Awesome, I was looking for wings this past weekend and canceling out those things from the score šŸ˜‚

Also, I am a bit surprised with your Claddaghs score.

One last suggestion: value? Whether it is a ā€œspecial priceā€ or the regular price, I think there is some value in the information on either. 30 wings for $28 at Claddaghs on game days are pretty awesome

She also used victims of police violenceā€™s families, like Tyrone Westā€™s, as props in her campaign, then once she was elected never lifted a finger to hold those cops accountable and quit taking family membersā€™ calls.

The police in the Freddie Gray case were never held accountable, because she charged them so stupidly. And we never got that video footage from Mondawmin, where many people from the scene say the rioting actually began by cops penning in and taunting high school students.

Once she was in, after her show trials, she gave up entirely on trying to hold cops accountable.

The convenience and overall quality of the restaurant itself are not counted in the score. Unweighted tie breaking purposes.

​

But you're right, I need to update the preamble.

These are known as "Swell Front" row houses. As the front of the house bulges out. The corbeling out (bricks stepped out) along the top cornice of the building is very common in Wash DC houses, not so much in Balt.

Reply to Exile Fitness - Question about Membership and Location by eight-hundred

Isnā€™t this the gym that was started by some skinhead/white nationalist where they use this gym to recruit members?

I went to middle/high school and graduated with the owners of Grind, Anthony Zangara and Nick Nueman I know neither of them are racist running a secret White nationalist recruiting gym.

Yup it is.

One comment: I think you need to have a score with and without convenience. Smaltimore getting a 2 for convenience but another restaurant getting a 5 could result in a pretty large swing all other things constant.

With a large budget, you have your pick of the prime neighborhoods in Baltimore imo. Probably Roland Park, Evergreen, north-centrally located neighborhoods like that with yards, lots of greenery, and the good elementary schools people always talk about on here. Mount Washington may be an option, too.

Of those, I would choose Mount Washington personally.

My mistake.

"Mosby claimed to have experienced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to withdraw from the city's Deferred Compensation Plan on two separate occasions, receiving $40,000 and $50,000.

But documents show she continued to receive her full salary during the pandemic, which was a gross salary in 2020 of $247,955.58 and it was never reduced: "Rather than experiencing a reduction in income in 2020, Mosby's gross salary in 2020 increased over her gross salary in 2019, which was $238,772.04," the indictment states."
