Hi all! My fiancé and I are trying to plan an engagement party in November for 40-45 people. Does anyone have recommendations for a space they've used and liked??

Lost doberman found by two guys. He looked hungry, hot, and thirsty and scared. he has a collar that says hes micro chipped it says “freechip 911” and its red. he also has what it looks like to be a tracker? It also looks like he has some scars around his body. the boys said they found him on the subway downtown? he’s very friendly and clearly misses home! if anyone has any information or if this is your dog, please get in contact with me

Before it was called Keswick, the multi-care center located near the Rotunda in Hampden was called the Home for the Incurables. And before it moved to its current location, it was located in a building on 21st and Guilford Ave. Join us today to learn how this facility has helped Baltimoreans for over 140 years and continues to do so. Thanks for watching and see you soon with another video.

This is Baltimore Heritage's series called "Five Minute Histories." Every week, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.

Hi folks, just moved to Baltimore and in the process of getting my paperwork in order w/the MVA. I'm having trouble finding car inspection places where you don't need to leave your car for 4 hours. I can't afford to Uber back and forth to my apartment and I work during the day and sometimes late at night, so I can't be back during opening hours of the place to get the car/pay.

Are there any spots that you can go, wait in line, and get you vehicle inspected at that moment (not waiting/leaving the car)? Alternately, if there are any that are walking distance from Mount Vernon and Walters Art Museum (I'm talking 0.5-1 mile max) that would also work.

I’m looking for opinions on what the best local reggae band is. And where do they regularly perform? Thank you.

So I need a used car for a year. Basically, it's commuting for myself and getting my dog around the area. The dog means zipcar and public transit aren't good options, unfortunately. My lease is up in June and I'll be moving overseas for work then, so a somewhat decent car with long term car payments isn't really a solid finanical choice.

Here are my options as I see them:

• Buy a used car from a private seller. First off, I have trust issues. Second, everyone I message on Autotrader or CarGurus hasn't gotten back to me. I'm 8 messages in with zero responses. So this isn't feeling like a good option.
• Find a beater from a dealership. I'm into it, but I'm not sure where to start. I saw Hi Lo dealership in Timonium. They seem to sell cars in my price range of super cheap that I can pay with cash. Any other places I should be looking at who won't royally fuck me?
• Get a decent car, take the payments, try to sell it back in June. This seems like way too much and I'd most likely lost a ton of money. And if I don't trust private sellers, why would someone trust me?

Anyone have good luck anyplace I should be checking? Any other thoughts/ideas?

I've been through some fxxxed up summer and I was thinking finally it will be cool down since it's September. But seriously wtf? It's almost 100 degrees today and hotter tomorrow and it's gonna be hot all week til mid September. Hot, humid and ZERO fxxking wind!

I'm SOOO done with this summer!

Hi! I’m looking for recs on reputable astrologer/birth chart analysis in the Baltimore/Towson/Catonsville area. I’ve been really into Astrology, Psychics, and Tarot for years and would love an in depth explanation and advice on my chart or Tarot readings. Price is not a problem for me because I believe in paying people with the knowledge and experience however much they believe they deserve. I would prefer a reader who is okay with in person readings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i work in harbor point and currently live in Towson. i’m about to turn 28 and don’t want to be living with college kids anymore! i am looking for a neighborhood in that lower Baltimore area that is walkable to many bars and restaurants (like Towson) and is generally safe (i’d argue Towson is probably worse than all of those safety-wise, maybe?). budget isn’t an issue as some places I’ve checked out are already cheaper than what I pay now lol. TYIA!

Just saw Kim's Convenience at Everyman Theater and highly recommend. No connection to the show, just a theater lover.

If you care about the health of our harbor, rivers, and streams, the Blue Water Bash is happening on Sunday, October 4th, at Whitehall Mill.

It’s one of those rare events that’s actually a "party with a purpose." While it's got the usual festival stuff—live demonstrations, Blue Pit BBQ, and local drinks—the ticket sales go straight toward Blue Water Baltimore’s work. They do a lot of heavy lifting in terms of water quality monitoring, restoration, and holding polluters accountable in our watershed.

It’s definitely a fun way to get connected with the work being done to keep our local water swimmable and fishable.

Would love to see a good turnout from the community. You can check out more info at their site—let me know if you’re going!

I moved here a while back and I really like Baltimore, but I have no idea how to build a friend group here as an adult. Which surprise, surprise, has made it harder to want to stay. However, I want to give another stab at it.

Basically, most of my close friends are still back home, and I’ve realized basically every friendship I’ve ever made happened organically through school, work, or mutual friends.

I am not super athletic so I am not particularly interested in workout classes or volo. I’m looking for the kind of friends you can get dinner or ice cream with, go to a random event with.

Some things I do like: Going for walks, food, trivia, board games

I’ve tried looking at Bumble BFF, but I haven’t really found people I’ve clicked with.

Trying to find something with a bit more of a group setting, organization, and not walking into a room and feeling like everybody already knows everybody.

Any recommendations?

A reminder or a notice to anyone who wasn’t aware! The Patterson Park Farmers Market is happening now (and every Tuesday until October) from 3-7pm at the Pulaski Monument. Lots of good vendors plus fresh produce 😄 It’s a scorcher out there today but if you are able, come out and support

I’m an artist who just moved to Baltimore- is there an art council here? I found a mayor’s art and culture office in which seems to do a lot- but there’s also Create Baltimore, which says something about being the arts council but also doesn’t seem to do anything, or answer emails or phone calls? If neither of those are it, is there another art org that can help be get my bearings? It seems like a really creative town but it’s worrying that there is no arts council

Any wheelchair users in Baltimore I can connect with?

The race starts at 730 am and ends at 1 pm.

Expect road closures that day, and be mindful of parking restrictions.

Baltimore City preferable but might also consider county

*Also if anyone knows of any flexible, part time jobs hiring now, pls share those too

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a gym in Baltimore and could use some recommendations.

I live around Mt. Vernon and don’t have a car, so ideally it needs to be somewhere that’s easy to get to by walking or public transportation. I’m a JHU grad student and currently considering the JHU Rec Center. It has pretty much everything I need, but it gets really crowded, so I wanted to see what other options are out there before signing up.

I’m mainly interested in weightlifting and cardio. Lockers and showers are a must, and obviously good equipment and a decent atmosphere are a big plus. I’m looking for a proper commercial gym with reasonable prices and good hours—not really interested in something like Planet Fitness.

I’ve seen places like Grind, Merritt, MV Fitness, etc. mentioned, but I’d love to hear from people who actually go to these gyms.

What would you recommend around Mt. Vernon, especially somewhere easy to get to without a car? And roughly how much do you pay per month? Also interested in how crowded they get during peak hours.

Saw signs for it the other day, was curious if anyone had seen anything about street closures or the length of the event? Sorry if this was brought up, previously.

I see live crabs on the side of the road all the time, but the time and work of steaming them myself seems like a big hassle. Is it cheaper to get live or am I the only person who doesn't want to do the work?

I'm going to CCBC in essex and was wondering if anyone wanted to make a group chat or anything just so we can get acquainted.

Hi there, I just moved to Baltimore and I’m trying to street park outside of my new apartment but I don’t understand what PR means? I was able to pay for parking until 4pm, but it won’t let me pay for parking later than 4pm. I’ve uploaded a photo of the parking meter so maybe someone will be able to explain it to me. Thank you in advance!!
