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

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

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
