Welcome to Baltimore and Mount Vernon!

There's an old thread posted that's very helpful, and search this sub for other suggestions.

Baltimore is a friendly town, make eye contact, smile and nod when you pass people on the street, go and patronize local small businesses. Don't be afraid to start conversations - people are very down to earth.

Baltimore Bike Party is a great idea, follow their Insta. Check out Salvage Arc on Insta ( he posts here as TopS3cr3t), maybe go to one of his events. Good luck!

Two tips for Mount Vernon - the BEST pho is at Mekong Delta on Charles Street. I get mine to go and get 2 meals of the most delicious, flavorful broth. Get your Asian groceries at Po Tung, 300 block of Park Ave.

Don't get too offended. If you ever go to a city council meeting, you'll quickly discover that speed bump requests are the reason about 25% of the people are there.

I can only imagine it's gotten more pronounced since city police have taken traffic stops out of the equation.

I got a link for the state Highway projects from our block captain. She doesn’t think repaving 295 by the city line is a scheduled project but you can look through the list to see. Baltimore is in District 4 for the state highways.

She also said Baltimore DOT, not the state is responsible for 295 inside the city. The original question about 295 ramps might be better directed to the Baltimore City dot representative who is on here. I don’t fully understand it, I believe she said 95 and 895 are state maintenance but the 295 part inside the city is city DOT.

I can’t figure out how to tag the DOT person to ask them.
