Probably all of them

Anywhere along the wall overlooking 83 is really nice for those quiet moments

Art House in Hampden

There’s a lot of places to hike in the Gunpowder Falls State Park with ample parking available. My favorite is Jerusalem Mill area. There’s also Lake Roland, the NCR trail, Patapsco State Park too with numerous entrances with parking.

Just try Verde. Delicious.

Most of the trails that are part of the Gunpowder Falls are reasonably beginner friendly.

The Hereford Zone trails are probably the easiest to get to, head right up 83, most have a decent bit of parking that only really fills up on the nicer days in the summer.

One recommendation is to avoid the Gunpowder SOUTH (white blazes) trail on the east side of 83 following the river that connects the Panther blue trail and the Sandy Lane pink trail. It has some washouts that become tricky to navigate.

The Central Sweathouse area is also reasonably easy with minimal ascents, though the Sweathouse yellow trail has some spots that aren't super well marked.

Central Pleasantville area, taking the Little Gunpowder white trail and connecting back to the Railway yellow is fairly easy.

Oregon Ridge has some fairly easy and extensive trails, but parking can fill up quickly on nice days.

If you want to go further out, Susquehanna State Park has some nicer trails, but some have a lot more up and down.

As for boots / shoes, it's best you go to REI or w/e and try a bunch on. I am personally partial to Keens, as I have somewhat boxy feet, and I like the more squared off toe box. And they've done right by me twice now with warranty claims.

I plan on researching organizations with successful ballot changes. Maybe I can volunteer and be part of a group to make change. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Iggies. And it’s byob

Point taken; thanks.

And to be clear, I have no issue with the (claimed) assertion that the majority of the members of that community tend to live in the county rather than the city. It’s only nominally relevant to the question at hand, and I am generally in favor of people from the county having some relationship to the city, whatever the form that may take, and vice versa for city residents. The city/county distinction is rather arbitrary in Baltimore.

I think the most normal location is around 2a outside of a crowded bar because "i don't want to talk about it! Me and my BF are OVER!"

Another nice on is the UA HQ in Locust Point, looking west seeing the sun set behind the skyline.

Never been to Noona's before. Added to the list, thanks!

We make sure that being an elected official doesn’t have to only be an aspiration for the wealthy. And we do that by making sure lower-income people don’t have to make financial sacrifice to represent others.

It happens on trash day after trash Collection

Thanks. Yes this is my biggest challenge, it’s only on trash day or I would have locked it up. I’m going to put another very serious notice and hope they read it. Because if trash can is open idk how to get them to read it. Previously there was a notice hanging and people ignored it, but I’ll post another one. I feel like it’s just this one person.

Yeah, it's the same rhetorical appeal of politicians saying they will refuse or give up their pay (like Trump did). It sounds nice, like they're doing it out of passion and not money, but it's only because they are already wealthy and can eschew a regular salary and rely on outside contract work, passive income, just regular wealth, etc.

It reminds me of the argument used to underpay social workers and teachers. "They shouldn't be in it for the money." Also, most city council persons are paid like $70k? That's higher than median in the city, but that's not exactly rolling in it. It's enough that an average person can do it and not need a second job.

Strong pay also decreases the incentive to seek outside enrichment.

ETA: I think as a general rule, yes, it requires a lot of careful consideration when legislators are voting on their own compensation but also, it feels like the earlier outrage that the CEO of BCPS gets paid a salary that seems high but that is also regular to low for a CEO overseeing an organization that big.

Fair. I wasn’t arguing with you so much as using your comment (which I only had the minor picky issue with) as a springboard to try to correct presumptions made by others in this thread. It’s just really disheartening to be constantly compared to the Catholic churches, or a mega-church, or some tax shelter for county residents when none of that is true. It’s plenty expensive maintaining the historic structure of the cathedral itself (built in the 1880s by Protestants, 50 or so years later left to rot after that parish had financial issues before being bought and restored by Annunciation). People are acting like these buildings were ever remotely habitable in the time the church has had them (nope, at least not without massive amounts of money being sunk into them) and that the hundreds of thousands of dollars it would take to restore them is something that a self-sufficient church just has (it does not).

I understand people’s concerns with historic value and architectural character. Maybe with the threat of razing the buildings, perhaps UB or another local institution with far more resources might now consider buying them (when they haven’t wanted to previously), and honestly there are plenty of folks in the parish that would prefer to rid themselves of the burden entirely.

Unfortunately it happens on trash day when they pick up trash and leave bin open

So not significantly more than all police? And then if you factor in full time vs part time work?

The council president makes more. But regular council members all make the same, $75k.
