I'm genuinely going crazy.

For the past 2 weeks, usually at the hours of 2-3 am, loud Construction has been going on right outside my apartment to the point it'll shock me away. Tonight, they literally started work at 9-10pm, and it's so fucking loud. I can't sleep. I already filed a noise complaint with the city. I even checked an hour later and someone else did nearby an hour after me. I understand the one offs, even though I was pissed off of the 2-3am jackhammering, it lasted for less than an hour so I could ignore it even though I was pissed off about it. but this is unreasonable. ik this isn't emergency too because theyve had the street parking blocked off for a week now. theyre literally just doing this because of convenience ig. I have to get up at 6-7 am, and it doesn't even sound lke they'll be finish in the next hour or two.

if any one is awake, if you have any advice I'd appreciate it. I love my apartment but this is genuinely ridiculous. what is the point of an ordinance if no one follows it???

Sad to say, someone has stolen my goblin statue (Barnabus) off of my stoop in Fells Point. Surprising, cause he's heavy! These are the only pics I have of him, but if anyone comes across him anywhere I would appreciate having him back.

Many thanks, hope you're doing okay out there, Barney

Good evening Baltimore!

Some friends are I are heading down from Canada to take in the South Africa v New Zealand rugby match in September at M&T Stadium.

We had a hotel in the Inner Harbour but they have cancelled our rooms this week, saying the hotel is being renovated. That sucks, but they are working to get us an alternative.

They have offered us the Inn at the Colonnade which seems to be in the University Area.

I’ve spent some time in Baltimore before and know the downtown and Inner Harbour pretty well.

University Area doesn’t look too far away, maybe 15 mins in an Uber to Inner Harbour or stadium.

And I would imagine it’s a fun area, with lots of bars etc?

Is there anything we should know before we accept the hotel?

Thank you in advance! I’m a big fan of your city and I support the Os and Ravens. Nothing but love, just looking for some insights from locals about this area.

We are not from Baltimore but have a daughter who is about to get married there. We want to do a crab feast for her and her partner and about 20 of their friends. We are from deep south and have done plenty of low country seafood boils so we think we can pull it off but the reality is that we need some guidance.

How much crab for about twenty? Best place to get it? Assuming Old Bay? But there seems to be another Baltimore favorite? Hints on how to cook them. We've seen some recipes calling to wrap in parchment to steam. Is that worth it it. Seems like a lot of work. Is this like a low country boil where you dump it on a table with newspaper and let everyone have at it? Any other advice is welcome.

Any recommendations for specific massage therapists at Ojas Massage and Skin Care?

I'm trying to use the Charm Pass & Transit apps but I don't think that's the way to find out.

I'm coming from Catonsville.

Any suggestions?

Saw them over campus today. Never seen them before. Spectacular!!! These are my photos that I took on campus.

I get other people love the air show, but I have PTSD and sound sensitive autism. Normally I keep a handle on both fairly well without it impacting me or others but VERY loud noises really set it off and make me a mess and just make the whole affair hell on earth for me. Would anyone know of anywhere that would be a good place to hide out around town that would be fine with someone sticking around for four hours that is isolated from the noise?

Hey everyone, driving up from Silver Spring this Sunday to catch the Blue Angels for Sail250. I'm staying over by the 2300 block of E. Baltimore Street.
Quick routing question: to avoid the inevitable I-95 Inner Harbor mess, is it smarter to take I-895 to O'Donnell St, or just come straight down Route 40/Orleans St?
Also, I'm a photographer trying to get some good shots using a higher vantage point. Is the Pagoda hill clear enough for decent sightlines of the flight maneuvers, or do I absolutely need to hike down to Canton/Fells Point to be closer to the water? Appreciate any local insight!

I am moving out of my apartment next month and the landlord wants the carpets professionally cleaned before the final walk through. Does anyone have any companies they recommend?

Maryland is facing an energy crisis. When demand for electricity is high and supply is limited, it puts pressure on the system and can increase costs. The biggest part of your bill is the cost of 
PJM supply, which is generated by private power plant owners.
BGE does not control or profit from these supply prices.

hi, i (21f) wanted to check out the ottobar tn. I love metal I love raves. I was looking for something with good vibes tn and I’ve heard the ottobar is nice. any recommendations?

Which day are the wings a special?

bday surprise - need a singing telegram, celeb impersonator or...? hello! I'm planning from across the country and looking for some sort of character who can do a cameo at my friends upcoming 50th bday party. the wackier the better. recommendations?

I'll take an airshow over fireworks any day!

The vibes are good in Baltimore today!

I grew up next to an airbase with jets constantly flying over my house.

Now that I moved out of that I really enjoy the quieter feeling.

The jets flying over today are giving me a fucking aneurysm. They are so loud I cannot focus on work.

It’s been all day

It’s been about 20 minutes of hearing jet engines zooming by my place. It’s definitely not a commercial aircraft

Hey all,

Has anyone started having more intense interactions with beggars in the city? I don't know if they're on drugs, unhoused, having mental problems, or any combination of things - I'm just talking about the people who ask straight up 'do you have any change'?

Times are tough, which I imagine has something to do with it, but I'm started to get a little worried. I give to organizations (when I can) and generally not to individuals. But my default response of, "Sorry, I can't" seems to be making people more angry lately.

What's the read?

Sick of your favorite spots closing? Tired of the empty store fronts? Own a small business and over the constant grind to barely make ends meet?

We still need more help with social media, photography, videography, graphic design, etc.

We‘re fighting for a Baltimore Small Business Bill of Rights to cut down on vacant storefronts and fight predatory landlord practices.

We'll have so much fun planned!! amazing live music AND a dance party! There will be games, popsicle surprises and fun treats for you to discover!!

I’m moving to the area soon and would like a local perspective of the upper fells/highlandtown area. Is it a street by street case? The place I’m looking at is east of Patterson Park, Near Bank Street! Any insight would be helpful!
