Do you think that poor economic outcomes are exclusively due to external forces like you mentioned?

Reply to comment by Velghast in Any suggestions to get BGE to turn the gas on for a former vacant property? by mjccjm77
Totally get that, but I can't get them to even inspect. They have only asked for photos that the area is cleaned out (it is) and then crickets from BGE. Or do you mean the city needs to inspect?

You have to get the home inspected first before they will turn gas back onto the home. Once you have a green light BG&e will turn it back on. That includes their metering equipment. They're not going to turn your gas back on until they know it's safe to do so.

Is Shapiro's gone? Haven't thought about that place since I moved out of the neighborhood, but it was good.

I’m also from Norfolk originally and they’re similar in terms of being a bit of a patchwork. We’ve lived in mt Vernon for like 5 years and never had an issue. Love it here.

Yes, but the mere fact that pedestrian plazas exist does not automatically advocate for their presence everywhere.

I saw doner bros opened a place in harbor point. I haven’t been yet so I can’t vouch for it.

As a teacher in a career-and-tech magnet school, I have seen firsthand how a) practical and diverse “career and vocational education” can be, and b) how much it can motivate kids to come to school, be focused and willing to learn, and c) how it encourages teachers to be pragmatic with career-track students.
In our English department, we might still borrow from a college-prep curricula, but we definitely are conscious of how ee might infuse workplace writing experiences for students in, say, our auto or our plumbing program (business writing, invoices, letters!)…. I really think more schools could benefit from more career and tech program choices

Or the D.C. area. I grew up in Pasadena, though, and this kind of thinking is prevalent. But Montgomery County loves tearing Baltimore down

I'd do everything in my power to avoid living in the city, if I had concerns about crime. If you live in the city, at bare minimum you'll be stolen from or have your stuff vandalized. If you don't care about these kinds of things, have fun in the city with all the culture.

>But first, you have to be honest with yourself. And, you have to have the money to have a high enough budget in the first place
That's the key right there, being honest about what you want and if you can afford it. It is also a case of necessity. Even though people might not WANT to live in Sandtown or Penn-North, the cycle of generational poverty can force people to need to live in those areas because its all they can afford.
I, like many other people, grew up insulated from the world's problems and simply chose to ignore the root causes. This is a weird case for me since I'm mixed and my parents come from generations of rural poverty in the Midwest. But poverty is a different beast entirely, I could make a whole post about it and still never scratch the surface

If you’re in Fells Point, CatsEye pub is a must. Max’s has 100s of beers. Thames St Oyster House for food, but make sure you get a reservation
