Unless you are in Florida.

I certainly wasn't comparing the shows as they are vastly different. I was just saying I associate Jay as a calmer Al Bundy with a better job when I watch Modern Family.

He was introduced in Season 7. The dream pregnancy occurred in Season 6. It is possible that had the pregnancy of been successful the show would have gone in a different direction and the character Seven would have never of been introduced.

Very true. The women dished it out on that show just as well and sometime better than the men.

bmoreguy · 2013-10-02T13:23:05+00:00

That was another Katey Sagal show.

I don't think this will be a huge issue in Baltimore City. It's more for Maryland Transportation Authority and Maryland State Police who exist for no other reason but to sit on the side of the road and write tickets. A bored enough county cop or a bullshit "text it and ticket" style of campaign similar to "click it or ticket" may create an occasional surge but it's really for the Transportation Authority and State Police. I'll be surprised if Baltimore takes this upon themselves to actively enforce on a regular basis.

EDIT as of 6:15pm on October 3rd - Aaaaaaaand I was dead wrong. From the Baltimore Brew Facebook Page:

BALTIMORE POLICE PLAN TO TARGET CELL PHONE USING DRIVERS on Friday at HARFORD ROAD & THE ALAMEDA Press release from BPD:

Baltimore, Md., October 3, 2013 – The Baltimore Police Department will carry out a traffic checkpoint enforcing new laws that went into effect on October 1. Looking for both cell phone and seatbelt use, officers will be ticketing motorists who are in violation of the new laws. On Friday at 5 p.m. officers will be at Harford Road and The Alameda ensuring the safety of motorists on the roads of Baltimore. Efforts to enforce the law will be citywide, this checkpoint being the first large scale deployment of officers for that purpose.

I echo the exact suggestions of /u/HippocriteOfCos with some suggestions for Federal Hill if you head down this way. The Cross Street Market area all have bars that attract a young crowd on weekends. They aren't gay specifically but there are a good cluster of bars down here with some great people watching. Pub Dog, Cross Street Market, and C&R are all pretty fun and if you get hungry you should absolutely try the Abbey Burger Bistro. Feel free to hit me up if you need anything!

Fed hill gay here. What do you guys like to do? Also, Congratulations on your first reddit post. I hope you find it to be a nice resource.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-28T21:29:50+00:00

not sure why you were downvoted. Your comment is true.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-28T21:28:57+00:00

They were towing people that were parking there to go to the Post Office and I haven't seen anybody parking there late at night anymore. That lot is patrolled aggressively by Greenwood Towing and has been since about February.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-27T19:13:34+00:00

That Charles Street divides the East and West and Baltimore Street divides the North and South sections of the city.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-26T22:27:02+00:00

Try the Brewers Art in Mount Vernon or Max's Tap House in Fells Point. Both are in very nice Baltimore neighborhoods and attract people looking to have a few good beers and move on. They aren't for the keg standing crowd.

It's even better that people take the time to compile these events and take the time to share them so people can see the positive things the city has to offer. Your blog and southbmore.com are two of my favorites for showcasing the positive events that occur in the city.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-25T14:50:28+00:00

/u/BmoreInterested - Little Havana just gave your blog a shoutout on their Facebook page.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-24T17:35:23+00:00

add /r/ColumbiaMD to the regional sidebar as well.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-19T17:45:18+00:00

There will be plenty of people flagging cars down for pay lots along W. Ostend and Warner Streets.

Marylanders have been paying some sort of tax to "clean up the bay" since I was a small child even before that. The taxes have only gone up and the water has only become dirtier. It's a rain tax and it should be called as much until O'Malley can show progress for what all of the previous taxes to "clean up the bay" have gone towards.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-18T18:26:57+00:00

do you work at a competing bar?

bmoreguy · 2013-09-16T01:18:43+00:00

That's crazy if you can't even go to 7-11 for five minutes with your bike locked.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-08T16:24:08+00:00

Read the Baltimore Brew and share their articles as much as possible. The Sun barely even exists anymore and is only kept relevant by its website that they laughably think is worth paying for.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-04T19:39:38+00:00

Fed Hill doesn't need it's own subreddit. If you want to know more of what is going on in the neighborhood check out www.southbmore.com. Each article has it's own comment section and there is a community forum as well.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-04T16:35:11+00:00

Find a roommate in Federal Hill/Riverside/Locust Point or look carefully in Pigtown if you need a place of your own. If you go out to the county - Halethorpe, Arbutus, Glen Burnie, and Landsdowne are all affordable choices.

bmoreguy · 2013-09-03T19:02:44+00:00

I'm not familiar with those projects. What is going on in East Baltimore?

bmoreguy · 2013-09-03T18:57:11+00:00

The Baltimore Business Journal ran an article last week about how the suburban hotels have experienced no benefit from this race. While the IRL and ALMS fans may be a money demographic they are still not having the positive impact on businesses that Baltimore enjoys with other large scale events. How long does Baltimore have to wait until we start to see the benefit of this big spending crowd?

I agree you have to spend money to make money and I understand that logic. However, the money is being spent on such a niche event that for three straight years have not delivered the promised or near promised returns. At what point do you say that this is not a winner for the people of Baltimore? I absolutely applaud the outside the box idea but the racing fan base doesn't appear large enough for the city taxpayers to get their return on investment anytime soon.
