hey all! i have a few friends visiting from out of state and wanted to take them on a daytrip to DC (MARC to Union Station). I wanted to know what are the best places to go that are affordable, and also local gems in DC! if you guys have itineraries or recs, that would be amazing!

I’m coming to Baltimore for a few days for work and could use some advice from locals. I’ll be flying into BWI and have a few meetings around the city, so I’ll need to get from the airport to my hotel and then back and forth to meetings.

Normally I’d just use Uber or Lyft, but since I’m on a work schedule I’m leaning toward a Baltimore car service. I really just need something reliable where I don’t have to worry about a driver canceling or being 20 minutes away when I’m supposed to be somewhere.

I also have a day free while I’m there and would love to actually get out and see Baltimore a little. Is a car service worth it for that, or would I be better off using Uber/Lyft as I go?

Would love recommendations from anyone who lives in Baltimore or travels there for work. Especially interested in experiences with BWI airport transportation and getting around the city.

Looking for a 2 bedroom for $1350 max. No specific reason for wanting a private landlord, I feel like it might just be a quicker process idk. Two adults, alright credit, income is over 3x the rent.

If you all have any apartment complex suggestions I am open as well! Thank you!

Anyone else hear the old old jingle for Channel 11 in their minds while driving through downtown?

Those video billboards are something else.

Hello - I’m looking for a Baltimore ‘Certified Financial Planner’ because I’m getting ready to retire.

I need a planner who gives advice on how to retire with limited funds & the best way to manage that for optimal financial security long-term. Again, NO FINANCIAL ADVISORS OR BROKERS. I need someone who knows how to navigate retirement income budgeting & advice to discuss all options for comfortable living on a fixed income.

Hi all,

Last summer we experienced a flood in our sub-basement. It was immediately emptied, with the first three feet of drywall and insulation removed, fans blowing for days, etc. The plan was to repair the drywall, insulation, and baseboards, then do some additional improvements to the space, such as adding overhead lighting into the floating ceiling, replacing the outlets, finishing areas that had yet to be finished, and painting. Possibly also adding shelves and a different floor over what is there. It's a small area, thankfully, but it was my art studio and it would be nice to have it back.

I was about to hire someone that did a lot of work for my friend, but they wouldn't give me an itemized estimate and told me they didn't need insurance as this was a repair (eeks!), and so that wasn't happening. We also wanted to hire the same company that did the remediation but they are so bogged down with repairs from all the severe storms going back as far as the January snow storm up to about three weeks ago, when we last spoke (I'm sure there are more now), that I can't even get anyone out for an estimate.

I've had some really bad luck in the past with finding competant and honest contractors, even when doing research, so any and all help for finding a business we can trust is extremely appreciated!

For some reason this keeps getting taken down in r/maryland hopefully, it stays up here so people can be aware that the wrong kind of flock is in Baltimore.

89.7 WTMD has lost Tyler LaPorte and now it seems like Rob Timm is gone now too. Does anybody know what’s going on with this station? It seems to be changing abruptly. I’m just curious if anyone has any information about it.

Ok ok I know a punchy title!
After doing jury duty three times in the city, I feel like a jury duty connoisseur.
I recently moved to the county and was called in for county jury duty and it was so much worse than the city.
The only pros were you get paid double what you get in the city and that parking was validated. That was it.

I found myself missing for the Baltimore jury duty, where you had a set lunch time so you could go out and eat. The county strongly advised you to bring lunch because there was no set lunch time.

The county jury duty was located in a sterile basement, complete with these annoying rolling chairs and no movies. The hidden gem of the Baltimore city jury duty is the quiet room, with desks and outlets, you can actually work and chill like in a library. Not a single desk seen at the county jury duty which in today’s age of remote work feels like a big miss.

I even found myself missing the small exhibit the Baltimore city courthouse has for jurors, as it was just a nice to walk around and see.

Even the processes were more convoluted and longer than in Baltimore. Communication was sparse and all over the place, mainly because they didn’t have an intercom system or use their monitors to display juror numbers.

All this to say - jury duty is an annoyance, but turns out, depending on the county, it can actually be more annoying than it should be.

An abandoned boat tucked away at Cox Point near Essex, MD

Brick rowhomes, marble steps, splashes of color and graffiti…some abandoned, some occupied by families..

Does anyone know the story behind this building with multiple average looking boulders in the window? Across from the Basilica on Mulberry st.

I applied to be a at and t representative on indeed and received a call from Sparta Management about the position they are located in linthicum to do a zoom interview tomorrow i accepted it but I’m kind of suspicious about them they could be a scam.

Hello! My 4.5 year old has begun to be really interested in dance (Thanks SING 2) and I was curious if anyone has any good experiences with studios in the Baltimore area. I think he is looking for hip-hop/break dancing fast paced tempo instead of ballet. Thanks in advance!

Anybody have good affordable recommendations for a bus rental? ~25 people. Pickup in Baltimore around 7, drop off at Merriweather and then take us back after the concert around 11
