I love the Camark cats. There’s a house at Chestnut and 33rd St that has the most amazing collection.

Lemon pepper and or lemon zest are great, do not be afraid

the northern neighborhoods are definitely rough but there is so much to like in that area

It's definitely MSG.

Meh idk about that it was mostly about cooking off the area and simply showing that the city cares enough. The inside was def half as nice as redoing terminal but the outside became untenable.

tats a fair point. im coming from texas so a 10 minute drive is like right next door. Just seems like once you get on Druid Park Dr you are super close to hampden I guess parking would be the major issue.

I’ve found this chicken crack lemon pepper seasoning that I thought might be it, but I’m hesitant to order it and try it out if I’m completely wrong

I came here to say John Waters, but you provided the whole story

Uncle Roger approves of your MSG suggestion.

My guess is that MSG is the seasoning they use that other chicken places don't.

Other than that it's probably more standard seasoning you'd find in other recipes like onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, Lawry's or paprika.

Damn I'm hungry now

Independent Brewery in Bel Air does it most Sunday mornings. Market Street Brewery in HdG does it once a month. In case you want to come to Harford County.

Keep your eyes open. You'll find them everywhere.

I live in Canton and have at least 3 on display. I've hidden them all over the place in/outside my house so I've kind of lost track.

Part of the reason is what u/Ghoghogol linked (the movie), but part is also the chintzy 1950s "Hon" aesthetic in general which was super prevalent in Baltimore for a long time. It's been kind of dying out, with the exception of Honfest. I think Denise Whiting (blech) had that whole thing on life-support for a while.

We're goofy here in Baltimore. And we think it's cool.

EDIT

Wait until you start seeing Camark Cats everywhere, too.

sounds good! let me look for some shows and I'll get back to you. For book clubs and stuff, join some different neighborhood facebook groups and search the posts in there for "book club" and you'll see a bunch. Here's one in Canton. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2057227774499294/ that reads books on the NY best seller list and meets for beers to discuss. And then the Baltimore Social Issue's Book club is pretty active as well and reads a lot of Baltimore focused books (i think). https://www.facebook.com/groups/2905597476423634/

Another option I forgot about....I don't know what your schedule is like but if you can swing a part time gig at a bar or restaurant, you'll make life long friends in about .5 seconds ha. I still have friends now from places I worked at 12 years ago. And never hurts to make a little extra money on the side.

Does anyone else miss omelette side show?

What u wanna know? Where to fish?

If I waited for a mid sized group to go out with, I'd rarely end up going out haha. If you like music, I recommend hitting up open mics and karaoke bars. They're very social environments and it's easy to chat with strangers there compared to a standard bar.

Sports is another one that can be a social environment, typically in a bar setting again. And you're already doing Volo which is another good sports social activity. I'm not sure about video games, but No Land Beyond can be great for joining a group to play with at their Thursday events (https://www.nolandbaltimore.com/events). I think they actually have a biweekly Smash Bros Melee tournament that meets again this Thursday too.

I'm working on my social skills still tbh. I'm confident enough to go out alone, sometimes I meet people and end up exchanging numbers and seeing them again. Other times I don't really chat with anyone.

Wow that's nice I would say I'm good at making friends and could get along with most people but I'm definitely not as confident as you. I like sports, music, reading, video games. I can find something to relate with with most people, I guess I've just had trouble finding a mid sized group to go out with.

Hey dude thanks so much for your comment. Yea it is hard, I have made friends through the leagues we've joined but it's just like you said where it's impossible to get them to do something on the weekends. I will keep trying I definitely think a book club or something like that will be nice most of them that I've seen lately are on zoom though which is fine but I'm looking to do things in person rather than online. I'll keep looking for book groups though because that sounds really fun.

I actually had a harder time making friends in college (I graduated last spring) so I'm really going all out to make friends now that the group I defaulted to in college isn't in Baltimore anymore.

Going to a concert sounds like fun I really appreciate the offer! I like most music so if there is something that your interested in going to see I would gladly come. Thanks so much for the advice, same as you I really miss having things to do on the weekends and going out drinking, so hopefully I'll find a group who wants to do something.
