Not sure how alarming this is given statistics are limited to 2023 vs 2024. But an unfortunate trend it seems across the County.

Yesterday, for the first time I saw someone being ticketed on a street right off my apartment complex. I live in a very residential area and since I've been living here I don't really see much activity here - thank God. I will see police cars come by from time to time but it would be for whatever reason that they're there. But I've never seen someone going around looking at cars and giving them tickets for parking violations.

Yesesterday, I saw this person ticketing a car. And I just kept watching because I had never seen it before. When the person drove away the car was labeled "parking enforcement." And it's this tiny electric car with green logo and signs and whatnot. I thought it was really odd because it didn't say Baltimore County or anything like that on it. It just said parking enforcement.

And I'm just like what is the entity/agency enforcing parking? And now I'm thinking maybe it's a scam. Because where I'm from and other places I've been it will say the municipality and then whatever the enforcement agency is. So like in New York City the person giving out the tickets their car will say New York City Police department. Is it common for these little cars to be going around giving tickets? Is this a scam that I should be aware of? Because the car that they were ticketing was legally parked. I just found this really odd.

Awhile back I thought I read or saw something about a Grocery Outlet Bargin Market coming to the corner of Liberty Rd and Milford Mill Rd where the Giant Food store used to be. However while driving by, I see construction work going on, but a big sign on the fence about a Royal Farms coming soon. So did the grocery store plan fall through? It will be nice to have a Royal Farms there, but a grocery store would be more useful to those of us in the area. Anybody know anything about this? Thanks...

Pretty much the question in the post heading. Specifically to the West side of Baltimore County? I'm looking to save sometime with recommendations over having to purchase both services to find out.

There always seems to be some type of construction happening in Eastern Baltimore County. Is there a way to find out what is being built (commercial, residential, etc.), timeline, any applicable store details, etc.? I used the ArcGIS system but not sure if I did so correctly haha!

Found a dog in Parkville off Putty Hill. Well behaved. Anyone looking for them or safely able to harbor them?

Black Dog Mix has a rash on its rear.

I am dog-sitting and have dogs of my own, so I have short time for solutions.

I pass that intersection regularly, and recently there appeared a lot of paint that seems to indicate an upcoming construction project. Any one knows anything about it? A search of the Baltimore County DOT page didn't turn anything up.

Okay so please bear with me. I have a huge problem with anxiety and my questions may seem stupid or unnecessary.

I was summoned for Trial Jury Duty in Towson. This is my first time I’ve ever been summoned for Jury Duty and I don’t want to do anything wrong. If someone here who is more knowledgeable than I could write just a simple walkthrough of what the process is like to help ease my mind I would really appreciate it.

Additional Questions:

• I have completed my Juror Qualification form online. Do I also need to complete the physical Form B and mail it in?

• I have a call number, but I’ve read about things called Group Numbers and I see no indication of anything like that in the letter I got. Would that be specified or is it the same thing?

• When I call the evening before I’ve read that I need to hear my call number. What does it mean if I don’t hear my number and what would my next steps be?

• I am unable to drive and will need to be dropped off at the location. They make multiple points about having a parking permit which I’m unsure if I received, but my ride will not be parking in the designated lot and instead will be going elsewhere. Will there be an issue with me being dropped off?

• When I go in on the date I’ve been summoned for, will that day be used to pick the jurors for the upcoming trial as a kind of interview process, or does it mean that I am already on the jury?

Thank you in advance 🙏

Curious what others think of this bakery. A Korea-based, French bakery? Is it fusion or just a French bakery that started in Korea lol? Either way I'm always excited to try a new place!

Hey, I’m very new to this but I’m looking for some help. My wife and I are currently looking to move out of nyc to Maryland.

We both got jobs in Hanover Maryland. She’s at arundel mills. We are struggling to find apartments in the area below 1600 for a 1 bedroom. We drive and don’t mind a commute but as we are very unfamiliar with the area I feel like I’ve exhausted all the areas I’ve seen or visited. We’ve been to Towson, Columbia, Glen Burnie, and downtown Baltimore city. Some of the apartments mostly have bad reviews or they are too expensive. We have applied to eagle rock in Towson but we would really appreciate some help anything helps thank you.

They were looking hard for something/someone. Can’t find it on the news ..

Sample Ballot Here

So I'm undecided on local level bills. I was hoping to get some opinions.

Question A is expanding the County Council to 9 members as opposed to 7. A wider range of views is always good, but this will lead to a lot of redistricting, which I'm sure means carving the county up like a gerrymandered turkey.

Question B gives the Inspector General a lot more power, including subpoena power for non-county records. I like the idea of government officials having oversight, but the office is neither a law enforcement office nor an agent of the court. Subpoenas should go through a judge.

Question C is sneakily worded. Besides the term limits, it also removes power from the County Executive by making their eight appointees to the planning board subject to Council approval.

So what do we think?

Hey all as my title suggests I thought it’d be fun to find new clothes by swapping with other ladies. I have a lot of medium sized clothes I just am tired of and want a new perspective. I realize this sounds a bit wild but it’s just a budding idea 🤣
