I like the idea of BRT on Oakland Mills and 32 but these plans aren't good enough. You can't but the busses in mixed traffic. Especially the proposal to put the buses in traffic on 32 East right before 95, it will eliminate the value for the commuter who currently takes this route by car. It also needs the camden line MARC to run on mid-days and weekends.

The 29 route also needs to go all the way to a metro station, not a park and ride, and also needs to avoid mixed traffic.

If they can create dedicated right of ways and connections to 7 day a week transit into DC and Baltimore, it's a great idea. Anything else is a half solution.

it can definitely be a cluster in there, so I order in advance. I do find it to be of superior quality though.

There really aren't many good salad places around so maybe it's worth it sometimes when you're sick of the mall or whole foods.

I have a pretty old medium distance all direction rca antenna mounted about 12 ft in the air on a wall above my roof. It’s flat and about the size of a piece of paper.

According to antenna web I’m about 15 miles from Baltimore signals and 25 from DC.

I get channels 4,5,11, 20, and 50 pretty well I get channels 2, 13, 24,45,54,67 really well.

I don’t get 7 or 9 at all.

I think with a better antenna I’d get them all well.

We often exaggerate the seriousness of the weather here. It was only rain on Thursday.

I’d say 3-4 times a year there’s a bit of slushy rain/snow. Maybe another 3-4 times straight snow. We rarely get just straight ice but it has happened.

The cost of living in Columbia can be quite high. Depending on where you decide to live.
