Your best bet is sell the car for what you have in it to someone out of state. Very difficult to sell an as is car in MD for any decent amount because as you learned the inspection cost can kill the value of the car. Sucks to learn this way but that's probably your least expensive option. Get it gone.

I’m not talking about a state inspection, I’m talking about a private, pre-purchase inspection at a trusted mechanic. It’s a good way to both see if there are any major issues with the car, and have a little bargaining chip if it needs work.

This is all the info about the arrests that is in the article currently:

>Baltimore police said the first arrests have been made in connection to a string of robberies involving people posing as ride-share drivers.

>It's not clear how many arrests have been made, but police said they're working with multiple businesses to track down suspects.

Good job BPD! At least it's multiple arrests. I'm glad they started catching whoever was doing this.

I love not far from there and it’s a pretty normal neighborhood. People are generally polite and as long as you don’t think you live in Montana or something (lock your doors, lock your car) it’s fine.

Just to add to what others have said - it’s a historical thing in Baltimore that is very common. You just pay a small amount twice a year but as a matter of Maryland law the other party doesn’t have any real rights or anything over the land as long as you pay. You also have a statutory right to redeem it so you own the whole property in fee simple, but it’s usually cheaper to just pay the ground rent (and your mortgage company is generally the one paying it for you out of your payments).

Some non-local lenders have problems with it though because to them it seems similar to buying a home built on leased land, which is often the kind of thing they won’t finance, but they may not tell you that until pretty far in the process.

Be sure it’s an all ages show. We used to take our daughter when she was a young teen. In fact the only issue I have with Rams head is that the owner put cameras in the women’s bathrooms in Annapolis many years ago.

It looks as though Nick Mosby put forward a bill for elected officials to qualify for a lifetime pension after serving 8 years in city government. This was after voters overwhelmingly voted for 8 year term limits for elected officials.

City council members voted 8-5 to pass the bill and it heads Mayor Scott to sign into law or veto.
