Reply to comment by shrugsnotdrugs in My experience getting my roof redone in Baltimore by PowBoomZing
He made the same comment to me after the roof he installed caused a huge leak in my house the day after installation. Especially bad because my girlfriend at the time was Mexican and standing right next to me. He also got mad at me for being upset that the new completed roof already caused a worse leak than my old one ever did only one day after it was completed. Thankfully, I haven't had leaks in awhile but it took a long time to have peace of mind. Would love to learn about some roofers who aren't slimeballs. Seems pretty rare.

I've used HVAC Direct for my heating and cooling and they've been great.

Never went to it before it was in Station North. It's possible that he has just gotten better. I tried a bunch of the plates there and everything was great. I do feel like the non-meat parts of the dishes are the best parts, though.

Foraged is a fantastic restaurant, so I'm glad it's getting recognition. Some of the best food I've ever eaten I've had there.

Things have seemed pretty lively to me in Station North/Old Goucher/Charles Village areas.

Agreed, they shouldn't be on the sidewalk. We as a city need to invest more in bike/scooter infrastructure so we can avoid this conflict point. In some places, riding on the sidewalk is the only safe option for the scooter operator.

I've heard similar stories. Hopefully it'll get better once people are more familiar with the set up but I'm not holding my breath.

The funny thing is that Central Ave is never congested; at least from my experience navigating through Harbor East at rush hour.

I think it can be bro-y at times. I feel like most of it only really shows up on weekend nights for the bars. My street is mostly young professionals and young families (30s), though it's closer to Fort Ave than to Cross St.

I see. Still have to go down Paper Mill? I was imagining Shawan and York Rd, which would be pretty scary haha.

Which light rail stop do you get off at to access the NCR trail? Hunt Valley always seemed a bit of a dangerous ride to get to the start to me. Is there a safe way to get there?
