It's a damn shame we can't unify enough to incorporate.

Jim Rouse served as an excellent benevolent dictator, but now that he and his company are gone, our city has been left to the wolves.

We don't need The Howard Hughes Corporation.

We don't need The Columbia Association.

We need a fucking mayor.

FWIW, several Pb paint inspectors in addition to a few builders from the time with whom I've spoken all stated that no Pb paint was used in Columbia at the time of its construction.

The dangers were known by then (1967-8) and new construction just went with the Pb-free alternatives that already existed at that time.

I'd still be careful and get testing done, of course, but I'd be far more concerned with Aluminum wiring than Pb paint.

I don't get it either. If you don't plan to pick up the poop, then don't get a dog! It's that easy.

I had to put a huge trail camera on the front of the townhouse I'm renting out because one of the neighbors was just letting their elderly dog shit everywhere, daily, and not picking it up.

Put up a camera and get them fined.

You'll still pay BGE, but the underlying provider of your natural gas will change.

I guess it depends on where in Columbia and College Park, but I commute daily from Bryant Woods to Metzerott Rd by car at 9AM and it rarely takes longer than 25-30 minutes.

It's not great, butt it's the closest to NY pizza in the area IMO.
