This is so helpful! Thank you. If you don’t mind me asking, but how to do handle transportation dropping off the kayaks and then getting home after you’ve finished?

It all depends. Could be an HOA, CA, county, or even the state, depending on where the grass is located. I'm not sure about the location you mentioned, though.

I’m willing to bet that’s a county issue and not a CA issue. Have you notified the county about?

Ok glad I'm not the only one!

I go to North Laurel Animal Hospital. I have no idea if they are cheap or not, but I budget for the well-being of my dog. However, the staff and vets there are incredible. They really take the time to answer any question I have, they are thorough, and they clearly love animals. I wouldn't go anywhere else if it would save me few hundred bucks, but that's just me.

I don’t know if they have what you’re looking for, but I’d try Roggenart and/or Bonheur Patisserie & Deli.

Second this spot. Have been a member for four season. The pick your own section is CLUTCH

Do you have a high school diploma? Definitely recommend checking out Howard Community College to take some classes part time while working. They have apprenticeship programs too so you get paid while going to school.

My favorite spot in Columbia. It’s more on the expensive side but completely worth it

On the bridges in the path system?

I had great luck with Columbia Finishers.

There’s a spot in Kings contrivance shopping center. I’ve never been there and rarely see people going in and out, but might be worth checking out.

“ Some community members have begun discussion a financial protest if Boyd is ousted. Former board member Jessamine Duvall raised the possibility of an organized effort whereby Columbia residents would withhold their annual homeowners’ fees in protest of board leadership decisions”

Would this actually accomplish anything? My fear is that the lower wage employees would be most impacted by this. This would make Lakey’s job harder, not the board’s. Also, other cost saving measures I’ve seen CA do is not open all pools and limit maintenance to open space.

I think showing continued support for Lakey and putting pressure on the board to make the right decision is most realistic. I’m sure there are better options out there. If the board ousts her, what qualified candidate would want to apply to a job that would require them to report a board like this? CA is shooting itself in the foot.
