It's not great, butt it's the closest to NY pizza in the area IMO.

Is Waterloo good, or is it just gas station pizza good?

Noted. Wife recently discovered her love of Indian food thanks to Royal Taj

Looks like I’m not the only one. 12am revers

"Please do your own research", but completely misunderstood the safest city survey. Less than 5 points out of 100 are COVID related. 30 points out of 100 are natural disaster related (and we are more prone to flooding/hurricanes/tornados than many other regions, so we must have scored pretty damn well in terms of home/financial safety).

Sure, development definitely needs to be slowed, but Kittleman wouldn't have done a damn thing about it (only Liz Walsh and Deb Jung actually care).

Redistricting is also necessary when done correctly. A lot of the complaints come from those who want their child to go to a specific school when there are one or two others that are closer.

It's a pizza joint attached to the Exxon by the mall. Like how some places have a Subway, or R&R Taqeuria was attached to a gas station on Rt 1. I personally don't care for them, but my parents swore by them when they still lived here.

Ah, the pepeloni

One time I ordered chicken tiki pizza from a place, but the person on the phone must've misheard my order because I picked up a plain chicken pizza. I was very sad.

But honestly Maryland as a state needs to really crack down on aggressive driving on every major highway.

Seasons 52 is always a fav for special occasions

My sweetie took me to Elk Ridge Furnace Inn. It was memorable!

Iron Bridge, Furnace Inn, or Tersiguel's

Exxon pizza doesn’t sound particularly appealing lol

Maybe the sign maker is Scottish?

My friend taught at Hammond High School and later switched to Broadneck High School in Anne Arundel County, which is one of the “best” schools there.

When I asked her how she liked teaching at Broadneck, she told me she liked it but that she was shocked by how behind the curriculum in Anne Arundel County was compared to HCPSS schools. She said she was used to students in the grade levels she was teaching having already been through more advanced content than she was teaching them.

HCPSS schools set their students up to be geniuses. Some of the schools serve more disadvantaged students, and you may see lower test scores at those schools compared to test scores at River Hill, Marriotts Ridge, Atholton, and Centennial, but all the schools are equipped with some of the best teachers, the best resources, and numerous opportunities to exceed. The curriculum has very high expectations for students. There are equity and access issues in HCPSS, like any other school district in the country, and they do need to make strides in those areas, but you really can’t beat out HoCo’s quality of life.

Columbia is proof that people with different income levels can live in a thriving area together, rich with opportunities, amenities, and still have safety and top schools. It accomplished something people in other MD counties think is impossible.

Mushrooooms

I got stuck on 29 North last night because it was closed completely following that accident and everyone had to exit at St John’s Lane. Thanks for filling us in on what happened! I’m glad the victims are okay.

Artichooke

Have you tried curry'n'pie? (It's a little far from Columbia, in Elkridge or Catonsville, N on Rt 1.)

By the way, this photo isn't edited beside zooming and cropping. Go to the Exxon at the corner of Little Patuxent Pkwy & Banneker Rd to see it for yourself!

Yeah, I used to work overnight at the food lion right off exit 12, when it was open 27/7 and I’d hear people race all the time. Sometimes they’d stop in and our lot would be full of muscle cars. Cops didn’t seem to care.

I went to Hammond too (over 20 years ago), let's just agree that Oakland Mills or Wilde Lake is actually the worst.

All things said and done though all Hoco schools are decent, even the worst ones. I'd take Wilde Lake over a middle of the pack AA or BC school.

I was trying to think of a sausage joke lol

We’re actually zoned to Hammond and I work with another graduate, who’s a very accomplished professional. Their experience and your experience reinforce what we’re trying for - we’re gonna focus on raising a good kid and let HCPSS turn her into a smart one. Are there things we can do to help? Absolutely. But that’s independent of whatever high school she’s going to.
