Perfectly safe.

Kohls has reasonably priced jerseys. I got like 4 that way. Wieters, Markakis, Jones and Machado.

AFAIK they have off season hours still at the team store. They just aren’t everyday and for the whole day. At least before Covid they did.

Ordered my wife a Rutschman jersey for her birthday from MLB.com/orioles.com

Is it wrapped? As in plastic wrapping going all the way up the walls leading to plastic waffle board into the French drain?

Is your basement properly waterproofed already?

It will definitely be a change of pace, but a good one to experience. Especially childless in your 20s. I grew up in the city, moved to the burbs for high school and college and then moved back to the city after college. It was an adjustment for sure but one that I’m glad I made. I love living a car light lifestyle and if I didn’t work in construction, would live a car free lifestyle. Living in a dense, walkable, mixed use neighborhood means everything is within a short walking/biking radius to me. No more dealing with traffic, frankly being forced to drive to the burbs on occasion now is just stress inducing. And because the he neighborhood we live in has been improving for the last 20 years, now we have 2 fantastic schools here (that frankly are better than most of the schools in the burbs) so now staying here even with kids is a quality proposition.

Plenty of air bnb places in Baltimore city. Y’all could spend a week just trying different neighborhoods out.

Yeah Cockeysville is like families and people in their 50s-70s. We have rowhouse neighborhoods that would give you a bit of space and not put you in a high rise. Canton, Fells Point, upper Fells point, patterson Park all have close access to patterson park which is one of the largest parks in the city. They’re also walkable areas with bars/restaurants/entertainment. Canton/brewers Hill has many grocery stores and shopping (including big chains) much to my dismay, there is a suburban style shopping center here called Canton Crossing so y’all could still have that.

I was just there 10 days ago, they had 2 sours on the menu I think. It was good beer, but not many choices. Hopefully they’ll rotate some more on.

I hope not. I like the little pocket of breweries going on there. And Waverly has the best selection of sours around there.

Yes it’s a crazy idea. But I like the outside the box thinking. We should use it for a subway line. Maybe cap it and build some mixed use building and parks on it.

Agreed, but I think if we’re going to progress forward as a city and not languish, we need to change that. If people are blank slate moving here, I want to lead them towards living a car lite or even car free life here and maximize their experience/life here.

If he’s working in Cherry Hill, anywhere near the Light Rail is a pretty good idea. Mount Vernon, Woodbury or Mount Washington would be within a 30 min ride to work. OP, check out those 3 neighborhoods. You can get a room/hotel for a weekend in all 3. I’d suggest since the location of your job allows it (proximity to the light rail) that you not frustrate yourself and look outside of neighborhoods not on the light rail. Auto traffic and parking here in other neighborhoods off the light rail are absolutely rage inducing. You can easily live a car lite lifestyle at the very least with a job in Cherry hill. Your stress levels will be much lower and you’ll probably enjoy this city much more when you aren’t having wild swings in time spent in traffic and searching for parking.

That doesn’t mean that the people who work for Catholic charities aren’t great, helpful, dedicated people. I know quite a few and they do a lot of good.

A lot of good ones listed. CASA is another great one.

Driving cars brings out the worst in people.

Have you priced St Brigid’s apartments at Hudson and S east Ave? They were supposed to be pretty affordable for the area.

I have no idea if the price is good as I have owned in the area for many years, but it’s nice that the parking is optional and they don’t force everyone to buy it even if they don’t have a car.

Is a car a necessity for you or could you live with some combination of Ubers, scooters, bike, water taxi, bus or rail?

Yeah you picked probably the best area for walkability. Also, the light rail, Amtrak, subway, bike lanes all accessible from Mt Vernon. You can even take the light rail from BWI into Mt Vernon if you’re flying in. No need to rent a car or even catch an Uber for that.

There are single family areas in Baltimore, but most of them wouldn’t dare allow duplexes and apartments. I’ll be honest, I’m not a fan of single family zoning. Single family homes pay far less in property taxes per sqft than apartments, duplexes, row homes and towers. Single family zoning also prevents walkable neighborhoods. You can easily find a walkable neighborhood with bars, restaurants, stores, libraries, medical, etc within walking distance, but they’re not going to include single family homes by and large. Baltimore is going to be row home neighborhoods when walkable. There are neighborhoods like that that also have access to trains/public transit and bike lanes. The neighborhoods near Penn Station are probably the best for this mix.

It’s a densely populated area. The more dense a population the more propensity for crime?

Stony Run trail is inside Baltimore, not much elevation gain but it’s nice.

Yep. IIRC, it’s required by state law.

Accidents are down since they installed them.
