Reply to comment by instantcoffee69 in First Latina to be crowned Miss Coppin State University faces backlash by PleaseBmoreCharming
"Perez believes the harassment stems from the belief among some that HBCUs are solely for Black people. Perez said that some of her online critics also believe she is white, which apparently also angered some."
Do they want segregation? Because this is how you get segregation.

And they should be able to age in place for as long as they can/want.

Reply to First Latina to be crowned Miss Coppin State University faces backlash by PleaseBmoreCharming
> Perez said that the university administration and students have been extremely supportive. She has earned the respect of her peers, as well as the Coppin faculty and staff and other members of Eagle Nation, because of her character, according to a news release issued by the university
> The comments started to explode after Perez posted a playful TikTok video, “When both Baltimore HBCUs Mister and Miss see each other.” The video received close to 3,000 comments — about 80% of them attacking Perez, she said.
Her actually student body have been great and support. Which is great to see and a wonderful reflection of Coppin St and the Baltimore community.
And people online are terrible. Which is expected.

Some of them are on timers and only active during school hours, FWIW

Oops, that was for Human Gyroscope. I meant Kumari across the street. They were always my favorite. We ate at Nepal House, which was good. But it was scaled back and didn't have a great offering.

If you're referring to Nepal House, I literally went there two weeks ago and got the buffet.

That's Nursey Rd. Never tried this location since it never seems busy.

Volunteer, join board game groups/meet ups (check out No Land Beyond and Canton Games for some of those). Basically any sort of hobby-based activity! I moved to Baltimore in 2016 and have made a great community of friends from primarily volunteering and running groups, basically anything that gets you out doing things with other people.

I don't think they're still offering the buffet. I took my daughter over the summer and they only offered carry out off the menu. No buffet.

Reply to comment by Mustbearobot in Does anyone wonder where their tax dollars are going? by Nicktendo
The deal was established in 1972 and hasn't been updated since. I'm sure it made sense then when the county population was 240K less and far fewer communities were then serviced by the water/sewer system. It's time to revamp the deal though... which seems like it may be starting soon: https://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/county-news/2023/01/31/baltimore-county-and-baltimore-city-leaders-announce-landmark-legislation-to-create-regional-water-governance-task-force

An interesting comparison is to look at # police per square mile. We actually rank low. The lack of population density in Baltimore skews the $ per capita number. But relatively speaking, the BPD has to cover a huge area and we need a lot of money and officers to do it.

Yes, I got one recently. If you go 12mph over the posted speed, you’ll receive a ticket. I also got a redlight ticket once!
Speed camera ticket: $40 Red light camera ticket: $75

I can't access the substack article.
I agree with the commentary in The Sun, but the solution isn't to do away with TIFs, it's to lower the property tax rate so TIFs aren't required. I agree with that wholeheartedly. The tax rate is prohibitive to development.
But my point still stands - the City isn't "footing the bill". In theory they would if there was a default, but that hasn't happened. The TIFs have worked as planned, at least in a strict financial sense.

Speed cameras are separate. I'm referring to the red light camera heading eastbound near the 95 on ramp.

Kumari Restaurant & Bar! They even do take out lunch Buffet. I would stay away from Akbar, from what I remember, the owner would take the servers tips, thing could have changed.

I shamelessly love their biscuits and gravy. Every now and then, I'll do the 20-minute trek to that Hardee's and treat myself to some of their B&G's. I'm a fan!
