Reply to Bojangles is coming to Baltimore by Somali_Pir8

Conversation between my now wife and myself about 20yrs ago after seeing a Bojangles for the first time on vacation, never having heard of them before:

Me: "Bojangles!? What kind of food do you think they have?"

Future Wife without skipping a beat: "Bojangle-y food"

We both died laughing and still say that to this day whenever we see one

Reply to freelance pet sitter by blsavarese

Welcome to Baltimore! If you're in/near 21201 (Mount Vernon, Station North, Charles Village, etc), I'd love to get acquainted with you, your cat(s), and their needs!

I have watched animals all my life, from cats, dogs, reptiles, chickens, and more-- all of varying ages, temperaments, special needs, and medical conditions. Most of the neighbors throughout the city that I work with have referred me to their friends and other neighbors, which is how I have met dozens of great pets and people!

Feel free to message me to discuss your cat's needs, possible dates, etc. I have flexible pricing based on the level of care they need, plus a sliding scale with no questions asked. Happy to provide references, too!

Just don’t fall in the trap!

They need to figure out a sensible east west transit system for Baltimore that would help a bit with neighborhood mobility. Honestly biking has got a lot better around Bmore in the last few years so I think that’s the best way to get around the city. Obviously still work to do and metro would be nicer.

Totally agree with this person. I live in Federal Hill. Used to live in Locust Point. Been here close to 6 years in city proper. The neighborhood “feel” around the city is very unique even with adjacent neighborhoods. Most of the neighborhoods really have their own identity which is really cool.

One thing I have noticed about Baltimore that is good and bad - is that certain people really don’t leave or want to leave their neighborhood by choice. I’ve talked to my old barber in Hampden and they had NEVER been to Federal Hill. It’s a short distance away! In the same vein I have a lot of friends in Canton and we really don’t see each other as much as we’d like due to the fact we have to drive downtown or hop on a boat to get to each other.

It’s something to note. The neighborhoods really do manifest into little communities here but make sure you make an active effort to go to other neighborhoods too because they can be so different and wonderful and might have something for you you didn’t expect! I adore the vibe of Station North and Bolton Hill. Would never have known that if I didn’t escape my little micro community.
