They bleach the water to kill bacteria. Let it sit a while and the chlorine will waft away. Don't drink the tap water, whatever you do.

Yeah they designed that intersection to minimize foot traffic and push cars through as fast as possible. They removed a crosswalk iirc. :-/

Ah yes the old "Baltimore left" I call it. My favorite though is when at the red light you see the driver make a right turn then immediately a u turn then another right to effectively avoid the red light.

Not a bad idea- also maybe worth posting in r/askLE

I walk by this cop car multiple days a week to get to/from work. I, an average Baltimore resident in the L, have alerted the police to issues with traffic lights on multiple occasions since July, the kinds of issues you could easily see from inside the vehicle, so they’re clearly not doing traffic enforcement. The police are there for one reason and one reason only: to avoid (or deter or maybe just delay the city from) another high-profile murder involving a squeegee worker at a major intersection that would force the city’s hand and force the city to police behavior that realistically will not stop until larger systemic changes are made and implemented by the city government.

This is the area the driver/squeegee shooting happened. When the cops started sitting there I wondered why that corner and not all the other places people got killed in the city, and when you check the rent in that building you get your answer

Not sure if you saw my comment on the other thread but verify your water heater isn't malfunctioning and burning chemical residue from the water.

I wonder if a shady private detective could help? I’d put on an orange vest, and hard hat, turn off their water and tell them I need to get to their main shut off valve in order to restore their water. Document as much as possible and release info to you. If I was in that business.

Contact your councilperson and tell then your neighborappears to be cooking meth and the police aren'tdoing anything. If you have a halfway decent one, their office will rattle some cages with BPD.

Pretty sure it’s the sewage backup issue. Happens everytime it rains

Yeeeeeeeaaaaa, something fishy with this whole thing. OP first post asking what to do was 14 hours ago and this update describes what sounds like a weeks worth of activity.

you might want to try to have a conversation with a local cop about what they would need to see in order to actually do something. like, is there any way to convince them that it actually is meth. maybe bringing in large quantities of certain chemicals or something. you may be able to capture this with some hidden security camera.
in the meantime, do you have access to the basement? you can put some plastic all along the walls and floor to try to stop the smell from getting into your house.
I wish I could be more help.

There were squeegees there before the shooting, and there were concerns about squeegee violence and theft before then.
It’s a chokepoint for a large percentage of the traffic coming into the city. Visitors come through there. So it is a good place for police to make themselves known.

Idk how this sun came up on my feed but there are test kits you can swab your house with that will detect meth residue. Landlords use them in between tenants if a meth lab was suspected.
