I’m thinking about Gunther. I have a friend who had a bad experience on a MegaBus, so not going with that company.

You guys are awesome. Please keep posting your finds.

The Wharf is also all private property including the streets and pedestrian streets off Maine Ave, which can cause issues sometimes…

Dunno how you define “local vendor”, but Wegmans up in Hunt Valley usually has some nice live ones

Thanks for the link. I hope he can pull it off!

You paid for it, he needs to give you the code.

The house next to mine is rented. The dude owns 6 rental properties and changed all his doors recently to the keypads because he was tired of changing locks and dealing with people losing their keys. I'm not saying you are in the clear, but there is a rational reason for this.

Stripmalls are deader than dead. If you use DC's The Wharf as a template, luxury residential, hotel, and boutique retail/eateries work. It helps if you have a concert venue. Not really a fan myself because the eateries are overpriced trash, but the tourists seem to like it and the place is always packed. In the case of Harborplace, a decent food hall with lots of local options would attract local dollars.

Discussion from last week

Oh absolutely! Plus the exam rooms are really nice! There’s chairs for the humans and castles for the kitties to play in, they’re spacious and quiet and good for nervous animals.

Even if we have zero experience or equipment, is it ok just to hang out and see what you all pull up? I'm insanely curious!

I love the Cat Hospital in Towson! They have a very quiet waiting room and the staff are pleasant and helpful to talk to.

I really like the people at Belvedere Veterinary Center--my pets and I are out of the Baltimore area through the summer, and while the vets where we are now are very nice, I miss the staff at Belvedere. I was going to name one or two of the vets there to recommend, but honestly, all four are great.

Local (Baltimore native) developer bought it. Claims he wants to make it more enticing and maybe more in line with the local-attraction stuff it had back in the day. People are somewhat optimistic since there’s no way it can get worse.

I love this comment. The overall vibe there is that you and your pets are seen as individuals, and not just numbers.

Thank you! Just looked them up on Google Maps. That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Along with the other suggestions, upstairs at Rowhouse and Riverside Taphouse (both in Fed Hill/Sobo) will do private party events. Usually there's a minimum spend that you have to meet, but with 20 people eating/drinking that shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise it's just like having your own private bar. Food at both places is great too!

I want to second You’ll Never Walk Alone. My cat got very sick last year and they took incredible are of her. They didn’t push any unnecessary tests or treatment which I’ve come to expect at most vets these days.

The part that really impressed me were the follow up calls I received after our visit to make sure that the treatment was working. Even my own PCP doesn’t do that.

I have a dog but second evergreen, great environment and really nice staff

I’ve been to events upstairs at chasseur in Highlandtown, and Alexander’s and Koopers in Fells. Not sure about fees
