I should’ve clarified-no one in the city makes good Cuban bread. (Tampa native, but Baltimore more the rest of my life) 👍🏽

So I have BCBS Illinois and in their general regulations they have this statement: https://i.imgur.com/6ftpHcP.png

I'm seeing a doc at JH next month so it will be interesting to see how that plays out. They are in network with BCBS Illinois so they should be bound to this provider contract stating no facility fees.

Are you looking for like, activities?

Park Run is a free, weekly timed 5k that takes place on Saturdays in Leakin Park (Winan's Meadow area) year round. You do have to register with Park Run to get an ID barcode (used for giving you your time), but that's it. You do not need to be a runner to do Park Run, they will always have a mix of runners, walkers, run-walkers, etc.

I actually work with a small locally run community center in Mt. Clare called Clay Pots. We're at the corner of Pratt and Mount. We have free yoga weekly on Thursdays and in the past we've hosted a walking group, just need a new group of interested people to get it started again.

We have a website that has info but you can also find us on Facebook.

Other than us, the other place to look in Southwest would be Bon Secour/Grace Medical. They do a lot but I'm not super up to date on what they offer at the moment.

Also, Hollins Market has a bike riding group that does meet ups and group rides, I think all of that info is on the Hollins Roundhouse Neighborhood Association Facebook page.

Good luck!

Indeed. Not to mention doing the work yourself vs paying others, whether you can be patient and try to get deals on materials vs going with the fast options.

never seen it

Depends. If your doc is physically located at a hospital location and providing telemedicine services you’ll still get hit with the facility fee. I’m not saying it’s fair it just is what it is…sigh

Order a bucket of them from Local Color Flowers. They’re great- they’re a full service florist but they support DIYers too

It’s a little bit outside of the city, but you could try Gott Efni in Ellicott City.

I dunno. I've had the same idle thoughts as the OP when I see the lottery prizes over a billion. I figure if I was that rich, there are way worse things I can do than take the Jimmy Carter route.

Mo’s Seafood on eastern Ave. $7/half dozen.

Get back to me when they stock Almond Smash.

I tried so many times to zoom in on the photo to see if you could see the gun but it’s a lost cause.

Happy Pepsi Blue Christmas, everybody!

Brandishing a gun in Maryland is first degree assault all day long.

> You're in the NE sprawl, one of the most vibrant economic hubs on the planet

The mid-atlantic region of the US (from DC -> NY) has a GDP of 5.2 trillion making it the third largest economy in the world. 200K to live in one of the richest parts of the entire world sounds like a great deal to me.

The Gregorian chant overlayed with that pop-y raprock is peak 2002.

Sorry not trying to be pedantic but I’m a she driving to work 😀

Second this
