Vendors! Sophomore Coffee, Galatea Oysters, JerkWerks Pit Beef, Rainey Days Bakes! Plus we heard you liked the free booze last year so free mulled wine and NA sparkling cider! Across from the Miracle on 34th Street behind the “castle” on Keswick. See ya there!

Hello I’m in my 30s and looking for any groups- online or in person- for adults with a terminally ill parent or loved one. Ideally some type of free group, but it’s a counseling group that has a fee that’s okay as well. Anything in the city or outside the city is fine. If anyone has any resources to pass along I’d greatly appreciate it- thank you!

Does anyone know if Popeye's is open on Xmas? We wanted to do a comparison between Popeye's and RoFo. Weird question I know.

I know I probably won’t get any responses but I am an incoming nursing student at UMB, I want to rent an apartment, I have a couple I was looking at. I just need a roommate! Please if you know any female in their early to mid 20’s looking for a female roommate within walking distance to the UMB campus please let me know!! I am trying to get the housing stuff situated before its too late, thank you!

Hey, this may sound like a super silly question, but I am getting married in Frederick, MD in 2025. But I live out of state. As a result, I was hoping to get my sew-in done a week to a couple days before the wedding in my home state by my normal stylist, and then hire a stylist for the actual wedding day to style it in the DMV.

I think I’m just worried because I know some stylist don’t like working with some else’s work. But I feel like that’s pretty normal right…? Like the exact way it would be done for a destination wedding or other brides coming from out of state? Anyone have any experience in the DMV area doing this? I’m pretty new to sew-ins so excuse my ignorance.

Also, if you have any recs for hairstylists in the DMV please send them! I’m deciding between a curly updo and body waves. Really open, but I have 3C, 4A, and 4B hair, extremely thick but very manageable.

Thanks!

Edit: While of course I know it depends on the stylist so I have to be sure to ask, I was just wondering if 1. Anyone had any experience doing this? And 2. If this is generally accepted, frowned upon, etc.?

Just had to scare off a guy who had gotten into my neighbor's car, who then started to approach us & our house before scurrying off into the alley. Not 5 minutes later, there's a report on Citizen of an attempted vehicle theft 500 yards away. Lock up your stuff, keep valuables out of sight, and remember to keep an eye on your neighbors' houses who may be away on holiday.

We gotta look out for each other out here, y'all. Be safe out there! 🤍

Hey all! Our family loves summer sausage around the holidays and I’m curious if you’ve seen it at any butchers shops around here. We’ve checked JW Treuth’s and no luck.

Thanks and happy holidays Bmore!

Wanted to come ask for advice. In the neighborhood the street sweeper comes 4 times a week and if you fail to move your car its a $52 ticket. The dollar amount seems high, given the fact that you could get unlucky and spend $208 a week if you just happened to park in the wrong area. The councilperson says its because this district is a high traffic area (its not). The neighborhood is quiet and completely residential. On top of that, councilperson used to work for DPW so I cant help but think this is a way to get $$ or some kind of kickback. Am I being unreasonable? Should it be changed? AITA?

More specifically, The Avenue and Chestnut, near the Charmery. I struggle with back-in and parallel parking (skill issue, I know, I'm so sorry).

I've considered the parking garage at the Rotunda, I believe it's a ten minute walk from there to The Avenue, but I'm not super thrilled about that since I haven't been to the area before. I've also thought about parking at Hampden Elementary, I will be going on a weekend, but I wasn't sure what the likelihood of getting towed is. Thank you for any suggestions.

Hi everyone. Does anyone know where I can find Texmex tamales in the city? Most of the ones I have found in the city are Salvadorian style which are very different. Any recommendations?

Looking for a fun place to watch the ravens game today. Don’t say Fraziers lol

I've read every friend-seeking thread on this sub since I moved here a year ago, and none of the suggested avenues have appealed to me. I want to find people like me, but people like me tend to stay indoors lol.

I'm a 25N AuDHD artist and my hobbies are playing video games, designing characters, engaging in fandom, collecting merch, reading books, studying Japanese, learning guitar, and making retro websites. I've made many online friends through my interests, but I'd really like to know someone local!

My ideal friend would check all four identifiers in the post title— especially fandom, and especially fandoms for games. Crazed minds think alike. If you consider yourself a fujoshi, shipper, or blorbo enjoyer I want to talk to you immediately. We don't have to like the exact same things, I just like the mindset.

I'd like to befriend the type of person who generally enjoys hobbies at home and might like to go on an occasional one-off outing (e.g. exploring a museum) with a friend. If we were to hang out at one or the other's home I'm envisioning parallel art making or playing games together or similar.

Tangentially and genuinely not an ulterior motive to this post, I also happen to be looking for a new apartment and would be down to split a 2bd with an interested party. Just needs to be within 3 blocks of the Yellow line and not in a busy (loud) area. Figured I'd put this out there while I'm selling my vibes lol.

Please hit me up if this sounds cool to you! I wager there's gotta be people like me in this city, we're just not outside.... And if you know someone who seems like a good fit, please consider passing this along. Not everyone is on Reddit, after all.

Any recommendations on affordable yoga classes or studios near Mt. Vernon? Ideally one that has a variety of times.

Bonus points in it's not hot yoga but still intensive.

Hi, i am moving to baltimore next year to earn my masters at Johns Hopkins — the school recommended this apartment building… can someone please comment on the safety and quality of this living situation? It looks very nice online, but a family friend said its in a very sketchy area and that the photos online dont accurately portray the inside. Is this true?

Anyone know of anything going on in the area for the Christmas/Christmas Eve?

My family is on the other side of the country and I’m not able to travel back due to work. All my friends are going out of town so it’s just me. TIA!

Hi there! My wife and I just moved here from the Dallas area. I wanted to ask where I could buy chorizo or Mexican meats? Thank you!

The way I understand it, or have observed it, counties have sheriffs and cities have PDs. Why does the city have both? Won't their jurisdictions and duties completely overlap?

By extention, I get that State Police is only for traffic violations since it can possibly stretch local enforcement too thin, but doesn't that seem like too many resources for just traffic when those resources could be allocated to murders than speeding?

Hey, everyone! Merry Christmas 🎄! Writing this post to get an idea of what it looks like to take a small dog to the Xmas village during the weekends, probably after 5 p.m. Last time I took my other pup, who loved it, and they have some pretty cool dog food vendors, but it was during a slower weekday. This time I’m taking my other pup on the weekends; on the Sunday, the 22nd. Any reasons this may not be such a good idea?

Are there any regulations against a hot tub on city rooftops? Obviously a rooftop rated enough to hold all it needs.

I came to Red Emma's to get food tonight and there are orange bags over the parking payment kiosks that say Towaway Zone. Had to park on Barclay, which I like to avoid doing because I know people need parking in front of their homes. Anyone know what's going on and when it will be over?

I'm looking for the actual USAA atm where you can deposit cash. I can't find one because on the app they don't differentiate between the type of atm on the map so I'd have to go to the atm to find out.

I'm not originally from Baltimore, but I parked near Fells Point and noticed a single post with about four signs, all contradicting each other. One of them said "2-hour parking," so I assumed it was okay.

​

A half a block up, someone I think a resident, messaged me through and warned me that I could get ticketed there without a residential tag. I'm glad I listened because, on my way back, I saw a parking officer actively issuing tickets.

​

Baltimore could really use clearer signage!

Hi fam - Baltimore resident looking for holiday funsies. I’m a big lurker on this sub so know the usual local activities but what are some interesting holiday things to do/see/experience over the next couple weeks? My partner and I are mellow despite some rowdy karaoke nights, have no kids and I happen to turn 40 in that time frame. So far, I rented an outdoor tent at Old Westminster and am going to a Caps game. We’re going to do the Druid lights drive through and will check out the inner harbor holiday market early on a weekday. Is there anything else that’s fun and unique going on? I have eclectic interests and love things that I don’t even know about.

ETA: I was walking my dog in Riverside park tonight and a little holiday train rode by. We jumped on and met a bunch of neighbors doing a block party and would love more things like this!

does anyone know of any safe/affordable extended stay/living options in baltimore or maryland in general? long story short, i trusted the wrong people when i moved back to baltimore and i am facing eviction soon. mentally, i cannot allow myself to go back to a homeless shelter. i am trying to find the best option for temporary housing until i can get back on my feet. most of the places i’ve seen are about 100/night which is a lot for me right now. when i lived in vegas i was at a place that was about 290/week so im trying to find something like that. it wasn’t in the best neighborhood but it was affordable and convenient. maybe someone knows of a hidden gem i haven’t come across and can point me in that direction. thank you in advance.

this one is short lol my shirt came!
