What better than a glass of MALK to wash down a nice mug of hot Kool-Aid?

Yeah it’s a weird pronunciation for sure, and I think it’s a regional thing

i feel like there shouldve been a scooter for everyone

yes and then when we wrestled hereford i made a stupid move and got slammed hard enough that the wind got knocked out of me and i had to forfeit so i have been the hereford zone's bitch my whole life.

In Fells?

I'm from the Gulf Coast. We said (phonetically) "meelk", but I knew for sure that folks on TV and in commercials said milk, with the short, almost staccato i. From that, I knew we had an accent. I am curious what you thought in situations like this?

I went to a parochial school but we always got whatever Baltimore County got, and the absolute seething jealousy whenever Hereford got a day we didn't...

Because roads in Hereford are hilly and winding and they're some of the last cleared by state tow trucks in our region. The odds that a bus/parent get stuck on a slippery uphill are much greater than that in the city where they have designated snow routes that are taken care of pretty well.

Also routinely worse conditions north of the beltway than in the city. Baltimore area generally gets less snow, most of the pre-storm prep is focused there, and it's where the most amount of trucks are out clearing early.

Feels shitty, but really makes sense.

As long as you don't warsh the glass out with wooder afterwards, you are all good.

Yeah, it's a Bmore thing.

Love to see this keep growing. Seeing about the group in the news now, which is cool.

How many guns did you get

Perfect night for it!

Consider valley view, they have a wide selection of plants at all times.

That's the first thing I thought of lol

Did you know anyone who went to a magnet school somewhere else in Baltimore county? My high school was a magnet school and kids were bussed in from Hereford. I don't think I ever though about what would happen if our school was open, but schools in the Hereford zone were closed.

Oh man it’s been over a decade since I’ve been there I think. Glad to see it has some staying power. I always remember it and the general area being a good time in my early to mid 20’s.

I grew up in the Hereford zone and these were the very best days (sorry :/) since we didn’t have to make them up - but I will say one attempt at driving the roads out there with even the smallest amount of snow or ice and you’ll understand. My bus ride home was only possible with the most skilled driver on a good day - roads are incredibly narrow, winding, and hilly and having a giant yellow bus navigate these with snow is asking for disaster. Also the Hereford zone is quite massive and being north, we tended to get the worst of most storms at least somewhere in the Zone

If it makes you feel any better though we often lived very far from friends so we didn’t usually get to play with each other on these days

A friend of mine was the Principal at a school in the that district. This was in the late 70s. He said some kids were still living on farms and had to deal with farm chores, and the roads were difficult. Still, I grew up in the rural area of MoCo and we did not have similar closings. Though MoCo is south of upper Balt County. Still I also don't remember this happening when I taught in upper Carroll County. Balt County also closes schools in the Borcht-Belt of the County, for High Holy days.

the better question is whether or not they are effective. it's hard to measure.

most catholic churches in cities actively support immigrants. church charities tend to reflect the values of their community because a church is a bunch of people getting together. if the clergy does not do what the members of the church like, the church will close.
