Either prepare it for storage or if you have a local you know and trust leave it in their care and ask them to use it or let you park it on their property. Find a private garage and pay to park it there.

Since people are listing fiction and works that do not even cover historical Baltimore, I may as well add Step to the list.

When you are walking your dog and just find some random crab legs on the street. Happened all the time in Downtown and Mount Vernon when I lived over there.

I was a SF customer for maybe 9 or 10 years, and yes: they are expensive and act shifty whenever you actually need to use your insurance. They tried to drop me for no reason, had to get the state involved at which point they said "oh it was just an error."

Reply to Do Baltimore’s I-83 speed cameras actually work? City transportation officials say yes (some stats inside) by z3mcs
It's much better driving on this roadway now, imo.
Perhaps with some of the money they will add additional cameras.
If the state police want some easy money they should find a place to squat just across the Baltimore City line by the Baltimore sign. Because people take off for 695 at that point. 🤣

I was at ~1200 a year for Geico. My rate increased after someone drove into me (everyone agrees I was not at fault) and after I got my new car... Previous car would have been paid off this year. 😕 Geico called it inflation. But I also added coverage because having been in 3 accidents since 2018 that weren't my fault, I felt I had no choice. I have been in 3 major collisions in my adult life, and those are it.
Two times (1 in Louisiana and 1 in MD) someone bumped me at low speed at a red light/stop sign, and no claims were necessary. I drive very cautiously and very low mileage.
Currently ~1700 a year. So yes that's 250 per 6 months. Will definitely be shopping around soon.

I agree. But I hope they do some sort of traffic calming at Central and Fayatte and Central and Orleans because that is very stroady, and all I ever see is people booking it towards Hopkins/the Calvert Street overpass on Orleans or to President/to Hopkins on Fayette.

And Cathedral Hill (which is basically the hill the Basilica is on and it is a bitch if you're going up to the library, Streets Market, or... The Basilica 😂).

I was a day late and had a late fee. Now I have the due date in my calendar and monthly budget.
sxswnxnw t1_j2nwqp3 wrote
You don't have to do anything for the water bill. They will automatically start being billed to you... Because the bills are fundamentally tied to addresses, not people.
The seller should have given cash to the title company to set aside for any outstanding water bills. The first month in my house that bill came to me for some crazy amount, and I called my realtor who was kind enough to loop in the title company, and the title company took care of the bill once I sent it to them.
I am also a first time home owner, and had no idea either. My realtor has been wonderful.
Once you know the due date, note it and pay the balance by that date or you get late fees.

Honestly though, federal jobs also tend to pay by location. Once you remove that location pay, the real pay is kinda basic and honestly on the low side for what all they expect people to do.

I don't blame you for moving to have better access to healthcare. Maryland would be on my short list if I had chronic health problems like the ones you mentioned. Hell, Maryland would be on my short list if in good health... It's the Hunger Games for healthcare access in so many states, smh.
Welcome! I met people through work and meetup.com and running groups when I first moved here.
