Check out Monarch Mills, they seem to be a great price around $1850. Hard to get into though, units go by quick.

Check out Huntington Square in Columbia. There is a huge Soccer field attached where a lot of dogs play. There is a big trail attached, 4 or 5 mile trail that goes into the woods. It’s a small and pleasant community.

Clary's crossing in Columbia is an amazing and safe apartment. It has a nice dog park and a good sidewalk loop nearby to walk and run on. But in general the apartments in the hickory ridge area have dog parks and are very safe.

I saw a relatively new 500k+ townhouse (and this was 6 years ago) with a newly remodeled kitchen... and the stove was on an outside wall, with a vent going outside, and the hood was just installed wrong so the air circulated. After installing a new fan over my stove, I now know exactly what they had done wrong, and it was pure laziness (not even cost).

What is the class you are taking?
I'm gonna skip out on tonight as well, caught a cold last week (not covid) and need to get some rest/sleep.

Same, been here for 2 years. It’s pretty solid and reasonably priced, quite too

Jailbreak, which was once quite good now stinks after their top brewers left.

I am a Columbia resident and a member of Friends of Latin America. We are a Columbia-based community organization based on raising awareness of issues the people of Latin America are facing and the U.S.'s role in them. The event is taking place in the Howard County part of Laurel, where other Columbia-based organizations hold similar actions. On the contrary, this is very deeply rooted in Columbia!

This has nothing to do with Columbia. I'm reporting this post.

No problem, good to hear back from you! I can't make HCLibrary tonight, since my German class meets on Tuesdays of all things, but I definitely look forward to the WLC meetup on Thursday, 11/10! I'm gonna see if I can get anyone else from my German class to show up too. :D

They also have a 24 hours gym and common area that is great during bad weather.

I live at the Verde at Howard Square and I really like it. A nice townhouse neighborhood next door, close to 95, and I feel safe as a single woman.

The Bluffs at Fairway. Amenities are basic but less flimsy than a lot of newer construction. Neighborhood excellent- rent increase for this year was also incredibly modest compared to just about everything else in the area.

Price is a really important consideration

I lived in the Sherwood Crossing apartments in Elkridge a number of years ago. They're behind the shopping center with Costco/Trader Joe's. Nice enough neighborhood. It's a big complex for walking, and I used to pop over into the trailer park just down the street or other neighborhoods to run.

I really enjoyed my 6+ years at The Elms at Kendall Ridge!
Dog friendly, some nice walking paths right behind it, a small dog park (not the best quality but it's still a fenced in free-play area), and a generally quiet community.

Petitions are certainly a good thing but what we're doing specifically is joining the week of action that is leading up to the UN vote on the blockade of Cuba. This is just one of many actions taking place all over the country, including a rally and march in New York City on the 29th and a rally in DC on November 2nd. You can find a full list on the website.
And you're right, you don't have to be a socialist to support an end to the blockade! The call to action's specific demands are:
·end the blockade against Cuba ·tale Cuba off Washington's list of state sponsors of terrorism ·End all U.S. anti-Cuba economic and travel sanctions

Reply to End the U.S. Blockade on Cuba! by FranciscoSolanoLopez
Why do this instead of just having a petition for people to sign? Actually I'd like the blockade on Cuba to end. I've signed petitions about it and written letters to various representatives about it. The blockade is just this relic of the Cold War and it's keeping the economy of the whole Caribbean down. Probably Mexico too. I think the blockade is perpetuating the situation in Cuba. But asking for the blockade to end because you love socialism is crazy. Ask for it to end because you love free trade and capitalism. All of those other members of the UN see a potential economic powerhouse, a former economic powerhouse that could be vital again. A Singapore of the West. They don't want to end the blockade to help the cause of socialism.

This vote is happening in the UN, meaning each country's delegation will be voting on the measure. The US will be outvoted for the 30th time in a row. There's no vote taking place on the blockade in the United States, if that's what you think this is about.

Reply to Kittleman ads on TV by GingerMan027
Not racism, just politics. Negative ads tend to take data or soundbites completely out of context. Both sides do it. Good reason to mute the TV during commercials this time of year.
