All of y’all say that but people do that because Baltimore is literally a “you never know, fuck it” type of city. Growing up there kinda warped me.

What’s been shown in studies is that groceries stores are far healthier than corner stores. That leads me to either incentivizing the development of full groceries or other fresh food outlets in these communities (I’m not a tax professional or lawyer or anything so I can’t speak to how specifically to do so), or collective/government action that either creates spaces for such or runs such (as in, creating more food markets (not food halls) and keeping those spaces well-funded and renovated, or running grocery stores).
Personally I would prefer collective solutions that promote community and potentially keep money in the community/region rather than some TIFs for national/international chains, but again I’m not an expert. But I have seen both expansion/reinforcement of city markets and establishing government-run groceries in the most affected communities as solutions before from advocates and officials so it’s not a wild idea.

Stillmeadow Community Fellowship...a resilience hub, helping to mitigate flooding on Frederick Ave, food pantry, a 10acre peace and meditation park, the list goes on.

Often on a Saturday night you will pay a $10 cover to enter the Power Plant area itself and then you can wander between bars.

I’d imagine around $20 tops? Been awhile but there’s a number of different bars in there that should be able to provide a good time. Enjoy!

Unfortunately, sprouts looks amazing while I let my dog play at barksocial next door to it. B
After first look at prices in Sprouts...I went right back to shopping at aldis.
The aldis in 21224 is the bomb yo. So much faster shopping too.

Have you ever bought organic produce from a farms market or sprouts or moms they’re these same prices. And you can pay food stamps

Thank you. I'm glad someone else understands and cares about that.

I’m pretty dubious of anything affiliated with the Catholic Church but spent a lot of hours volunteering for their Immigrant Legal Services program. They help people file asylum, green card, and citizenship applications, prepare for interviews, and even have ESOL classes — all for free.

This simultaneously sums up my impression of Baltimore and John Waters. (and I live just a bit north of Baltimore).

They’ve gotten a bit better! They were super understaffed for a while. Volunteer recruitment is also low, from what I understand, so I’m sure that puts a strain of staff, too.
