I've had the same experience. I've had a lot of prescriptions filled/refilled in the past three months and the Falls Walgreens is close to me, so I've been going there.

The only issue is they aren't open on weekends. So when I need something right away, I have to have it sent to another store. They also close for lunch, so I have to plan around that also.

So who am I renting from if there's no landlord? Is the government supposed to own all of the housing stock?

I'm currently renting a home. I used to own my own home before I moved here. I could 100% buy if I wanted to. I don't want to. I'm not committed to living where I am for the next 5+ years. I'm very happy to have the ability to rent a home and not be forced into a small, overpriced apartment. I used to own a rental property myself and my tenants were also not looking to own and were very happy to rent my property (as they told me many times). Not everyone who rents wants to own.

I live near a high school so a lot of students walk through the area. One day I was looking out the window and I saw one finish what he was drinking and throw the cup over his shoulder right in the middle of the alley. I was raised to never litter. I don't understand why people think others should have to clean up after them.

Wow, my HOAs never charged a fee to process. ACH saves late payments, gives cash flow predictability, and saves them the wages of whomever processes the check deposits. So the bank may charge an ACH processing fee, but it's less expensive than having an employee depositing checks (wages+employment taxes+benefits). This fee is just a revenue generator for them.

I'd set up a bill pay through your bank (if it's free) or mail them a check (the stamp is still cheaper than the fee). Just to force them to eat the time and expense of processing that check.

I'd go with the screen shot fight, but if it doesn't work, don't withhold your payments. The ramifications aren't worth it. Eat it and move on.

It just has to be earned income.

As the parent of a grad and a current student who each went 50/50 dorm/apartment, there's a lot of factors to consider. Ask yourself/research: Will you want to live there during any summer/winter breaks? If so, definitely go for the apartment. Apartments provide the convenience of coming and going when you want to, not when the school decides you should. Less move ins/move outs. You appear to have only one semester under your belt. Are you sure you will be happy to live with this group? Can you stay another year in the dorm and then rent? How much upper class housing does the college provide? Will you likely be forced to move off at some point? The circumstances at your university could be very different from others' experiences, so take that into consideration.

I was right there, too. At 12:30. Parked in nearly the same spot but when it was just the cops. I couldn't tell what was going on either.

Look for a Baltimore area hiking book.

I would stay away from Hampden area. Just getting out of the city is a hassle. I WFH but had to drive to DC for a meeting recently and it's 20-30 minutes just to get on the highway. Fed/Locust are right near the highway and much better option if you are driving.

I didn't know I could buy pork roll here. I've been craving a pork roll and egg sandwich. Thanks for this post!!
