If so, that's quite tacky and cheap. How much is saved by not putting up half a wall of glass anyway? If you're going to put all that money into some ugly busy af tile in a chevron pattern, why not put up a bit of glass... Smh.
Stuff like that just makes me wonder what is it I cannot see that they cheaped out on.

Reply to Mount Vernon - what area is best? by DaleDuzit
The best area in Mt. Vernon is literally outside of Mt. Vernon. MtV is no amenities, overpriced slumlord central.

I've seen the same thing in listings for much less expensive rehabs and new construction. I am starting to think it's purely for photos/staging to make the bathroom look larger and less cluttered. The assumption is that the buyer will add a shower curtain.

Funny how he says that but makes the people in this city look like buffons in his movies. He's a hack.

I never went to 500, so I cannot speak on their gym. I just recall the pool being open to us in 520. I could see the pool from various upper floors in 520, and it looked nice. Resort vibes.
The gym in 520 is very basic and small imo. I sadly never used it for fear of covid cooties, but they did have my favorite old school elliptical. It seemed to get plenty of use, but I never was back there enough to know how crowded it was. I had my own bike for spinning in my apartment and walked and ran the neighborhood. Occasionally rode my bike outside, too.
The nicest gym I have experienced was at 300 Saint Paul, that PMC building. I hate PMC, and I hate that they put the gym nearly at the top of the building and no elevator access, but that gym was amazing. They had like 6 Peloton bikes before Peloton took off during covid, many treadmills, an entire functional fitness area with ropes, traditional strength training stuff, so many free weights, a squat rack... It was great. And all free to residents.
Another building that had a nice gym was 225 N Calvert. It wasn't too large or too small, and it had many more stationary bikes for spinning (including 2 or 3 Peloton bikes), a few studio rooms, many treadmills, squat rack, many free weights, ellipticals, couple rowers, etc.. Free for tenants of course.
There is an Under Armor gym downtown in an old bank I think, but it is a bit of a walk from 520 Park. Closer to 300 Saint Paul. But obviously you have to pay extra/join for that.

Reply to comment by guest78910 in Baltimore's Black communities get more environmental citations – but no support, say activists by Animanialmanac
My neighbor got the barking dog Animal Control letter last year, he doesn’t have a dog either. I believe there has to be a way to fix this, I don’t know what it is. I don’t want to move, this used to be a nice, friendly area.

It is unknown how they arrived as least according to the news reports, but at least some of them have city addresses. Voting against more connections with the city is what the response will be.

I had kids go to both, and they were both great, but my BSA kid went for music and fell out of love with the field. On the plus side she got really good at it and developed some serious life skills. We loved City for many things including administrators who helped our City kid, and the wide array of academic offerings. The theatre program is a shoestring miracle.

I use my turn signals... but they are broken. Stupid electrical issue that will cost more to fix than the car is worth, and this market is not good for used cars right now.... :(
I think people double park because people can not parallel park. I heard that its not even on the driving exam anymore.

Hm, I am curious about the studies. I grew up in poverty (not in Baltimore) and I think it led to a very "we're all in this together" attitude in my community.

I used to be a Methodist Christian and my stepmother is Catholic so I have a pretty good idea of what Catholics believe.
Next time you don't want to explain yourself, maybe don't say anything at all. Waste of everyone's energy.

I lived at the Horizon House for years used to be good but last couple years have gone down hill. Constant issues with the elevator at least 1 time a week one or more are down. Trash chute is down every other week. They have ongoing construction in the garage that is supposed to take till this fall (expect it to take longer) so no onsite parking. maintenance was really bad for a while but seemed to be getting better before I moved. Gym is decent and hardly ever used. Pool is very limited hours during the summer.
