You have to be careful. Sometimes updating the public record can result in an increased tax assessment.

I work for an amorphous government entity (that's not Baltimore City DOT).

Did you sign up for the Clean Choice Energy Option with BGE? Because I have download the app but it says since I have a different supplier they don’t have the information to give me daily use measurements.

No, Hampden needs more frequent transit.

If it’s anything regarding distribution or production, then health-based social organizations aren’t where to look. But it’s good that you were asking about alternatives.

“The average residential electric bill will increase by $2.97 per month and the average residential natural gas bill will increase by $3.08 per month.” Doesn’t seem accurately represented here 😂

Ah yes, because a meth lab can’t explode or poison you unless it tries to sell you drugs.

Glad you’re not anti weed and recognize that there’s some serious drugs out there like heroine and crack.

My bill was only through 12/20 before the cold hit and was still $116 for a single person in a 2 bedroom (with new windows) keeping the thermostat at 67/65°. It’s wild.

But you were. I am going to ask around some more. I can get those steps looking like new in many cases. I don’t think that I would have to suggest a minimum donation. People would be so happy!

What did you order and what in your opinion could be improved? Is it the flavor or portion size or price?

People standing across the street on the corners early morning into the night. Going into a boarded up house. Been watching it for the last year. Won't report it since it's several blocks away from me. As well as knowing that Baltimore PD is good at sitting and watching this shit, not actually busting them. They literally sit in front of a corner store that is a front for trafficking but seem to enjoy just watching the show. So yah if you can somehow get the right peoples attention that might be a start.

Absolutely no and I’ll never be over that turning of the parking lot in front of Ekiben to paid parking.

I think that’s cool! I could be an outlier, but I would be down. Not in Hampden anymore though :/

Maybe you have a really rosy view of the financial standing of most did service workers. They can't just bear the brunt of a bunch of non tippers without missing a car payment or not being able to pay tuition, etc.
From 20+ years of restaurant work, I can tell you that at least half of the waitstaff is living week to week on the tips they make. Switching jobs temporarily interrupts that income stream and is a financial hardship.
It's a nuanced topic, but at the end of the day we really do have a standing expectation that servers are paying their bills with the tips that diners give them. When you choose not to tip a server, in a roundabout way you're committing wage theft. That should not be on you as the diner, but it is the reality that we're all living in, and have been for decades.
Advocate for better wages, choose restaurants that are transparent about their charges, hype up restaurants that give their staff health insurance and pay a living wage, just don't use your irritation about a hidden fee as an excuse to not tip.

Yep, heat pumps are amazing technology. It's a shame that so many people don't understand their benefits and overemphasize their weaknesses. That's part of the reason why people end up over-relying on space heaters and actually do more harm than good.

Reply to Does the Avenue in Hampden need more parking? by Ghoghogol
No, it needs a city link route. The avenue is a super popular destination. It’s insane that it’s not accessible by transit 24/7
