I feel that. My grands lived on Bethel next to H&S. Their house was torn down several years back so I can't even drive past and get the memory flood.

Fffffff Ostrowski's. Even my distant self knows of that place, and despite not ever going, I dislike the fact that they're gone.

See this is what happens when I'm separated from the culture. My parents are both Polish but I wasn't raised with any sort of pride in that culture, so I had no idea these places existed.

Thanks a ton.

Thanks for the additional suggestions! I'll get on the horn tomorrow and see what's what.

THANK YOU. I'll be traveling past there that afternoon, so that's perfect.

How's the parking situation? I've never been.

I am aghast. I am agog.

I like'em. :) And they're subtle.

A tip.

Get some Badges Of Ownership. They're free for Subaru owners - the go by your VIN. This'll help you identify yours without wallpapering it with stickers.

The person I spoke to at Verizon laughed when I asked them if they'd be coming into my neighborhood.

Only if you're fortunate enough to live where FiOS exists. Satellite is terrible.

Yep.

We use A.J.Michaels for everything now. I couldn't get Saffer or Michael and Sons to call me back when we had a leak in my bathroom pipes or when my boiler was red tagged by BGE Home.

Don't call BGE Home, btw. They're awful.

Smyth in Timonium has been good for us. A friend swears by the Nusinov's in Parkville, while my parents love the Nusinov's in Monkton.

Look at Hyde Park. It's pretty secluded and quiet.

I believe my friend got started through this forum.

Yeah I know...I don't want it. Got places to be.

I wrote this on Facebook that day: "Meteorologist called this the storm that just won't leave."

I quite remember it. The dog was NOT HAPPY.

As long as it calms the hell down by the end of March, I concur.

AHHA! Okay, we did interact. :)

For real.

I THINK I saw you! Did you stop by the booth with all the embroidered purses?

Will be at Richmond GalaxyCon. Undecided if I'm dressing up - working a friend's booth.

The guest list at that one's pretty fantastic, I suggest making the trip.

(My last cosplays were for Baltimore Comic Con before the pandemic - I was genderbent Beetlejuice on Sunday and cartoon Lydia on Saturday. Nobody recognized Lydia but everyone recognized BJ. :D )

I buy like 2 little tubs of it whenever it's on sale. It's FANTASTIC with Utz Sourdough Specials pretzels. Throw in a little cured meats and you've got a good lunch.

ah, memories. sometimes i recreate that little tableau of cheese and various snacky cracker things.
