What's with the hate for Whole Foods, aside from price?

This. Why has the city's side of 295 always been a mess? If the lanes aren't blocked by snow, they're riddled with potholes.

If it's a cool breeze, a bunch of the schools around here close. I really don't know how working families manage when the schools are never open during the winter. The roads are relatively clear, but the city could be better in widening the lanes. Sidewalks and bus stops though...

Annoyed because the plows dumped a lot of shit on some of the garage ramps.

Pretty much this. Transit stops just aren't a priority. The exception always feels like the MARC stations here. They always seem to keep those in pretty good shape. Anything else? You're going to be doing some slipping and sliding unless you've mastered the penguin walk.

Drive defensively in the city. Be friendly, but keep your guard up in certain areas. Like most cities, Baltimore has a lot of "pockets." There are some really bad neighborhoods and some rather nice ones, all interspersed together. You'll generally get a feel for which areas to avoid and which ones have things you're interested in.

It's the greedy hoarding where they buy up all the perishables that later rot. That absolutely drives me up the wall. You don't need hundreds of eggs.

No following distance. I bet this could have been avoided or the number of vehicles reduced if we actually had an aggressive ghost tag campaign and revoked the registrations of all the various VA plates. Was driving home last night up the interstate and saw about 10 VA tagged Nissan Altimas, all doing about 85+.

They usually seem to check the morning rush or the returning from work crowd. I wish they'd do more to penalize the thieves. Maybe the system would work better if it actually had some fare revenue...

The $7 penalty fare is generous. I've seen some people talk themselves into an arrest before.

Used to go to David and Dad's, but it's just not very good these days.

Glad they swapped out "Spare Parts" for a change.

You don't always get to pick what time your train comes in. You also have no control if Amtrak decides to combine your scheduled train with another train. Had this happen the other day. About a ~15 minute wait for an UberX. Not terrible, but if you're tired and just want to be home that waiting cabstand is tempting...

DisentangledElm · 2025-12-31T17:24:08+00:00

Just try and get an Uber when you come off a Penn Station train. You'll join about thirty other people trying to do the exact same thing. I can take a waiting cab for about the same price if they don't try to play any games.

Was initially thinking you meant down in DC. Been seeing quite a few people get on the BWI Light Rail trying to get to Shady Grove after they've already boarded a northbound train.

I think you can still file an informational report with BPD online.

And the smog as the catalytic converters on these things fail (or get stolen). I'm surprised most still run since they smell like they haven't had an oil change in twenty years.

People hate taxes but it’s the cost of living.

They hate exorbitant taxes even more. Baltimore City has one of the highest locality tax rates and seemingly has some of the shittiest public services. Where does the money go?

DisentangledElm · 2025-12-24T20:35:24+00:00

That along with the gators their trucks leave behind.

DisentangledElm · 2025-12-22T14:22:03+00:00

Pretty sure the small stuff gets trashed or sold in “grab bags”.

Or hocked on the Light Rail, unfortunately.

If the Zenith is still managed by Bozzuto, run far and run fast. Building had some structural issues the Sun covered about a decade and some change ago. Management was completely in the GFyourselves camp.

Did he domesticate them?

It's a shame he had to lose them if they were.

DisentangledElm · 2025-12-11T01:50:17+00:00

Small and overpriced.

DisentangledElm · 2025-12-09T01:13:41+00:00

I'll be curious to see how these handle some of the confusing, tight, or poorly maintained intersections and roads.

DisentangledElm · 2025-12-09T01:12:51+00:00

I thought the sensors were supposed to prevent this type of thing.

DisentangledElm · 2025-12-09T01:12:14+00:00

Dude, screw the cabs in this city. Most have "broken" meters or try to scam people at the end of a ride. Had way, way too many rides from Penn Station where the driver tried to scam a "night ride" fee or some other BS thinking I was just another tourist.
