Reply to Payday loan? by [deleted]
Don't do it. Go to the storage place, pay down all you can and talk to the manager, along with proof of employment, and your next pay date. That fails talk to your bank (and it's always a good idea to have a local bank, not a faceless corporation) about a short personal loan. Or if you have a credit card put it on there. This last is also not a great option but way better than a payday loan place.

Bayside Cantina could be an option, it's not very accessible unfortunately since you have to navigate an unsignaled stroad to get there from Canton.

Just call and let them know, they'll postpone it. You only have to serve once per year.

To be fair most of the schedules published by the MTA are pure works of fiction. Just that the MARC ones seem to be accurate. Same can not be said for local bus, light rail, etc.

Reply to Do you guys think that this is a safe walk? by [deleted]
During the day you should be ok but it's a bit sketch a few blocks north and down around Lexington Market. I'd walk down Park and across Fayette or Baltimore, much less sketchy than the other routes.

NE Regional should be quite a bit less than 200/rt if you book 14 days advance.

Reply to comment by AutobotsTransform in Downtown Restaurants & Bars by NeatLeft
Can easily walk from Inner Harbor to Mt Vernon (15 min); Federal Hill (5-10 min) or Fells Point 10-15 min). All three neighborhoods have a ton of options. Could take the 94 to Hampden, roughly 30 min ride; just be aware it's not very frequent service; Hampden is a quaint walkable neighborhood with tons of options. Upper Fells and Canton as well, lot of options but I feel like nothing that warrants the trip, but if you feel like it it's about 15-20 min ride on either the 65 or the NV from inner harbor (65 is best if you are going to Canton Square)

Reply to Downtown Restaurants & Bars by NeatLeft
There's not a ton of options. Water Street has Water Street Grill and Peter's Pour House, both good neighborhood type spots. There's Supano's next to them for an old-school vibe. Further away you have Pratt Street Ale House or Mick O'Sheas. Otherwise you have the hotel bars, the B&O would be the best and is a decent spot. I don't know that anything is open late night anymore though, Mick O'sheas is probably the best shot for that- defintely check hours. Werners and David and Dads also have bars but close early, I think 8PM for both.

I don't know what the city is or isn't approving but Rosedale isn't in the city, so what matters to you is if the county is allowing them or not.

Reply to Some residents protest president's plan to rebuild aging B&P Tunnel in Baltimore by SpaghettiOsPolicy
Starting nearly 5 years ago I think there's been a series of consultative meetings and neighborhood input; and an environmental impact plan done. I agree that this needs to continue and resident's concerns addressed, but all I read here was a lot of "if" and supposition- it's not clear exactly what of the projected and documented and disseminated impacts they are concerned about.

Reply to Anyone with experience of Michael & Son for heating work? Mine was, sadly, terrible. by TakeCareBeWell
They did this to me and left me without heat for almost two months. Same exact story; except they kept parts shot-gunning my furnace without fixing it. Finally the last part they installed, I called and called and they kept saying part was ordered, they'd let me know. Finally after about 4 weeks of this, I called and said enough, we are ending this service agreement unless you can tell me exactly when that part is arriving, and they transferred me to a service manager who was like, oh your part is here, would you like it installed?. They are the absolute worst. If I were you I'd call them right now, tell them you are ending the agreement (read the fine print, there's some language in it on what you might owe) and immediately go with another company. I will never never never work with Michael and Sons again- I have very low tolerance for garbage client communication and theirs reeks.

Reply to comment by nationdecay in Moving to Baltimore by nationdecay
This I can get behind, in spite of my earlier snarky comment. I've lived car-free in Baltimore for 12 years. Choosing a neighborhood carefully is important (though sounds like you'll still have a car). Biggest hassle is groceries- Baltimore has a real challenge in access to groceries, so look where the grocery stores are in order to start looking for housing- some popular neighborhoods have no grocery access, so you end up still basically car dependent. It's great to be walkable to groceries, and even if you still have a car you'll want a decent transit line or two nearby, you can download the Transit app to see what your transit options are near where you are looking. Walkable neighborhoods with grocery stores and some transit access could include Hampden, Charles Village, Mt. Vernon/Midtown, Station North, Downtown, Locus Point (parts of Fed Hill as well, groceries being the issue here); parts of Fells (again, groceries are a problem); Canton.

Reply to If a residential property is adding a 3rd story to the structure, are they required to post a notification of those plans on the front of the property? by [deleted]
Not required to post anything, doesn't likely require neighborhood review unless it's a zoning variance or CHAP district, and may not be required to have plans per se but they need a building permit. You can check the existing permits site and see if they have a permit; if they don't you can file a 311 for unpermitted work and get an inspection on the property. This ensures work is done to code, safely for neighboring propeties, and that it's reflected in the tax assessments.

The city tree team doesn't plant these. Maybe in the distant past, but more likely flippers and developers these days.
