It should be illegal for that to happen and that councilwoman as well as her friends and whoever else is involved in that scheme should be properly dealt with

Hardee's. I haven't been to one in decades

Going back to my own experience growing up my elementary school was at least 60-70% Hispanic with the rest being black and maybe five Asian students. No white students despite the neighborhood having a large population of white folks. The white students went to other schools that were rather homogeneous.

It wasn't until I came to Baltimore that I went to school with white students and that was at Gardenville elementary.

Middle school was 100% black. I would say that it wasn't a horrible school education wise but then again it's pretty hard to get a decent education when you have a bunch of kids that have severe behavior problems.

Same here. My first reaction was that it's cool that she was named "Ms. Coppin". My second reaction was to the people complaining online to whom my only response can possibly be "who are you?"

Dude, you have to calm down. I didn’t spray paint anything on your house or whatever. I’m just here trying to defend the artistic merits of graffiti. Also, no “edge” intended. These are my honest opinions.

You do know that different types of art exist, correct? I can certainly appreciate all the lovely architecture you described while also appreciating the art applied to the exterior of said architecture. The only thing that differentiates a tag on a wall from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is your opinion. Are you mad at the hunter gatherers who drew on the sides of caves because they fucked up the sacred wall of that millennia old cave? Of course not. But how is that different than a tag on a wall? Just someone leaving their mark. One is just old you you accept it.

We are in agreement on one thing, it is typically considered by most writers to be bad form to tag personal property. A bridge is one thing. Even an abandon building is usually considered fine. Houses, cars, nature, historic anything is considered toy shit. Again, I’m no expert, so take this with a grain of salt. I feel for your neighbors. Personally I’d let that ACAB shit ride, but I know such statements are not for everyone.

The fewer places with beer in plastic cups, the better. Canton is getting older and needs to adapt. Time will tell if this is it. Place feels pretty similar to looneys tbh

I totally have to recommend THE ELECTRIANS. They are awesome, affordable, and very polite/clean.

yeah good for you all then. Unfortunately my neighbors get the tickets but not the benefits of the sweepers.

>having employees is not a get out of tax card. however, being the premier medical institution on planet earth, certainly is.

No, it's not.

And claiming that the baseline expectation that everyone pay their fair share is "burning hatred" is dishonest. Especially to me, considering I do live with Hopkins - and many of their employees - in MBY. So spare me that bullshit.

Wow. No words.

You aren't wrong. But, as you said, that's a tough issue to fix.

My block is nothing like yours, then, fortunately.

you are correct, having employees is not a get out of tax card. however, being the premier medical institution on planet earth, certainly is. the revenue, legitimacy, and publicity that hopkins generates for baltimore is one of the few reasons this city hasn’t completely collapsed. reddits collective burning hatred for hopkins, and to an extent, big conglomerates like atlas restaurants is nothing more than NIMBY peacocking. without these necessary “evils” this city we all love would be inhabitable

So who racist now?

Schools are segregated in America. The solution requires an influx of white residents in black neighborhoods - 99% of which are urban - and an influx of black residents in white neighborhoods - 99% of which are suburban or rural. Not an easy thing to advocate for or accomplish. Bottom line - in 2023 America there should not be neighborhoods nor schools that are 99% black when only 13% of the population as a whole is black.

Thank you!!

I know that user name 😝

If grandma can't navigate turning from Roland to 41st to Evans chapel, then she needs to hang up the keys.

You know what’s art? The decades of study and the long hours poring and over design plans and picking materials and building something beautiful and utilitarian like the beautiful old historical library on St Paul or any of the myriad pieces of architecture and old brick in this city. And the labor working class people put into trying to make their homes nice… the people around the corner had someone spray paint ACAB on the side of their fucking house. They aren’t COPS! They aren’t government officials. They’re a retired couple! Now they have to go scrub fucking paint off their bricks?! Graffiti is trash when it destroys homes, public places and neighborhoods. Stop trying to be so fucking edgy. This city looks like shit.

I know that dog!

Far be it from me to defend Baltimore drivers, but IME, when all the lights are out, it’s easy to not realize they’re there in the first place.
