrest of the criminal) leads to literally nothing happening because they get released the next day to just never get prosecuted? I don't see one.
