Reply to Disputing parking ticket by ALongBoii
Were you parked in front of a business that has ever done valet? Valet isn’t typically something that just pops up as a one time thing. I think if you can prove historically that there’s no permanent signage and the place consistently does not have valet signs you might stand a chance. If it’s a significant enough fine (guessing likely if there was a fee associated with the tow) that it’s worth the day you’ll likely have to take, I’d fight it.

Reply to Last MARC train for the night by MeanMrBiter
MARC isn’t like the bus system where they just disappear even though they’re listed. Unless it’s posted on the MTA twitter/social media that a train was cancelled it will run. It’s much more likely that a train is delayed than just cancelled unless there is another option to accommodate passengers.

You can negotiate with xfinity. you should always be calling and threatening to cancel and you tell them that you have other options and you quote the prices for things like Verizon or T-Mobile home internet and you get them to give you a better offer or promotional rate.

I’d recommend checking out Baltimore bike party. Last Friday of every month they start near mount vernon. Great way to see the city and bike. Routes are posted on Facebook and Instagram.

Reply to Patterson Park Rent Increase by GoodbyeHorses69
That’s pretty crazy. They can ask whatever they want but I pay almost the same for a 1000 sq ft one bedroom in Fed hill so I would start looking at moving.

Reply to Thinking of moving to Bolton Hill by over_the_seal
I walk around Bolton hill all the time and I’ve never felt unsafe. Just have basic street smarts and you’ll be fine. I know MICA has some security in the neighborhood for the students that live there.

Reply to Fitness Question by Obasan123
If there is a YMCA near you that would be a good option. Typically an older age group and there’s often a senior discounted membership. They also do classes that are generally included.

Reply to comment by DvrthKen in Moving to Baltimore for grad school at Johns Hopkins, which neighborhoods close to campus would you recommend living in? by DvrthKen
There are a lot of options around campus. You’ll want to focus on Charles village, Hampden and Remington.

Which campus? Do you have anything you are specifically looking for in an apartment? What’s your budget?
You can just search this subreddit and find the question asked before if you don’t have any unique criteria.

Reply to Housing search by appleoftruth
It’s very difficult to give suggestions without a price range and when you are looking to move. Do you want someone to look for listings for you or are you looking for an management companies for the future?

Reply to Parking situation by captain_anglerfish
If you want to be close to your apartment then you’re better off finding a place with parking in mount vernon. Street permits are cheap ($20 for the year) but it feels like there’s more cars than spots sometimes. It is likely there will be times where you will need to circle for 10-15 mins and may end up a couple blocks away. A lot of newer building with 4+ units are not street permit eligible so make sure to check if you are going to go the street parking route.
I never had any issues parking in mount vernon. Break ins/window smashing does happen. You should try to leave nothing visible if someone were to look into your car.

I think you’re confusing topside with the bygone. The revival is not that tall of a building to see past the downtown high rises.

Topside is in mount vernon and the harbor is not visible. Great view of the Washington monument though.

Then I would look at being walking distance to Penn station so you’re not adding a lot of unnecessary time to your commute. I would look at places in mount vernon. You’ll likely be looking for a studio unless you get a roommate.

Reply to Restaurant search - any recommendations for fancy AND kid-friendly? Realistic or no? by blissadmin
Cosima maybe? I’d imagine any Italian place could do a scaled down basic spaghetti/noodle in red sauce that would be more kid friendly. It would also make ordering them a pizza a little more acceptable .

What are the kids interested in? Baltimore zoo is cool because you can feed the giraffes for like $5. Baltimore science center and the museum of industry both have a lot of interactive exhibits. Visionary art museum while not free would be a lot more fun for kids than the walters or the Baltimore museum of art.

Reply to 1 person utilities by sleeponthefloorx
Both of these utilities are ones you can find out actual numbers for. Bge you can call and they can give you an average and likely a high and low and water bills can be searched on the city website. They’re billed quarterly I believe.
