I live in White Marsh, my address says Rosedale, and I tell people I live in the Baltimore area. When I get asked where I’m from I say Maryland. If they want more specifics I say I’m from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. My family has lived there since the 1660’s. I will always be an Eastern Shoresman. It’s who I am no matter where I live.

If you’re a Baltimorean at heart then let that be good enough. You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. Just be you.

So why does this person get to tell you where you’re from? It’s not up to them. YOU can own your identity. Don’t let someone else own who you are.

That’s a mental hangup. You are the only one that can name what is important to you and you can decide your identity. It’s not something that can be, or even needs to be, fixed. It’s all in how you perceive yourself.

If you want to identify as someone “from” Baltimore, what is stoping you?

The fact that there is a Mt Anything in Florida boggles the mind. Thanks for sharing! I will seek it out!

Where!?

Got it. Thanks for the additional info.

Can you explain what time means?

Good instincts.

They will ripen on their own, but it takes awhile. You can pop them in the oven (unpeeled) at 300° for 20 minutes. That will yield a similar result.

Good point and fair enough. You’re right, you and OP are on the same page. So…got any suggestions for them?

Edit: pronoun change

Your idea of “romantic” is wildly different than many in this thread. That’s okay, but it’s not going to win you a popularity contest here. You do you, but I wouldn’t say the people disagreeing with you are downers. They just have a more intimate/private idea of what constitutes a romantic evening.

Fiesta Mexicana in Rosedale!

Never heard of such. Looks interesting.

I’ve been on a cabbage kick lately! What all you got going on there?

Quit picking up my screws!

Fair enough.

These gif responses are doing you no favors on Reddit.

Okay, well what color does the Bible say Jesus is? Blond hair and blue eyes? I’ve got an M.Div. I’ll wait.

Fuck off. It’s not in the least.

And I’m working on not being an ass in my comments. I failed in that and I apologize.

Is there any other scenario you could think of where this would be the end result?

Ding ding ding ding.

Maybe. I just assume Baltimore and surrounding areas are implied especially when we get posts about stuff in the county all the time.

The Avenue in White Marsh is made for dates. Movie theater, restaurants, ice rink right now, and it’s nice just to walk around in too.

Just a thought.

Edit: Apparently this was not a good suggestion. Anyone care to say why rather than just downvoting me?

Get yourself a proper crab there, Santa!
