I definitely believe In the heavy rail option because it’s got much better potential so I agree. However, if you look at their breakdown for some reason they believe it would have less ridership than a BRT line so I doubt it’ll ever be built

Community Law Center - their staff and pro bono attorneys assist community and nonprofits to allow them to achieve their goals. These legal services have had a huge ripple effect across the city and state.

Again this was years ago, he’d just purchased the place in Texas, so who knows how long he stayed there if at all

As a former NYer who just spent the week in Brooklyn, this feels very untrue. Everyone in NY tries hard to stand out. No one in Baltimore tries at anything. I see very little eccentricity in this coty beyond the odd schizos

I’ve never heard him living in Texas. He has homes in Baltimore, SF, NYC, and Provincetown and is around town here often.

He def has a house in Baltimore and is often spotted around town. I don’t think he lives here full time though.

I had no idea that this existed! Thanks for sharing!

TBH, I am not familiar with what other options were considered. This maybe the best/only one on the table.

I am just reading the tea leaves for red-flags using a healthy amount of personal bias and skepticism earned from living here my whole life.

John Waters

Personal life

>Although he maintains apartments in New York City and (since 2008) in San Francisco's Nob Hill, as well as a summer home in Provincetown, Waters mainly resides in Baltimore. All his films are set and shot there. He is recognizable by his trademark pencil moustache. An openly gay man, Waters is an avid supporter of gay rights and gay pride.

You and /u/MeanMrBiter sure about that?

From Wikipedia:

> Although he maintains apartments in New York City and (since 2008) in San Francisco's Nob Hill, as well as a summer home in Provincetown, Waters mainly resides in Baltimore.

And from a 2018 Interview with Baltimore Magazine:

> ###What is it about Baltimore that’s kept you here? Everything—the sense of humor and the extreme style. Everything I wrote about, everything that informed me was always about taking what some people think is a negative thing and exaggerating it, turning it into a style, and having a sense of humor about it. Baltimoreans have always done that. I like living there now more than I ever did because it’s the only place left that has a bohemia. It’s gotten more expensive, but it’s still cheaper than anywhere else. And kids can still live there and start, you know, bohemia! And the music scene there, the people who have had national success—they stayed. They bought houses. I think that’s very, very important, to stay in Baltimore.

And for funsies, here's an article from NPR a few months ago, where the writer interviewed him at his home in Baltimore.

Its easier to think of those non profits which fail to meet expectations, and are bloated with cash.

McDoogals

Yea the existing light rail is a testament to that. They talked about building infill stations and look where that went.

That being said, even flawed, its so much better than any alternatives, and if it got approved we could appeal for a Mt Vernon Station still.

One piece of advice I'd add to this: if you carry a purse or backpack, make sure you keep your phone and keys in separate clothes pockets.

Hmm well, I know that the person who told me would know, but at the same time it was several years back. I think we can agree thought that he lives anywhere that’s NOT Maryland lol

Thanks! I’ll check them both out

I think he lives an San Francisco so take that for what it’s worth

The amount of incredible work they did during the pandemic can't be overstated. Keeping kids and families fed when everything was shut down. Have so much respect for the student support network.

Maryland Waterways Foundation. The amount of material they've pulled out of rivers and streams in east Baltimore County is astounding.

The line is too short and has too few stops. The alignment is far better than the east-west proposal but I fear that once it gets built there will never be political will to add infill stations to places like mount vernon that should obviously be served by it.

I feel strongly about supporting those that can’t or are still developing self advocacy skills so CASA gets my vote! Also was recently informed about The Violet Project due to my interest with women’s (sexual) health!

Former NYer here, and god damn is that the truth.

Lol last week, I had a middle schooler walking down the street ask to finish my cig. I was like, absolutely not, but I will definitely be saying "Can I cop that fugg" next time I need to bum one.

Funnily enough, that in reverse is basically how my family ended up in the Baltimore area after emigrating from Ireland in the 1840s. They landed in NY, and planned to go to Texas, but ran out of money in Cockysville, which is how the area near the quarries there got its name

I said this the last time this quote got posted here, but why not say it again: My favorite John Waters quote about Baltimore is the difference between New York and Baltimore is that New York is full of normal people who think they're weird and Baltimore is full of weird people who think they're normal.
