Harris Teeter's HCB are surprisingly good for a grocery store bakery. I've seen them at Wegmans as well.

After having an OSB roof disintegrate and blow off without warning this past spring, I'm a firm believer that "allowed" isn't always synonymous with "best."

There's a cobbler stall in Lexington Market.

I've seen the same thing in listings for much less expensive rehabs and new construction. I am starting to think it's purely for photos/staging to make the bathroom look larger and less cluttered. The assumption is that the buyer will add a shower curtain.

The title says "daughter"?

The most important thing to know about Baltimore rowhouses is there's never a simple answer.

In most rowhouses the brick party wall goes to the roofline and can serve as a firewall. However, there is some older stock where the party wall doesn't go all the way to the roof and the houses share a small crawl space. In some houses (like mine) there are spots in the wall where there is wood embedded, so the wall isn't solid brick.

Looks like Kelley Gardens in Fells Point has one in stock right now. https://www.kelleygardens.org/product/bird-of-paradise-10inch-local-md-only-/345

If you're in Baltimore City, you can look up any permits issued for your address here. https://cels.baltimorehousing.org/Search_TM_MAP.aspx

What kind of street parking? I'm very unlikely to drive/park anywhere there's RPP or 2hr meters for something like a makerspace or event.

That trike is a lot.

One of the hulks in the shallows is the remains of the Emma Giles, a paddlewheel ferry that provided service from Baltimore up and down the Bay. There's also at least one WWII era ferrocement ship in the area.

Here's a presentation from the state's underwater archaeologist: https://youtu.be/c8KTuvPr1Q4

In the last one of these, they presented Harris Teeter as selling butter for almost twice the price of other grocery stores, but they compared a name brand at HT against house brands at the other stores. If you compared HT's house brand against Giant's and Safeway's house brands, HT was not any more expensive.

This was something I was able to fact-check on the stores' websites in less than 10 minutes. I even confirmed it in person the next day by going to my local Harris Teeter and buying butter. So I'm not sure they're interested in fair comparisons.

It was open for 20 years, so I'm not sure it's fair to say it "failed." As for why nothing has happened with that spot, the economy isn't exactly conducive to opening a restaurant or coffee shop right now. Costs are extremely high, employees are hard to find, and customers just aren't going out as much as they did 3 years ago.

Exactly. There's enough audience out there to support a variety of adult venues and co-locating them for walkability makes sense. Done right it attracts both locals and tourists.

It's both. I would love to see it revitalized into a vibrant adult entertainment area, I'm just not sure how to do that.
