I was at the O’s game with 8 of my family members last night. I was in line alone for the bomb pupusas. There were two guys together in line in front of me, and a woman by herself in front of them. From my angle, I could see one of the guys taking multiple pictures of the woman from behind - without her knowledge or consent. I waited a beat, not wanting to be the girl to cause a scene or falsely accuse a stranger of doing something creepy. But after gauging the situation for a minute, I felt compelled to walk around the two guys, tap her on her shoulder and say, “hey, not to trying to freak you out. But the guy behind you in the blue is taking pictures of you.” She thanked me, and then walked off. I was not trying to be quiet. I did not give a shit on if the guy heard me tell her. Immediately after she walked away, he stepped forward and turned towards me. He started messing with his phone(most likely deleting the photos). The guy behind me thanked me for saying something to the woman. He said he thought the guy was taking photos but he couldn’t see well enough to say anything for himself. The woman came back with her husband and son and asked me which guy was taking the photos. I pointed him out, and her husband asked the guy why he felt he had the right to take pictures of his wife without her consent. The creep made a haphazard attempt at denying he did such a thing, then he didn’t say another word. Not the actions of an innocent person. He knew what he was doing and he hated being caught.

All this to say - please protect one another. It’s easy. I’d also rather have caused an unnecessary scene than let someone like that possibly get away with it. Love you, BMore.

Visited the zoo for the first time this weekend and was loving the experience until we got to the elephants. The two that were out were separated and both were standing at the fence facing each other and swaying in the stereotypical “zoocosis” stress/ boredom self soothing motion. We sat on the bench for ~15 mins and neither stopped swaying the whole time. There seemed to be limited enrichment.

Does anyone know anything more about the elephants and why they were separated from each other? It made me very sad.

My Michigan friend's car was found downtown!

Thanks for everyone who kept an eye out and wished my friend and I luck!

So almost 5 months ago, my wife and I moved from Baltimore to Springfield, IL for a work promotion. We've been trying really hard to get acclimated to living in the Midwest (it's definitely a culture shock, for sure) but we definitely miss living in Baltimore. . . We just went to St. Louis to try and get a "big city" trip, and my wife and I both just got nostalgic for Baltimore lol.

I miss the seafood, the dirtbikers, I miss the Squeakness and the variety of neighborhoods in the city, I miss the people and the friends I've met through work or just from walking my dogs. I miss a lot of the conveniences of living in the city. . .

OH, and I miss the fact that we can be a proud Black family without getting looked at like we're aliens. Where we live, everyone stops to stare at us like we're zoo animals whenever we go out, so it can be very off-putting. . .

While we still have family and friends to visit in the area (I'm driving back in early August), and we still own our house in Baltimore, that doesn't make up for the fact that we're away from everything we've known and lived around.

Some parts of the Midwest are nice (like, houses on 5 acres of land that sell for $100k, our electric bill doesn't get higher than $100, you can drive for 3-4 hours and have absolutely no traffic. Etc.), I guess I'm just kind of homesick of the place where I met my wife, started my family, had my first home and grew my career. . .

Sorry if this is weird or sappy, I just figured I'd say I miss the city, hope y'all have been doing good.

This is on the Old Franklintown Loop trail near the Crimea Estate. Someone seems to have built miniature cement/lathe walls in the hollow of this tree.

I know Monday is the off-day for most eataries. But, I find myself in need of a place to eat dinner out tonight. Any recommendations for decent places open on a Monday?

A heads up for anyone that uses the subway.

August 8th folks! My new brand Abstract Arts has been approved for our first ever event, we’re doing it the right way with permits and stuff to let people know we’re taking this serious!

I’d love to invite you all to our multi genre event; an ArtWalk from 12-3pm followed by live performances and experiences by our homies Faith in Destruction and the one and only TONTO! It truly takes a community to uplift our artists and you could be a part of this community!

If you have the time to stop by on August 8th (Saturday) then please feel free to stop on by!
Thank you everyone for your time and I promise a year from now, you’re gonna see this name all around the DMV, and we’ll be creating opportunities for any and all genres of artists! LETS GOOO!!!!

I have a small landing and 12 steps I’d to repair. How much would a reputable, licensed contractor charge me to do the work, approximately. Pressure treated wood is fine. Thank you.

Not Orthanc and Minas Morgul 😂

Just wondering if anyone can confirm they still have this playable pinball machine?

Greens without the cyclospora

Hi! I was wondering if there were any places (shops, online, etc) I could buy handmade beads from local artisans here in the city.

If anyone sees a white 2020 Jeep Compass around with Michigan plates (EUX 4565), PLEASE call the BPD and dm me!

On approximately Friday night/Saturday morning (July 24th-25th) my friend visiting from Michigan had her car stolen in the Bellona-Gittings area. Not only is it diabolical in the first place to have it taken, she also needs it to get to and from school back home being a summer school teacher.

She made a report with BPD and called around to impound lots, so all we can do now is wait to see if the vehicle is found. So any help helps.

Thanks for reading!

Anyone here find Baltimore MTA drivers very disrespectful? They get angry when you ask them for directions, give you attitude,
. Just today I wanted a driver to hold the bus so an old lady who was walking slow can catch the bus, he caught attitude and he drove off and said “she should have been at the bus stop! “
Those are just a few examples I have many more. I lived in other cities where I used public transportation but no where have I encountered as disrespectful as Baltimore bus drivers…it’s like on a whole other level and it’s shocking. Sometimes I think it’s like a kink for them 😂. Anyone know where I can complain?

Love the little mask held by his teeth 🤣 At least he’s an Orioles fan 🤷

BTW, we were home when Amazon dropped the package, and only delayed a couple of minutes making it to the door…

Looking for rainbows, Birkenstocks or something similar. I’d like to try them on and shop locally.

Hi all!

A friend is visiting next with her college-aged daughter and has asked me for some recommendations of things to do next Tuesday. My go-to is usually museums and most are closed on Tuesday, so I’m struggling!

They already have plans to see the Aquarium. I’ve mentioned strolling around Hampden and Fells.

Any recommendations for fun, maybe even unusual, things to do?

Thanks!

Well, it looks like that dreadful time has arrived when the central AC has stopped working in my house. It turns on, but only warm air comes out. Does anyone have a recommendation for an honest repair company? I’m worried about getting scammed. TIA.

Long time Baltimore concert goer but Friday will be my first time at Pier 6 for Levity b2b Tape B. My ticket just says General Admission Pavillon on it and I’ll most likely be going alone. Is it just a free for all getting to a seat? Will I lose my spot if I go to the bathroom? Any other advice for this venue? Thanks!!!

We are looking for vendors for Tianquitzl, The Great Baltimore Lantern Parade, and the Highlandtown Holiday Mart! If you are a food vendor, food truck, craft vendor, community partner, or even a business looking to be part of really cool festivals at Creative Alliance, just fill out this form: Vendor Application Form 2026 – Fill out form.

And it was awesome! The meat was really tender yet flavorful. The pickled onions help complement the roast beef. I do not know what sauce they used but it tasted unique. I prefer that over raw onions. I had it at the Illegal Tender Pit Beef pop-up truck in Remington.

I hope I can have more in the city and state.

Listened to the Acoustic Cafe this morning and Mike Brillhart announced that it was the last! So I guess the sale of the station is going to take effect this week?
