I know exactly how reddit works, but for someone whose screen name is "Baltnerdist," to not even have basic knowledge of Mosby (hell, both Mosbys), I find it to be obnoxious.

Maybe instead, you Google a bit, get your basic facts lined up and ask questions, like, "How the hell did it take this long for them to get charged?" or, "Why/how do they keep getting elected?" (Which are coincidentally questions I think a lot of us still have.)

It has absolutely nothing to do with how reddit works. It's more about how you chose to post. And if folks disagree with me, then fine. But that's my take.

"Deep dish pizza"

You misspelled "casserole."

And the actor has actually impersonated Orson Welles

These are GOLD.

>People are somewhat optimistic since there’s no way it can get worse.

Famous last words.

Self-aggrandizing story time: I discovered Paper Moon by accident in 2002. I was in college and had come up via DC to visit with a woman I met at Nation's goth night. Then I hooked back up with friends nearby and we just drove in a random direction (her house was in a sketchy area and I just wanted to get away) and ended up in Remington. Then I discovered Angelfall Studios (where Charm City Cakes is now) which was home to some amazing musicians and artists I had recently discovered. Then we went to Paper Moon and I had an AMAZING brunch. I remember it so distinctly... a spinach and cheese omelette that just hit the spot. And the place was just all kinds of neat for a 20ish college student from VA. Especially for a theatre nerd and John Waters fan.

There was no planning. I had no idea where I was going. The only time I had been in Baltimore previously was for O's games with my family and a few punk shows for which I didn't drive. If I believed in divine providence, that day, that would be why.

Years later after DC had its way with me, my wife and I moved to Baltimore for work in 2015 and chose Remington because of that random memory. I was so disappointed that Paper Moon had gone downhill. But we spent many a late morning breakfast at The Dizz before it shut down. Sad that PM is still around but haven't recaptured the magic.

I've personally only seen this in areas like Remington or Hampden. But of course, I'm sure they're elsewhere and there's certainly not a monolith.

Hard disagree. While there's lots about the city that's good, there's no denying that there are some serious and systemic problems in the city and that its reputation is reflected by those problems in the media. Even if the hyperbole surrounding those problems doesn't match the nuance or complicated nature of them, you can't deny the reality that the perception of the city is lacking.

You can be offended all you want, but it doesn't invalidate a lot of the reasons people have left the city, nor their experiences in dealing with the city's problems at the ground level.

I've been playing Boggle for years and I would love to play more.

If I have the $ (they don't give any ticket prices yet), I'd totally go to see Stevie. Maybe someone can convince Billy Joel to play "We Didn't Start the Fire" first and then I can leave.

I hope Stevie goes first, otherwise you'll have a lot of old goths annoyed that they have to listen to Billy Joel.

My co-worker's daughter worked at the new(ish) Charmery by Merriwether. Seemed like fun for a kid that age.

I think you mean Scitino's in Catonsville? Absolutely love it.

Catonsville is very "inner suburb" or "edge of the city" kind of vibe. I absolutely love it. Safe, mostly quiet, but still tons of stuff that's walkable, a cohesive community and neighborhood, but also very diverse. Not as many "young" people here but you'll find younger folk in Parkville and Towson, I think.

Most parts of Baltimore County that are right off the Beltway are pretty nice and even some are affordable. But I'd stay away from Dundalk.

A communications manager position I interviewed for at MDOT was around $90K. In fact, most government work pays at least a little above the median if not more. Most federal jobs pay quite well especially for the metro region.

It's not government work, but rather Baltimore City government work. We have an exodus of our residents, thus our tax base, thus our funding for government workers.

Belongs on r/fellowkids.

They're doing their job poorly, though. You can't go on a social media site, get called out for something and respond the way they have so far. I'm a 14 year comms professional and you either don't respond at all to these kinds of comments and just let it be (so it doesn't acquire more attention) or you formulate a measured response such as "This position's salary range is commensurate with the experience we are seeking within our budgetary requirements."

It's really that easy.

Salary is too low for a supervisor. You're not going to get a lot of qualified or appropriate candidates.

I'm from SS, lived in Baltimore city and now in Catonsville.

It's not the best commute. Nowadays I commute to North Bethesda about once a week and it's a schlep. I usually go via 29 but occasionally take 95 if the Beltway isn't too bad. But even 29 is a pain because once you pass Rt 200, it's dense.

The difference in housing price has to be really worth it to make such a challenging commute.

I don't think it's "sad" but the argument had absolutely nothing to do with OP and it's just better to mind one's business instead of coming across as a slack-jawed onlooker.

The book you should bring if you wanna get dismissed is either We Own This City or I Got a Monster. Of course this is Baltimore so they often just take warm bodies.

Hilariously, I didn't get dismissed even though my employer was a civil justice org that, among other things, has a huge criminal defense and civil rights component.

Their main source was the owner of the joint so at the least, they didn't get the other side of the story and took him at his word, which is shitty journalism and not a bit surprising. Though a non-sourced testimonial from a random redditor also might not pass a credibility test, it's certainly more believable than anything that network puts out.

Even if the piece is skewed, it still exemplifies the unintended consequences of trying to have a non-alcoholic establishment for late night food when there's both legitimate and non-legitimate perceptions of the city being a violent place.

As I recall, a late night place was told by the city to close by a certain time (apologies for the FOX45 link but every other site was paywalled) in part because of how many violent incidents have happened near there at night (nevermind it's a shitty joint with a shitty owner that overcharges drunk people for shitty pizza).

If it weren't for the real and perceived public safety issues in the city, the demand for late night food would be there and the labor market would probably respond accordingly.

Ouch. That sucks.

But also me.
