I’ve witnessed dudes like refuse to eat a banana because they think it looks like they’re sucking a dick. Wild stuff.

Nice!

YES. Hopefully they have a bit more staff on hand as well as a better stock of food. I love the Christmas Village every year, but the lines were extremely slow last time and they kept running out of items. The cashiers were basically bartering with us to make kind of Frankenstein sandwiches with whatever they had left. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt in that it was the first time since everyone started coming back out after everything being shut down in 2020.

Indeed. John Waters called Formstone the polyester of brick. I love it.

Appreciate you going for painting rather than removing. Formstone is a finite thing and once it’s gone, it’s gone. If it’s crumbling then I understand removing it, but it’s a thing that is unique to Baltimore and a few other cities/areas and I feel like we should try to preserve when reasonable.

SACRILEGE

Lol somebody don’t know shit about Maryland traffic laws.

This ig rules

Ambiance is great at a place like Elk Room, but I can get similar, often better cocktails at other spots around the city for much less.

I even had a decent time at Choptank, but again, they’re charging a premium for something that I can get elsewhere for a lot cheaper and of equal, if not better quality.

I dunno. I don’t think they’re selling mediocrity, but they are certainly overcharging for what they offer.

I was chewed out on this sub awhile back by some guy accusing me of gatekeeping motorcycling because I commented on how absurd these guys look. I don’t care about motorcycles. I’m sorry, if some dude is blasting mumble rap while driving down the street in what looks like an oversized Batmobile power wheel with funny lights all over, I’m going to comment on how ridiculous it is.

My god. The tricycles. All of those guys are douches to the max. I really don’t mind people playing music in their car with their windows down or on a motorcycle, or whatever, but good lord those guys blast that shit as loud as they can so they can make sure everyone looks at them riding around in their expensive toy.

Fettucini Alfredo. Gotta carbo-load.

I have indeed been there and that place is nice!

Oh I know. This disappointment hit me a very long time ago.

One of the greater disappointments in my life. Would be such a no-brainer to lean into the Poe stuff hard. Spooky bar with Poe-themed drinks and decor. People would go just for the novelty and if you make it even a little upscale you probably wouldn’t have to deal with the fights and violence that place deals with now.

Trucks and other buses in cities across the globe can navigate turns like that. Why can’t we?

That may have been the point but it doesn’t seem like a good longterm solution. Eventually you will end up spending more money on constantly replacing these things than just installing something sturdy that you may have to do upkeep on once a decade.

Additionally, the fact that they are so cheap and replaceable makes for very ineffective protection and traffic calming. I have watched people in all manner of vehicles simply run them over or even park right on top of them.

I have these same questions about this as well as our bike lanes and the Big Jump too. Flex posts only go so far if a driver doesn’t give a shit about running them over.

I noticed this earlier in the day and looked it up. It was the annual homecoming parade and festival for Morgan State. Can’t speak to anything later in the day, though.
