Whoever pulled the gas permit should be the one to ask them to do it.

I took this photo! It’s even more stunning in person.

The blueprint is literally the plan for implementing Kerwin commission’s recommendations…

You could try public relations/affairs and communications offices. Baltimore and DC both are within commuting distance of many nonprofits, government offices and contractors, professional organizations and associations. Most have a comms office.

A Pig from Pigtown

Had the same reaction. Smh

If the property has been vacant that long, they wont turn it on until it's been pressure tested for leaks.

What did BGE say when you called them?

ha, THUG LIFE. Shout out to Pac. 👍🏾

not to mention that Thames is commonly blocked out on Resy a week or more in advance for hot days like weekends already. I would expect the same on V-day. Still they could call to check.

ISO extra ticket to Le Tigre at Baltimore Soundstage in July. I got a ticket but my friend didn't and would love to get one for them for their birthday. Thanks!

It’s the socialist republic of Montgomery county for a reason lol

Safer Plumbing is great! https://www.safferplumbing.com/

Idk what’s considered pricey but we paid $310k for something recently renovated in LP. If you wanna live in the newest development, yeah maybe, but the row houses are very affordable

Service might need to be renewed from the main to the meter. Should be no charge to you but it's a timely process untill the contractor picks it up.

I lived in Towson (not city) and Woodberry, just moved away a year ago. Woodberry was safer, with the exception that my car got shot one night. I got physically attacked dropping out of the Baltimore marathon in 2018 (bad area) and I had people bloodied outside of my home in Towson. My wife and I felt stuck until home prices went up. Got the F out and moved to a different metro entirely (South Hills of Pittsburgh). Better job, great neighborhood/schools, minimal crime. All cities/metros are like that though to varying degrees. Plus I can actually stream the Orioles now that I’m out-of-market.

Annapolis has its own problems. It definitely isn’t Disney land

Those are the city

If I follow what you're saying, you gave the info to the designer but they haven't followed up with you yet to get it inspected? I had that issue when I converted to gas; the designer (I forget which engineering company was contracted at the time to spec/etc but the designer was not a BGE employee) was incommunicative so I ended up calling BGE directly to explain the situation and asked for their help. The designer's manager called me within a couple of days to apologize and we got the inspection scheduled. So, you may have to go over the designer's head. In my case it was BGE that was actually really helpful in getting it moved along. Not sure where your bottleneck is, but hope it gets straightened out soon.

The neighborhoods you mentioned are super kushy artsty rich areas, you'll be fine lol

I second this - as a creative myself, I cannot stress enough the importance of specializing in something. Being a jack of all trades will not pay the bills.

We’ve had nothing but good experiences with Pat O’Neil on Falls Road. Have used his team for clearing drains, a new water heater: https://www.oneillplumbingandheatinginc.com/

Audit Manager here. If you have lived in Norfolk comfortably, you will be fine here. I am in Pigtown next to 95 and BWP and commute is easy. The higher you go, the longer your commute is.

It all depends on your budget but I would suggest South Baltimore neighborhoods (Barre Circle, Fed Hill, Pigtown closer to Ravens Stadium) as areas to look at. Look at the prices of houses as your barometer of where you want to live.

These are great comments and living in the city can be a great experience, but also be aware that city taxes are quite high, so factor that into your decision.

In some cases "nicer" areas have more reported crime because the people who live there are more likely to report minor crimes to the police. I was born in P.G. county and even though I'm white we still almost never talk to the police unless we have to, and all I hear about PG from Calvert folk is "crime". I've lived in Edgewater MD too, and it has high crime rates but when you look into it it's all fraud and domestic abuse, bad but not the kind of crime people clutch their pearls over. Almost everyone I tell I live in Baltimore to, that cares to point out crime has also told me of instances they have knowingly broken the law. People universally see it as ok to break laws they don't like but fear monger that other people engage in the same behavior. We do have more of the kind of scary crime people worry about but it's just an odds. Urban areas have more crime, but unless it's a particularly poor area, they have more college graduates, they have more people earning 6 figures, they have more of everything.

Just remember our unofficial slogan I'm making up.

"Baltimore, actually I like it"

look for corporate copywriting jobs. kinda why I stepped away from my English major is, despite my enjoyment of language and linguistics, job prospects were less ideal for the sorta life I wanted to live. but copywriting for businesses, editing/proofreading memos and website or maybe even marketing copy, all of these are skills that pretty much any large business could utilize.
