I'm not sure how to do it in Chrome, but I imagine they have similar functionality. In Firefox, you can right click on the image and select "Open image in new tab". The images are about 3x the size they appear on the web page.

And yeah, crappy web design, CBS.

We were visiting Philly a few years ago, and immediately tied into this fantastic little cafe called Function in South Philly. When they found out we were visiting from Baltimore, they were sure to mention that all their baristas had trained at Ceremony.

Now that you mention it, I've yet to see a dirt bike on a wooded trail in Druid. They seem to prefer to turf the ball field near the Susquehannock Pavilion in Druid Hill.

I feel like it's taken me a longer than it should have to get the "Zen" of driving. Once you learn to manage your expectations about how fast you're going drive, and how the driving experience is going to be, you're less upset about the usual driving annoyances. Some people really seem to get hung up on that stuff, or take crazy chances for the privilege of sitting at the next red light.

It doesn't matter how long the sentence is, if charges are never brought in the first place.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is real, for sure.

Put it this way: I live within walking distance of Ottobar, and definitely have been to places that feel uncomfortable. Ottobar and the immediate area isn't one of them.

In terms of absolute numbers, yes. Per capita, the more meaningful metric, it's often lower. There's a lot of people in Towson, most going about their day like normal people.

I think we had some pretty shocking numbers of incidents requiring a police response on the highway a year or two ago. 1200 in the space of a year jumps to mind. I'll be curious to see the follow-up report on that.

I've tried this in the past since that's my closest dropoff. If you have anything that looks like building debris, you're booted out immediately.

This. Make it easy to do the right thing, and hard and/or painful to do the wrong thing.

It feels really weird to "rate" a neighborhood. It's the same weird feeling when Google Maps asks me to rate a park.

If there are actual problems to be identified, maybe we can work on those, instead of treating them like they've served soggy french fries, and the waiter was rude. Sorry you were disappointed that a neighborhood that was literally where redlining was invented hasn't met your standard of compelling nightlife.

Great example of how we need to break the spirit of the folks who drive in Baltimore. The sense of entitlement must be palpable in the kind of person who won't even slow down at an intersection with a non-functional traffic light.

Also great example, of how poorly maintained our infrastructure is. I get the feeling that other cities aren't plagued by constantly failing traffic lights.

Not that that helps either. I'm amazed at people who will just sail through a blinking red. Like do you want to get t-boned?

Well, if we're going that far, why not just prevent cars from going over the speed limit in the first place?

I kinda want to see the trebuchet, though ;)

To be fair, MagLev would benefit very few of us. The tickets will be too expensive, the trains too far apart, and last I heard, it terminates at Camden Yards, with no plan to expand northeast. I'd be all about having an $8-$10 ride to D.C. that takes half an hour with more train options than a $30-$60 ride to D.C. that takes 15 minutes with fewer train options.

Pilots have this term called "get-home-itis". I'm already here, and I just have to get over there, I just need to get home.

It reminds me of those foolish, foolish people who drive into water they can't see the bottom of.

Would you happen to have any more information on that? Looking around, I'm seeing these two photos.

This post claims 1915: https://blogs.ubalt.edu/skemp/history-of-the-jones-falls/

"The Jones Falls from just upstream of Penn Station to the Inner Harbor at the location of the present National Aquarium was placed in three massive tunnels and is still there today. Dedicated in 1915, the Jones Falls Conduit solved the problems of flooding for the downtown area and removed what had been a polluted cesspool from view."
