Reply to comment by No-Lunch4249 in A reminder that "light rail" (as a concept) and "The Light Rail" (that we have) are not synonymous by gaiusjuliusweezer

It also doesn't really go anywhere special. I find it convenient sometimes, and use it when I can, but it just follows 83 so there's no real motivation to use it unless you're going to some place like the stadiums where parking is a challenge.

I wish it was a network, and I wish it made it easier to get places I hate driving, like Columbia.

Reply to Wi-Fi at jury duty by Gullil

I remember when the city published the salary of the CISO, there was outrage that he was making too much. Well let me say that whatever number they announced (I think it was around 200k) was absolute garbage for a comparable position as an executive in the cybersecurity space. Everyone flipped out, cause he was making more than the mayor, but this is what it looks like when you underfund an IT/Cybersecurity team. You get unskilled administrators who use shit tools and make shit decisions. They're probably using some basic filtering. You can probably bypass it by installing a VPN on your computer, like NordVPN, Private Internet Access, etc. And you should be using one anyway if you're on their wifi, and in general.

That’s great! I don’t want to totally sugar coat the city, crime is an issue too and you do have to be aware of it. Be aware of your surroundings and know where you’re going before you explore. But despite its problems, this city is amazing IMO. I think the people here are genuine and caring and it’s a wonderful place. Cheers!

This is an awesome gallery. I just wanna re emphasize Bike Party because it’s such an incredible and inclusive event. Also just start checking Facebook because I feel like there’s something awesome going on every weekend all spring, summer and fall. The city puts on so many awesome events it’s hard to keep up. Welcome to Baltimore! I hope you love it as much as I do :-)

Reply to comment by umbligado in With towing reform shot down by the City Council, high fees and aggressive practices will continue in Baltimore by mindfulminx

Not to mention the damage towing improperly does to your car. I had to pay a drop fee in Towson to Pollards towing, stopping them from pulling my front wheel drive car by its rear wheels (parked head in). And I saw a Jeep wrangler being dragged at Greenwoods on all 4 wheels which were screeching as the wheels moved across the garage floor. The fine is bad, but the damage the tow trucks can do to your car if they carelessly tow you can total it.
