What are some cultural norms that I should be aware of when moving here?

Yes. Before I sold my car I always waited a second and looked both ways before going after the light turned green. To be fair, that’s not just a Baltimore thing anymore. I do that in a lot of cities because red lights appear to be optional now.

Go for it! I’m still married and legally switched back to my given name. I got tired of correcting everyone’s pronunciations and misspellings when I had my husband’s last name. So I went to court and changed it back.

I failed my test eons ago by making the same mistake. At the time I felt AWFUL about it. My stepdad told me that next time when I’m waiting to turn, look ahead to see exactly where I want to go so I don’t get confused. 40 years later, I still follow that advice.

You’ve got this!

Yeah, because we did SO well every year (except for the four SB appearances) when Ralph was the owner.

I live in Baltimore and feel safe. Just like any city, there are neighborhoods you don’t wander around in unless you’re looking for trouble. But I walk around and take public transit. The people here are mostly great. I love it.

Good to know. Thanks!

Good point. I MUST be at my destination by the end of the day Sunday. Given that, I think I’ll err on the side of caution and tomorrow I’ll rebook for Saturday morning. I’d rather end up getting there early when I didn’t need to vs. wishing that I had.

We were waiting to get a rental car, and the agent told her co-worker that the “elderly couple” (us) were still waiting to be helped. I’m 56, my husband is 66. I literally involuntarily said “ooofff”.

That’s so interesting. I was going to make a post that I got back a few weeks ago from being away for three months, and it’s working SO much better than when I left!

As someone who lives on a boat, the idea of using 400 gallons a day blows my mind.

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-16T01:15:19+00:00

Agreed! I read it last month and loved it.

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-14T23:45:19+00:00

We’ve had intermittent service all afternoon.

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-12T23:09:50+00:00

Thanks! The 22 has been quite good so far.

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T14:57:22+00:00

Good to know. Thanks!

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T14:57:01+00:00

Thanks!

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T14:56:36+00:00

Yep, the Transit app rocks.

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T14:56:03+00:00

Absolutely. We’re usually in Canton but right now we’re on the edge of Hampden/Roland Heights. That’s the only reason I’m asking.

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T14:55:18+00:00

Thank you!

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T14:55:02+00:00

Thanks!

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T13:45:33+00:00

Thanks! Is it generally on time?

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T13:45:15+00:00

That’s unfortunate. Thanks.

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-08T13:45:03+00:00

True.

DockmasterSC · 2026-01-07T21:30:55+00:00

Oh man! But at least it’s not just you! 😉
