yeah, it's crazy how bad many city government systems are (not just baltimore). the US Conference of Mayors should really pool together to contract the creation of tools for handling basic city functions. or maybe the federal government should do it.

Go to the TV repair place in Pasadena where 10 intersects with 2. It's good. Just the kind of old school electronics repair guy you want doing this kind of stuff.

Heya! I’m an Aussie and I’ve been in Baltimore for almost 9 years. It is a pretty charming city in lots of ways. Quirky and artistic. Most things are affordable and there is lots to do. That said, it was still a shock in moving from Australia. It doesn’t have as much of an outdoorsy lifestyle as you might be used to. I really miss the nature of Australia, even now. America is a more challenging place to live in lots of ways, particularly if you don’t have good health insurance or social/support structures. There are a lot fewer safety nets than you’re probably used to.
If you do decide to move over and want a contact with someone else from the Antipodes, reach out! Happy to help and be a connection.

Thanks. The SPCA said they'll take them.

Whatever they’re trying to accomplish, it’s not working.

Yay, I’m excited! Thanks for your 2 cents, it’s nice to get insight from someone who’s been on both sides. Also I just woke up from night shift and you’re the one breaking the news to me about Jacinda, wtf!!

That's not really a thing here, honestly. Closer to Fells, maybe.

Can’t say without knowing at least what some of the help is that they need. I know they charge a diagnostic fee though which goes toward the cost of the repair should you opt to repair

What type of price (roughly) are we looking at to repair? Reasonable? Or just go buy something different? I know it’s dependent on the problem, but I’d rather not pay $150 to fix a volume knob, that type of thing.

Oh there's definitely a lot going on in Baltimore, but if you find there isn't enough, you can always spend a weekend in New York City or Washington DC, both are close. BTW just right now saw the news about Ardern, that was a surprise!

That’s awesome you spent time in NZ! Thanks for your input. Do you feel like Baltimore is busier than NZ cities? Part of the reason I’m sick of NZ is because the city life feels so boring, like there’s never anything really exciting going on.

I had to do this once. I needed a police report for an insurance claim. The officer who filed the report gave me a note with the report number on it and a number to call to get the report.
I called the number, and it was just a voice message with instructions to mail the request (and a list of what the request needed to include) as well as a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a check.
Honestly, what the fuck? If you can't put this process on a website, at least put the instructions on a website! God damn.

I don’t think street parking will be a challenge, especially if you are willing to walk a block or two.

Are any of the parking lots/garages decent around that area?

Far too often victims of crime are revictimized by the system. Takes either media attention or councilperson involvement to make waves.

Seconded. May take a few weeks but they do good work.

7:30 PM? It will be tight, but you'll find something if you keep circling. Weeknights are much better than Fridays and Saturdays. Also Boston St should have spots after rush hour.

I'm local, but have spent a bit of time in Wellington so can compare. Baltimore is about, I'd say about half over again larger than Wellington but not as big as Auckland. There's tons to do, great food, nightlife, bars, etc. NZ is more expensive than the US in general and Baltimore is cheaper than US cities like NYC/SFO/WDC so your money should go further. Baltimore is a maritime city so that should be familiar should you choose to take advantage of those activities. The city is also quite international with Johns Hopkins being a magnet to students and researchers the world over. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the crime aspect. Having said that I'll let you do your own research on that topic. But in spite of that it is a vibrant city with plenty for a young person, or a person of any age, to do.

Eddie's grocery stores usually have an endcap of some locally made gifts.
