Utz regulars. How do they get then so thin and crispy!

And there is the cost of interest on the debt and the little problem of finding someone to buy them. I don't think there are 14,000 homebuyers waiting to buy a renovated rowhouse for $300,00 in the city neighborhoods where the vacants exist. A few of them on the edges but not 14,000 of them.

Baltimore city DPW is hiring.

Department of Energy Wind map tends to agree with you. Baltimore is solidly in the "not very windy enough to make meaningful power from turbines in a harbor" area.

The Republicans steal where the Republicans are, the Democrats steal where the Democrats are. They got a system

Maybe it is just "a dispute" like they said in the news conference. If there is more to it, like a racial killing, gun deal gone bad, gang hit, etc. no one in the mayors office or police seem like they want to talk about it. They certainly don't want to field any follow-up questions that come with those types of discussions.

And they claim the average margin is 5%. So he's taking home $238,000 a year in your example. Next year, no so much.

I know you are probably generalizing/exaggerating, but an increase in the cost of labor wouldn't result in a 100% increase in cost. If wages went up by 25% and labor is around 20% of project cost then the overall increase would be 5%, not 100%.

If his franchises do about average sales he needs to do $1,840,000 in sales to cover the fine. From FranchiseTheory.com.

"McDonald’s Average Gross Revenue Per Franchise Location

Church of St Mark in Fallston has a fish fry March 10 and 24. St Johns in Hyde’s has a fish dinner March 3 and 31.

That's kind of what I thought. I know people that went to Purdue and Connecticut and they basically paid some fees and that's all. The salary they got covered housing and some expenses. I think their out of pocket was less than $5000 a year.

Along with the $21k are they also getting paid tuition for their degree, paid fees, or a housing allowance? Or just $21,000 salary and they have to pay tuition and fees too?

If you do stay in that neighborhood take a walk around and look at the "townhouses" the rich people used to live in. George Peabody, Emily Post, Johns Hopkins, Enoch Pratt. Also check out The Engineers Club and The George Peabody library for cool interiors and woodwork. For eats... Afgan Restaurant, Brewers Art, Tio Peppe's, The Helmand, Marie Louis Bistro. Lots of good places to eat.

Hotel Indigo Downtown is really nice. Has a good hotel bar that stays open late. And the neighborhood it is in, Mt. Vernon is not only cool but walkable, has restaurants, museums, coffeehouses, and neat architecture. It's close to Ottobar too.

Maybe so. The one chart from Md Board of Ed they include in the article shows that the average in the city is 7% proficient in math. I guess some schools could be at 0% and others higher since it is an average. Pretty bad. Even the highest scoring county in the state, Carroll, only managed to teach 38% of their students to a proficient level.

Not trolling I am genuinely interested in your point. Are you saying since it's a Fox news story there are really fewer than 23 schools that have no students proficient in math? If so how much do you think they are lying. Two schools, ten, all proficient?

The Nittany and Bald Eagle Railroad still operates in the area. They are part of the North Shore Railroad System. The closest they ever get to Penn State is probably their line along Logan Run out past the Nittany Mall. Not surprising you never heard them over the sound of you turning pages and studying hard.

You are correct. The trains from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh follow the Keystone Corridor. Trackage was originally laid down by a number of railroads including the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, the Harrisburg, Portsmouth, Mount Joy and Lancaster Railroad, and others. Then through acquisition it became the Pennsylvania Railroad main line. Then Penn Central, then Conrail, then CSX and Norfolk Southern through various sales, mergers, and breakups. There is freight track running north from Tyrone through Port Matilda which is on the other side of a mountain from State College. Amtrak I guess figured it was not profitable to run a train there so Tyrone to State College is served by and Amtrak Bus line instead.

Clickbait nonsense. It’s a data center that will lease some space for mining, among other things. It will use up to 48 megawatts of electric from the same grid a 2500 megawatt nuclear power plant is connected to somewhat near by. But hey. Got me to click.

Sometimes referred to as Sale Burgers in southern pa because they were common at church bizarres, public sales and the like. The burgers I know of were half cooked in a frying pan or flat-top then stacked in crock pots or steamer trays. Sauce was ketchup thinned down 1:2 with water and seasoned with a little each of mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced onion, vinegar, salt, pepper, and sugar. Then they stewed for a while in the liquid.

By market share they trade back and forth with WYPR. And neither of them have near what the adult hits stations have.

Just means they are usually the biggest News/Talk station in the market, generally respected, they carry public announcements, national broadcasts, etc. In Baltimore they have the biggest listenership in their format. Kind of like being the Washington Post of local radio.

Good. Maybe they will swing back towards center. Like it or not they are the news radio station of record for Baltimore and they should (IMHO) try to maintain some sense of balance.

I hate to lose good wetlands but the land there now is better than it was before. The contractors capped over contaminated soil that had been polluted with years of industrial waste and was leaching into the Patapsco river. The fill used was certified clean fill. So they basically made new clean land where old dirty land used to be. The "creek" that is now in a culvert is tidal. It used to lead to a mill where ravens stadium is.

The project also required filling an acre and a half of wetlands and burying 300 feet of a creek in a culvert. They even had to "make" the land to build it on! All under MDE supervision.
