FWIW I have a wall full of Best of Baltimore awards in the lobby of my office. I don't think they have ever even approached us to advertise let alone pay to play. I typically just get a random voicemail in the spring saying we won.

Its the one thing this town does not have. Cuba De Ayer off 29 is the closest legit Cuban food.

Still can't believe the slap on the wrist he got for the 2019 kiddy porn charges.

It should be going to the state's unclaimed property fund after 3 years.

Reply to comment by Ipeteverydogisee in Any Sour Beef and Dumplings? (Sauerbraten) by crashsector
If you want Baltimore style sour beef which is different then traditional sauerbraten this is the answer. The recipe was part of the sale of the original Belair Rd location in Perry Hall to the group that owns it now and attempted to make it a regional chain. I have it for lunch once a month during the winter.

Reply to Some residents protest president's plan to rebuild aging B&P Tunnel in Baltimore by SpaghettiOsPolicy
-Pretty sure there is not any freight on the corridor anymore South/West of Bayview Yard in East Baltimore.
-CSX redid the Virginia Ave tunnel in DC with similar concerns/ neighborhood outcry. I don't remember there being a whole lot of issues once they finally let them start construction.

Reply to comment by PigtownDesign in Woodberry Tavern thinks big in a small space in Baltimore by sxswnxnw
Too funny; my wife and I went right after they opened and I ordered a G&T. The waitress went into a while spiel about how they couldn't offer limes because they were out of season locally. We've laughed about it occasionally for years.

Exactly, I really don't know how anyone could live with themselves doing that to people. To make matters worse anyone who takes their word will get met with a high pressure salesperson who will rob them blind. We had a customer recently that got a quote for the same equipment we quoted that was double our price.

Stay away from any home service business you see heavily advertising (Michael & Sons, Horizon, Len The Plumber, Blue Dot, etc.). Their business model relies on techs that are heavily incentivized to sell and not repair. The reason they advertise so much is that the business model does not support repeat customers. They want to take as much as they can and move on.

Thoughts from a contractor who pulls permits on every job:
-If you have already purchased the home and it passed a pre-purchase inspection you are just opening a can of worms that is going to just cause you a lot of aggravation and money. My experience with home inspectors is that they are all more nitpicky to cover themselves than any City/ County inspector is.
-There are entire states in this country that do not have any trade licensing/ permitting in place. Its more a way to protect contractors from competition and provide another revenue stream to local government than it is to protect the public.

Reply to Anyone had any luck finding concerta/Methylphenidate? Walgreens hasn’t had it in months and my daughter needs a refill. by MrMeganMullally
Try calling around to the different Giants. I was in the same boat with my Adderall RX a few months ago and Walgreens was saying they didn't expect to have stock until the spring. The Giant in Pikesville has been able to refill every request since I switched.

Reply to A reminder that "light rail" (as a concept) and "The Light Rail" (that we have) are not synonymous by gaiusjuliusweezer
They really should scrap the current light rail between Penn Station and Camden Station while building an extensive street based light rails system like this.

Reply to comment by pandacorn in Does anyone else hate the rusty scupper?? by JealousAmbassador281
I thought about this last night and became curious about who actually owns the place. Turns out it was part of a small chain at one point (Baltimore is the last remaining location) and its owned by a group out of Cleveland.

Spot on! It is the last vestige of the 1980s Inner Harbor before nationwide chains and tourist traps. Always been inconsistent as hell food wise but its a hard view to beat.
