Reply to Seeking shelter and resources by [deleted]

I can likely let you stay in my guest bedroom for while in exchange for taking care of my cat and keeping things tidy. I’m in Hampden. Send me a message and we can figure out if it’s a good fit.

Reply to My former property manager is living in my property without a lease. by 1stTimeLandlord

Squatter story from Baltimore County. Local small 20 acre farm. Owner and wife would go to Florida for three months December > February. On their farm a small cottage that would be available as barter accommodation for a worker farmhand. Upon returning after months away - a previous worker knew their routine and had moved in to the cottage, signed kids up in school, established residency. After months of pursuing them through the court system, postponements and appeals (thousands in legal fees) they finally got the squatters out.

Reply to Looking for a good hair stylist by crabbinalice

Lock and Hue at Whitehall Mill in Woodberry

I personally go to Vijay, but it wouldn’t hurt to check out the other stylists’ portfolios to make sure what you have in mind aligns with their work. That said, Vijay is really good, approachable, and upfront about what he can or can’t do.

(In response to other posts here: I have friends who’ve gone to Crafted and Fringe and liked them, too.)

Reply to Ultimate Baltimore saturday by Mickey95

(Some of these are in or near "sketchy" areas, but you'll be fine if you keep to your ps and Qs and mind your own.)

Depending on what part of the city you want to go to, there can be a lot to do and see. Out west, you have the Billie Holiday statue on Pennsylvania Ave. (go during the day, Penn is always wild), the Edgar Allen Poe House, Cylburn Arboretum by Pimlico Racetrack is nice; and some odds and ends historic sites. If you are a veteran or enjoy history, or would like to pay your respects to our veterans; I work at the Baltimore National Cemetery right on the line to Irvington and Catonsville (West Side) and it's a very nice place to see Civil War Era headstones and have a quiet place to reflect. In the city, we also maintain Civil War and Spanish American War sites at Loudon Park National Cemetery about 10 minutes away. There's also the B&O Railroad Museum, which is great if you enjoy transportation history.

Downtown has too much stuff to mention reliably, lol, but definitely do the aquarium and the Washington Monument (which was the original before the one in DC was made).

Around South Baltimore, you have many bars and trendy restaurants, and also Fort McHenry, where the National Anthem was written during the War or 1812.

Idk a lot about the East Side, but in Northeast Baltimore, Lake Montebello is a really nice place for a walk, and Big Bad Wolf on Harford Road has really good BBQ

There's so much to do in the city, much more than what I put on here, but if there's anything specific you're interested in, let me know, and I'll try to help.

Reply to Any Collapse-Aware people around here? by xlllxJackxlllx

Ecosystems change all the time. There are also no dinosaurs roaming around Pratt st. I’m not saying these changes are good, but maybe I’d suggest just talking to someone who doesn’t fit the category of “aware” to maybe challenge you on some of your ideas. We’ve become so silo’d as a world. We reject anyone who has a dissenting opinion as a lunatic or racist or a Marxist or insert the cause Du jour here-phobia. This topic could be interesting to a lot of people, not just ones that are going to blindly agree with you.
