I have lived here a long time. I kinda know a couple of people on the Board, knew about others indirectly. They're not getting rich from this.

I have dealt with the board on little issues before, they helped.

I guess if this is a pissing contest between the board and the Howard Hughes Corp., I'm believing the people who live here.

I think there is a lot of money to be made in development around here. Who stands to make it?

Well, this is interesting. I keep wondering what the hell was really going on? I don't know if this is the story or not, but I do think that money had to have something to do with all the turmoil.

Can tugs tow it to Tampa? Seems perilous, but I am not knowledgeable.

If you're called Jersey Mike's, you'd better have a good cheesesteak!

I think they do.

So, you're not from around here?

That's been my experience as well. Done right beats done bad and cheap.

The Baltimore Colts.

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind...

That's Baltimore for you. So many different neighborhoods, but a street can be like a border.

Good idea.

Knotty Pine Emporium?

From the Hollywood Reporter--

"writer Bill Scheft, a longtime friend of the actor, told The Hollywood Reporter. “He had lots of health issues, and his last words were, ‘Fuck you, motherfucker"

With Agnew it was always cash. Mainly just bags of cash, that way no paper trail.

Yep, I dropped a buck in his collection. Liked the music anyway.

Are they writing tickets? I hate saying this, but I hope they are.

What I don't get is where are they? Since the pandemic began, traffic enforcement, at least to my eyes, is almost non-existent! I mean the last two Sunday mornings maniacs have tried to run me off the road.

The highways, main roads, everywhere I go are like the wild west. And traffic fatalities have been up for the last few years even though volume is down.

Weird all around.

Wasn't ours. It was a gift from our nephew to our son. Nephew is his Godfather and a big deal in Hollywood. It fell into disrepair over the years of his childhood. We fixed it up later and sent it up to him when he grew up.

We had a somewhat valuable movie poster (original Star Wars signed by George Lucas) repaired and framed at this place in Catonsville.

We were told it is the finest in the area, but it was not cheap. You needed to make an appointment.

You got to know where you are in Baltimore. Many variables. If you work remotely, I can tell you places that are great, prices, neighborhood, and safety.

If you have to go to work there, it gets complicated. I have spent a life between the two cities. I love them both.

You want advice, looking for a house, PM maybe I can give you a lead.

When I worked a L'Enfant Plaza, years ago, I saw new nice townhouses built around um, 7th Street SW? Showed them to my wife one time, we dreamed what must it be like to have that much money.

Then again, our first house, a 50's era rowhouse just north of Baltimore, cost us $67,500. Loved that house, brick and block, slate roof. You could walk standing up in the attic.

Old style DC row houses. These specific materials are outdated or too expensive now.

Now we get "Towne Houses."

Culture wars and "owning the libs" is all they have. Emotional symbolism without any substance is the game they play.

You cut the grass with your paramour.

There is no traffic enforcement anywhere these days. It gives folks license to speed and ignore all traffic laws. Used to be a speed trap on 29 almost daily, north above the 100 interchange often, and south just below the rise in the road around 175. I never see it any more.

I never see any police on the roads anywhere. Since the pandemic it seems to have stopped.

Try driving in Baltimore it gets even crazier.
