Is this 101 Ellwood Apartments? I know they increased parking cost to 150$ so it sounds like it. That rent increase is a joke. They quoted me $2168 to renew me lease in Jan. Now the same apartment is listed for $2075 and 1 month free rent for new applicants. Apartment is still vacant.

You can definitely find something better.

One that was totally undeserved. I mean the salary was already stealing.

She thought it was fine as long as he wasn't stealing from her. Hahaha. Serves her right. Delicious karma.

You’re welcome! I believe if we all work together on the little things we can make Baltimore much more liveable.

I will ask our block captain woman, she knows about state highway projects.

Don't let them fool you. Some special editions of sports games can bring big money. NCAA Football 14 is one of them.

Collectors Corner (there’s one on Harford Rd near the city line and one in Bel Air)

Retro Replay in Bel Air

ReGen in Towson Mall

Gamerz Paradise in Edgewood

Canton Games if you want to do it locally and help a business

Re:Gen in the Towson Mall.

I don't have sports games lol. It's mostly stuff like Zone of the Enders, Call of Duty, Halo, etc

You want to look their prices up online and then I’d suggest selling through Ebay or FB marketplace.

Here is a site to give you a price baseline: https://www.pricecharting.com/console/xbox-360

Good luck, you’ll probably make some decent cash if they aren’t all sports games

>Someone else commenting here with a transportation background stated it best but I agree with their point that if there's no plan to fix parking or improve public transit it's ridiculous to expect Hampden residents to not oppose more development projects. Why would we want a less pedestrian-safe, less driver-safe, more congested community by choice? It's just not common sense to expect that of people. >

Because Hampden is largely self-contained. It meets almost all, if not all of, the requirements for the 15-minute city. It almost feels as a small city or town in and of itself with I83 and JHU as the boundaries. Obviously those are blurred, but it is one of the easier places to live in the City car-free or car-lite (1 per house instead of 1 per resident).

>I'm focusing on the zone parking issue because it feels achievable to me as a resident and it would improve the day-to-day lives of me and my neighbors. And I mentioned the parking lots because it's the only thing I see happening and I applaud that business for trying to improve the situation not because I think it's the optimal choice. Of course, I don't want to turn the neighborhood into a bunch of parking lots. The best option is a state-of-the-art public transit system but that's not going to happen anytime soon. >

Like it or not but by celebrating the Wine Sources decision you're absolutely advocating for turning the neighborhood into a bunch of parking.

I'm skeptical a parking permit solves much around the Avenue, but can respect that people would want it. I've not lived within a block or two of the Ave, but have lived in Hampden with/without RPP and haven't seen a huge difference so I understand I'm bias.

Most welcome, congratulations on finding a great new place.

My take is that Maryland has a TON of highway for such a small state. And maryland keeps building new highway and widening old ones. It comes at the expense of maintaining the very heavily trafficked highways. I lived in Buffalo most of my driving life, and even with the snow ice and salt, 90, 190, 290 and 990 are in better shape than 95, 295, and 495.

They aren’t the greatest management company, but take a look at PMC. If you’re willing to move, they have a few properties in the Mt. Vernon area that are a short walk from grassy areas for your pup. We have a large dog that is frequently a “restricted breed” at most complexes, and they allowed her no problem. See plenty of pit bulls and other “restricted breeds” as well.

I dont know what their parking situation is like for all of their buildings, but I know their property on St. Paul has a garage you can pay extra for. The property I’m at doesn’t have parking, but I pay $140 a month for a garage that is less than a block away.

They have properties in other areas of Baltimore as well. I’m not 100% sure what their prices are like for a new lease, but we’ve rented with them for a few years, have very few complaints, and with annual rent increase are still paying less than $1600 for a 2 bed/2 bath.

Wow that’s a lot. Move. That’s ridiculous for a studio in some damn Patterson park.

Have you priced St Brigid’s apartments at Hudson and S east Ave? They were supposed to be pretty affordable for the area.

Will do. Thanks again. And be safe.

agree. Criminal negligence and that is not an exaggeration. How this exists on this roadway is massive oversight on whoever runs this effort and folks below it.

Please complete the form!

THANK YOU. and I've driven it enough that today I finally was frustrated enough to ask here and know I cannot be the only one. I will complete this for the areas I referenced and one other one around Key Highway. And yes, Caton would have been on my list too. :-)

This was helpful. Do you think they are waiting until the foot bridge work is done to finally give 295 near the city a good resurfacing?

I drive a tractor trailer and LOATHE this stretch of road. It will literally shake my trailer ( flatbed ) so much that I have to pull over and tighten my straps down, which is not fun on the shoulder of 95. ( Have to do it before till plaza because DOT does alot of stops past the plaza). Then drivers ride the middle lane and get over at the last minute to avoid the speed bump prior to exit. Uugghh!! I usually reduce my speed to avoid damage to leaf springs, shackle bushings and the like but yeah its horrible. Borderline criminal negligence. 95 work zones are no better near 695. Be safe, thanks for letting me vent.

New apartments are being built in neighborhoods where the population is increasing.

I use the Maryland Highway agency service request website! It works. I requested they clean the area of I-95 near S. Caton Avenue, a crew came out to clean the litter. Our neighborhood has a woman who works with traffic construction, she got us this link for all the request. So far my clean up request and another neighbor’s new sign request were done. It takes time to do the picture and the request but it’s worth it to see improvement.
