BGE- $40-100, summer-winter, and that’s being very conservative with the gas heat and oven usage. Water is billed from landlord and divided amongst apartments, usually around $60.

Public transportation is not great. However if you live in CV by the campus you’ll find pretty much everything you need within a few blocks-under a mile. Most of the stores and restaurants in the immediate area are accessible (thinking about Saint Paul between 31-33 streets). The CV Safeway and Waverly Giant are nearby as well. Accessible housing might be hard to come by, a lot of the apartments around campus are in renovated row homes. If your budget allows I’d look at newer buildings in the area. Additionally, JHU has shuttles, though I’m not sure if they’re accessible or reliable.

Metro/Otto/Soundstage. Check the shows 3/26 at Metro and 4/2 at Ottobar. Metal Monday is every Monday at Ottobar (more of just a hang out, but if you want to get to know some folks…)

Byyyyyyye

Thirding. Most of the areas off the main drag feel suburban but there are all kinds of amenities within walking distance. Tons of young families. The farmer’s market is awesome. Check out Hamilton-Lauraville Mainstreet.Hampden might fit your criteria but definitely has more of the issues that come with “city life”.

Eta: maybe check out Medfield? Walking distance to Hampden, close to multiple grocery stores, but a little more residential and quiet.

As someone who will be trying to buy in the next year or two this is depressing as fuck.

The amount of people wanting to buy houses and move to Baltimore sight unseen in this sub is kind of scary.

This is the worst thing I have ever read in my entire life.

Also BCAN usually does a monthly (?) roundup of grants.

You wanna get on the BOPA artist connection newsletter

Juniper Culinary Apothecary just posted to their stories that they have dried floral available.

Soundstage is like 5 minutes from the highway, you’ll be fine.

JBGB across the street from Ottobar does pizza too. I can’t speak to the quality but if you’re looking to keep things within walking distance it’s right there.

A review of that Motel 6.

Okey doke

It took me less than a minute to find his name and look into his record.

Flora or Crafted.

It depends what time you leave, but I leave between 10-noon and take Saint Paul all the way down- it’s almost always faster (and has been since around March of 2020).

Ride the 70 bus enough times and you’ll never pronounce it “ingrahm” again.

Flora or Crafted, you can find both on Instagram.

Worst take.

“The average residential electric bill will increase by $2.97 per month and the average residential natural gas bill will increase by $3.08 per month.” Doesn’t seem accurately represented here 😂

My bill was only through 12/20 before the cold hit and was still $116 for a single person in a 2 bedroom (with new windows) keeping the thermostat at 67/65°. It’s wild.

$116, 2 bedroom above-ground basement, one person. I keep the heat at 67 during the day and 65 at night 😑

Agree with what everyone else is saying re: illegal lockout but also GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Save those texts and emails.
