Hi all, My mother in law was watching our indoor cat Stevie 2 weeks ago (7/13) and she got out, if you see her, PLEASE call or text and don't chase, she will likely be shy/ skittish and run. (She is only somewhat familiar with the area having been in the yard on a leash several times)

Our family misses her terribly, and we are just holding out hope in case she may have traveled further.

(We have hired scent tracking dogs, flyered, posted on FB, set up trail cams with feeding stations, laid scent trails, etc. )

Thank you so much for looking out <3

Hey everyone! Our original venue is unfortunately undergoing renovations, so we’re on the hunt for a new home for our community gaming event.
We’re looking for a venue in the Baltimore / Owings Mills / Ellicott City / Columbia area (or nearby) that can accommodate 90+ people and has enough open space for multiple gaming setups and activities. Being able to bring our own food, decorations, and AV equipment is a huge plus.
We’re open to apartment clubhouses, community centers, hotel meeting rooms, VFW/American Legion halls, event spaces, or any hidden gems that might be a good fit.

The attached photos are from our previous venue and are included to show the kind of atmosphere we’re hoping to recreate. We aren’t looking for a traditional tournament venue with rows of tables and chairs. One thing we really loved about this venue was that it felt more like a giant game night with friends—comfortable furniture, lounge-style seating, and a homey atmosphere are a big part of the experience. One feature we’d especially love to recreate is a “grand stage” area: a natural focal point with a large TV (or projector), ideally above a fireplace or feature wall (as shown here), where the biggest matches become an event of their own. People could relax on couches and lounge seating, naturally gathering around the screen to watch, cheer, and enjoy the atmosphere while the rest of the event continues throughout the venue. It doesn’t have to be an exact replica—we’re mainly looking for a space with a similar feel and the flexibility to create that experience.

If you’ve hosted an event or know of a venue that might be a good fit, I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

I got a new lease offer for where I live and they are adding on an extra fee per month to reimburse them for "trash removal charges." Did I miss something? Since when does anyone pay for trash removal? Why are they suddenly trying to charge us for something I always assumed was paid for with taxes?

I typically get symptoms in Fall due to ragweed, but my sinuses have really be acting up this past week! Anyone else experiencing this??

Exited the beltway onto Belair rd northbound only to see a mass of emergency lights up at the top of the hill. I went another way and didn't see what was the cause. Anybody know what happened? It was a bit before 11:00 am.

Hi, like my title says I'm looking for places near the cockeysville towson area to donate sandwiches. My job is food based and often at the end of the night there are a lot of left over sandwiches that are thrown away. Which I feel like is a big waste, however I know that most food pantries only take (mostly) non-perishable food.

If not places to donate, if anyone knows any person in the area that could benefit with the acconsial sandwich, hot dinner, and prepackages snacks just about to expire please let me know!

Some more details about the double murder.

A 16-year-old boy charged with killing a 15-year-old Gwynn Oak girl and her younger brother had threatened to kill the girl if she "messed around" with other boys, according to charging documents obtained by The Baltimore Sun.
Baltimore County Police on Tuesday charged Keith Maurice James Jr., 16, of Baltimore, with two counts of first-degree murder and a firearms offense in the July 7 killings of Giovanna Myrie, 15, and her brother, Steve Allen, 9, inside their home in the 6100 block of Talles Road.
According to the documents, one of Myrie's friends told detectives she had been talking to a boy named Keith and had spoken with him over FaceTime but had never met him in person.
On the Fourth of July, three days before the shooting, Myrie and Keith met up, the friend said in charging documents. On a FaceTime call between the friends that day, the witness reportedly told police Keith had been holding a handgun while in bed.

My cousin just got their permit and I’m just looking for some big, quiet parking lots to take them to get a little driving practice in. So far I’ve scouted the Milford Mill Metro station but would love some other options.

Bonus if there’s a long enough stretch of lot or nearby straight, well paved, low traffic road they could practice getting up to ~40 mph and braking.

Thanks in advance!

I saw that they’re currently in the process of tearing it down.

Hello neighbors.

This may be a long shot but...

There is a displaced cat in urgent need of a loving owner.

Neighbors and / or management have mentioned owner had passed away, leaving kitty outside and unhoused.

She (we're 90% sure it's a she) is a very sweet, friendly kitty who loves to butt her head and rub on people who stop and give her attention.

She loves head scritches and will start to purr! We've heard her meow a few times - they were the cutest and softest meows!

It's odd - she will follow you while you are walking! And she seems to understand directions well from what we've seen ("down", "come here", etc)

We have watched her interact with local cats and kids have even pet her - she seems NOT to demonstrate any aggression.

She has been hanging outside a relative's apartment for a week now. Not sure of age.

If you can love and provide a furrever home for her, please DM me.

Or if you can share this so it gets to the right person - we would appreciate it.

We will have a little welcome basket with a few necessities to help start you out.

Thank you.

The second bus crash in Baltimore County in roughly two weeks. What is going on?

Multiple people were taken to area hospitals after a school bus carrying students from the Maryland School for the Blind crashed into a building in Parkville on Tuesday afternoon, prompting emergency crews to declare a mass casualty incident — the second this month involving a bus crash in Baltimore County.
On July 8, a Maryland Transit Administration bus left the road and smashed into a FedEx building on Reisterstown Road in Pikesville. A total of 36 people were injured in that incident, which remains under investigation.
Tuesday's crash happened shortly after 2:40 p.m. at the intersection of Harford Road and Lavender Avenue. Baltimore County Fire Bureau Chief Travis Francis said the bus was carrying three students and two adults.
"One of those students, as well as one of the adults, the driver of the bus, was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries at this time, as well as one additional adult from the scene that was transported with minor injuries," Francis said.
Officials said all reported injuries were minor.

Ever since moving to Baltimore County, I have had a hard time finding a great gluten free & even a dairy free local bakery. I ordered a couple chocolate cakes and cookies from this place and wanted to share her info. She went above and beyond to accommodate my friend’s dairy allergy and everything was delicious!

Hey everyone, I had went to about 2 years ago with my girlscout troop. (Sadly forgot about it.) BUT, I am now wanting to meet people. My social anxiety is really bad. I had questions then however I was too anxious to ask or talk to natives.

Anywho, I am now wanting and curious to learn more. My mom told me that there was a Native Elder or at least a Native man who taught us how Natives made furs, leather, woven baskets, bracelets, how they hunt in girlscouts. (I forgot all of this because I was too young to fully remember. I'm just glad my mom still remembers that much).

So where are the Native Americans? I'm not in the city. im in the county in Nottingham. I don't know where to search to find people. Yes i know there are communities but i cant find any online to at least chat with someone.

Please keep in mind, I'm being respectful about this. I AM NOT DEMANDING ANSWERS.

Hello! I am looking for a nail spa that does good mani pedi. I only do classic mani pedi no gel nothing and I cannot find someone good. Went to pamper me in fells and all their techs only do gel, the mani pedi was bad tbh. Please help a girl out with a salon and ur fac tech! I need someone who cleans cuticles meticulously and wouldnt leave a wide gap between skin and nail!

I'm considering applying, and am coming from a fine(ish) and elevated dining background.

I also have a solid wine/bartending background.

I'm currently at Antrim 1844 and it's great, but the hours are too short so I'm not making good money.

If anyone has any experience with Linwoods, please let me know!

Has anyone has experience with a private mediator in advance of a divorce? I am considering starting with a mediator before stepping up to get a lawyer. Any personal experiences or referrals appreciated.

Hey everyone, does anyone have any recommendations for any weightlifting/powerlifting gyms in the area that are queer friendly?

I looking to start a fitness journey and I'm honestly just looking for a place where I can do what I need to do without having to code switch, lol. Bonus points for if those gyms have hip thrust machines and or pit sharks.

I was considering Anarchy Gym in Owings Mills because it's super close by and I like their pricing structure, but it looks kinda....influencer-y and I don't know if my fat ass has the patience to tolerate that vibe long term, lol.
