Reply to dump for building materials? by hcjlsj

We've been to Quarantine Rd a few times (drywall, 2x4's, cabinets, etc) and they just wave us in and point us where to go (the back in spaces with dumpsters). Don't even bother to look in the bed of the truck or ask for my ID even though I'm in my friend's pickup truck with out-of-state plates, which I think is odd. We always go on a Saturday, not sure if that makes a difference.

Reply to comment by ahbagelxo in 23 Baltimore schools have zero students proficient in math, per state test results by bobbyw24

I see how complex your examples are for learning disabled highschool freshmen/sophomores. The scores are unfortunately comparative across the state, for example nearly every student in my son's school (Montgomery County) started pre-algebra in 7th or 8th grade.

I think the real disadvantage is the children's study habits and the expectations set at home. I really feel for Baltimore teachers.

Edit: My son attended highschool before COVID.

Reply to comment by BmoreCityDOT in Thanks to increased 311 reports, we were able to issue 29 bike lane parking citations in the last 2 weeks alone. by BmoreCityDOT

I forgot to mention the corner of Bloomfield Avenue and Saint Benedict Street. This is not a tractor trailer parking, it’s a car with an expired license plate used by a heroin dealer as his shop. He sits in the car during the evening and night to sell, he stays inside a vacant home during the day. Every now and then In” see him drive to the gas station, for the most part the car is on the corner for weeks at a time without moving. The city police said they can’t do anything because this is a DOT matter, because of the expired licensed plates. The county policeman who comes to our block meeting is certain city police could mark the car for towing if they wanted, but he hasn’t worked for city police for years so the process may have changed. The car is parked past the no parking sign at the corner, making it hard to see around the corner to turn, plus the people who come to the area to buy from leave litter around. I asked my neighbor, she has called 311 about the expired licensed plates multiple times. There should be 311 requests about it. Do you need the 23- number from her?
