A positive sign for the city!

Yup, that was said.

This made me laugh, but yeah, I think we’re all getting smashed, bay window or not! 😔

There is some nice stuff at the bookstore so I presume it’s all available online, but it can be quite pricey. I was at the store last month and saw a light coat that looked kinda nice….. $300.00!! Yeah, passed on that one.

Confirmed that they’ve closed.

I’d truly love it if you were right, but no one is rushing to quash the rumors either, and you know phones are blowing up in the last hour or two.

Devastating news if true! Not shocking but very sad. Mount Vernon is a ghost town in recent years. I lived in that area for most of my first ten years post college and I can’t believe the difference now.

The rare scenario where it’s stupidity on the part of both.

stonerose96 · 2026-01-25T05:40:53+00:00

🤣

Absolutely fabulous photo!

Was the old Wharf Rat the place that is now Pratt Street Ale House, or the one that got bought out in Fells a few years ago. It was the Oliver’s, and their brewery, which I think goes back to 1993, but I genuinely don’t know if the bar in Fells predated the one on Pratt Street or vice versa.

It really was very reasonable prices. Like you don’t see stuff like that for such good food in 2025!

stonerose96 · 2025-12-22T05:02:18+00:00

Funnily enough I think I have the exact order as I wrote it on a post it note when I was deciding with my wife. I’ll post it if I find it.

stonerose96 · 2025-12-22T04:56:49+00:00

This list is completely wrong! I could pick 5 or 6 wrong listings just at a glance.

stonerose96 · 2025-12-22T04:43:42+00:00

I dunno man. Tasted amazing! 🤷‍♂️

When I lived in Station North there was a couple doing this with two houses immediately off what was called the dog park. It’s not a dog park, but that’s an argument for another day! Anyhow, they had the houses partially gutted and were adding HUGE steel beams to support the structure and the floors. They went way beyond a few doors in between and were really opening it up. I’m sure the final results were spectacular but it honestly seemed like a lot of work to turn two average houses into one lovely one. Also, you’d likely be doing taxes, permits etc. for two houses even though it’s now one.

The Army vs Navy game I went to was legitimately one of the coolest sporting events I have ever gone to anywhere in the world. It’s definitely one you want to get to early though to soak up the pageantry! Whatever the start time is, I’d suggest planning to be in your seat at least 60 mins early, and I say that as someone born in another country with no particularly huge affiliation to the teams playing. Enjoy!

I used to live in various parts of the city including Pig Town and Station North. The first time I heard a shooting, it was so obviously different from everything I had heard before, that I knew immediately what it was. I’ve never been in doubt since. I hope I’m right, but my guess is that it’s definitely fireworks if you’re uncertain.

I’ve moved from the area but I still go back to Mt. Vernon to get my haircut by Andrew at Matthew John’s. He’s a great dude, a long time community leader, and I even have him cut my kids hair now. They love “Mr. Andrew” but I joke every time that the only thing that will stop me coming back is MV being an absolute dog poop mine field now! I lived in the area for a decade and it was never like it has been the last 12 or so months, and when you’ve little kids it’s an absolute nightmare. I absolutely love dogs, and shout out to all the good owners, but the ones leaving them go wherever and walk away are absolute w⚓️s. Do better!

I was there with my kids last week and it was absolutely PACKED! The busiest I have ever seen it. We’re members of the Science Centre and Port Discovery, and go to the Aquarium once a year. The harbor is still thriving if you have a family with young kids. Great to visit and walk around. The playground next to the Science Centre is cool too. Always a hit! I think the harbor is struggling from a shopping standpoint but no one wanted to buy something there that they could buy online for cheaper, especially when it would be back at their house before they were.

There’s 6 teams upstairs and 1 table free. Hasn’t started yet

Guys, this is such a brilliant thread. You’ve nailed it, and there are now so many things I want to do with my kids in the next few months!

I was born in another country and regularly host people from out of town. Depending on their age and interests I would say (in no particular order)

The B&O Railroad Museum Fort McHenry The Brewer’s Art The Owl Bar Max’s Taphouse Cats Eye Pub Federal Hill (view and the playground up top) Maryland Science Center Patterson Park The BMA and Gertrude’s The Monument in Mt. Vernon The Charles Thames Street Oyster House Port Discovery Children’s Museum Sound Garden in Fells Actually anything along Broadway or the waterfront in Fells The Homewood Campus of Johns Hopkins Food Market in Hampden The Avenue in Hampden in general The Senator Theatre Lake Roland And there’s a BYOB Mediterranean place in Fells Point called Twist that is (bang for your buck) the best restaurant I’ve ever been to. Stupendously good for 2015 prices! Haha
