Yes, autocorrect

Try queen of Sheba in Highlandtown. It’s not bougie and Instagram-able but the food is great mediterranean/Middle Eastern he was coming to primarily Yemen.

I came here to say this

Right. Like, to whom is this news to? Not me.

You say dumb shit every day on here, but this is up there.

I love how you’re now pretending that white people don’t still hold and held more Baltimore city public office positions than black people do in this city today currently or previously…

No, they’re just not good anymore.. for the last 12 years. Look at all the health code shutdowns

They’ve been gone are a long, especially the arcade. I don’t really have any real feelings as I don’t have any experience or nostalgic memories there outside of going around the actual market, that convenient/grocery store/or something… liquor store

But good news! That same large open area exits in the current market on the second floor, it has the balconies. It’s opposite the wall facing the interior of the market with the projector screen, there’s another huge projector on the other side of that in that space is.

The city doesn’t suffer from poverty. People in poverty suffer but Baltimore median income is higher than the national average and poverty rate is better than cities bigger than Baltimore like Philly.

Well they’re not. But do you

The second floor has been closed for how many years now before the closure of the market,Now now there’s several whole event spaces worth of communal space. The stairs are communal seating. There’s now communal tables for eating

I think most people are against the gloried food court concepts, but alas. It’s here.

You notice I didn’t argue with anything else.

The second floor that they closed how many years ago? Same with the arcade.

You replied to the wrong person

Where was this “communal space” in the old market because I’ve been going to the market since I was little and no such space existed. This is an improvement in that regard. Mt Vernon marketplace, R house and Whitehall never existed until they were created as such… food halls.

I’d love to see the data as well. That would be great investigative journalism from the sun or banner. They aren’t the only ones it’s prolific. But employers could be incentivized to offer employee transportation benefits in the city. Baltimore could give tax breaks to companies that promote ride sharing/carpooling and public transportation .

Lol yes, I blame wine source too. Boycott those greedy bastards lol

Imagine if under armor paid taxes at all. They don’t now because the city gave Kevin Plank a tax break to build the headquarters and the year his break ends they’re moving the headquarters to port Covington to their new tax break TIF. Imagine that .

But I fully agree with you. Many cities are moving to free public transportation. I think Baltimore should look into it as well

All pubic transit is free today. Big ups to my bby grl ROSA PARKS AND THE ONES BEFORE HER

If thats true why isn’t it universally free at every school? But they definitely don’t fund both meals

Most of it is shitty scribbles. Not art. I like graffiti but not everything constitutes as such.

No, they’re just the biggest glaring example and offenders.

Considering there’s only 11 schools without Ac now and they’re actively building new schools and renovating it’s definitely going to schools

What’s your scene?

Socially speaking, Baltimore is the friendliest and easiest city on the east coast to make real friends/relationship and connections imho. It’s not super transient as say DC/NYC, so it’s always better to make native Baltimore metro area acquaintances/friends to really get an understanding of how things work here and be in the “know”. People are genuinely interested in the real you here and not the pretensions/social climbing aspects you can provide that’s found in the more Type-A ‘see and be seen’ cities— cough cough DC. We’re all weirdos here, just a matter of your weird messing well with our weird and finding your tribe. There’s something here for everyone!

I love that there’s no pressure to always be “on” here. I’ve lived in other cities and that lifestyle while fun is really fcuking exhausting. I like that the going out scene here is relaxed and not uptight/showy. This a bar city with good dance floors, not to much a club city. People have money, titles, education, and accolades but they won’t throw it in your face every chance they get here and that stuff generally is not the topic of conversation when meeting people or otherwise. People will speak to you in the streets in passing or standing in lines.

Richmond is Baltimore’s little southern half-sister city. I find both cities to be similar in many ways except Baltimore is bigger. The demographics are similar. As is the city relationships with the greater county surrounding it. Richmond to me is Virginia’s only true “real” city. The others are just glorified suburban towns. I suspect you’ll do just fine here and love it as long as you keep an open mind and heart.

Or the thousands of other people that receive ZERO time and just paid a fine for the exact same thing or much worse
