Only part you forgot is that right after the go fund me, it came out that Nthe Mosbys had a lien for unpaid taxes to the IRS in the sum of some $20-40k. I believe that Nick also withdrew from his retirement, and he and Marilyn file together - she signed the tax return and claimed that she didn’t know about the lien. This is important because when she bought the vacation HOMES (plural) she attested that she had no liens. This was also fraud (or perjury). She also attested that the home would be a primary residence, which was also a lie, because she was trying to rent them out or some shit.

Great question! My best guess (based on years of work in this industry) is that Baltimore City’s legal department can’t figure out how to legally permit microtrenching, so it’s one of those back-burner things that will never progress beyond “wow, other medium and large-sized cities do this and it’s great for all involved, but we should keep studying it indefinitely [and spend taxpayer dollars to commission a report from a preferred contractor that will result in nothing]”.

My impression is she’s a mean-girl narcissist who always got by on her looks but thinks she earned it. I say narcissist because instead of friends she has fans and followers. She refuses to admit when she is wrong, ever (even when the IRS is like, “hey, this is wrong”) is convinced she’s the smartest person in the room always, obsessed with her image, no empathy for others. I’m sure many many people told her, hey, get an accountant. Hey, we’re lawyers, here’s some charges you could put on the Freddie Gray cops that would stick instead of goofy shit like kidnapping. If she was willing to take advice, she would have been able to wing it even with scant experience, but she would not.

I think there was arrogance, too. Like they are above petty laws and they can do what they want without consequences. It's common with corruption. Pugh and Dixon (and for example Trump on a national level) had the same attitude, like they did what they wanted and how dare you question my actions.

Thank you sir.

I mostly agree with your rankings, however I will independent verify in an attempt to recreate the absolute science here.

Very interested in the Pig & Rooster!

Yeah the last place I recall him reviewing was Little Donna’s, and (I think) it brought them a lot of attention. I just happened to wander by there a little over an hour ago and tried to get a single seat at the bar, but they were booked for the night and had multiple people waiting for bar seating. And I just thought to myself, “good for you guys, seriously”.

Anyone competent would’ve had an accountant deal with the IRS immediately, and taken their accountant’s advice on how to buy condos in a legitimate way, which she could have done if she’d handled her business right in the first place. If she’d had sense and a little humility she would have been fine. But she didn’t want to be bothered with details, or to do the work, she just wanted the praise and the things.

I wouldn't do a neighborhood east of 83 unless you want to pay tolls or don't mind adding 10 or 15 minutes to the commute. Maybe longer in the evenings.

I used to live west of 83, and my commute was better/more predictable (although I was going to Rockville). Now I live east and it is easily 15 or 20 minutes longer in the evenings since I drive through the city to get home.

ChatGPT: I recently visited a wing joint in Baltimore and was thoroughly impressed. The wings were cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The variety of sauces offered was impressive, ranging from classic buffalo to unique and creative flavors. The atmosphere was casual and laid-back, making it the perfect spot for a casual meal or to watch a game. The staff was also friendly and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this wing joint to anyone in the Baltimore area looking for delicious wings and a great atmosphere.

Absolutely no soul.
