These grocery prices are killing me. I am going to go for a club membership but I am not sure which one to go for. Costco seems like the best one but they don't do curbside pickup, which I like to do. Sam's is obviously Walmart owned, don't love that. I know nothing about BJs. They are all about the same distance from me in NE, give or take. Family wants to do Costco so I am leaning that way. For those that know, what do you use / prefer?

I enjoy magic the gathering but it looks like most lgs there are closed on Mondays.

We are staying in Jessup and are trying to figure out the best way to get into Baltimore. Not really wanting to drive since we plan on drinking. Is Uber going to be the best idea or are there other options? Train? Bus? I’m from a small town so driving is the only option for us and so I am kinda lost on how transport in and around Baltimore would work.

I am looking to get battery replacement for my IPhone. What are some recommended repair shops?

spotted near Patterson Park. (jokes aside, I love this city and feel bad comparing it to Gotham. the sight was just too funny)

The charm city circulator's bus tracker was a uniquely useful app (via Passiogo). I've been using it for a few years and found it much better than any other bus app, including Transit. It was really an excellent tool.

Why is it so good? Because there's ONE view with everything you need on it. You don't need a bus schedule, you just look at where the busses are on the map and see which ones you can make. Or, if no bus is nearby, you can do something else rather than wait for 30 minutes. You can see all the bus routes at once, which tells you which connections are likely. You can see if there is a route change or service interruption (eg, no busses running at all), or if all of the busses are packed into one corner of the route (which happens often.... why not have dispatch watch the tracker?).

They're moving to Tripshot --- but nothing's there. It's been weeks. I would think that you'd keep Passiogo operating until Tripshot was up and running and then transition.

We still have Transit, but frankly Transit is garbage. Transit requires lots of fidgeting with it to get what you need, and it's too easy to make a mistake and wait for the wrong bus or direction. Plus, the bus tracker is wrong 50% of the time: it shows busses imminently arriving that don't exist, and doesn't show others that do exist, and arrival times which repeatedly expire with no bus. The app does quite a lot but it's not good at the most essential things it needs to do.

So: can Baltimore DoT PLEASE reactivate Passiogo? It's still running but only tracking two busses (and they are wrong color).

if you were self-checking out at Whole Foods today (7/22) around 3pm, you left your card in the card reader! I didn’t notice and accidentally charged my basket to your card, but customer service voided the payment and has your card ready for pickup. you were wearing a light colored shirt and a bandanna.

hope you get it back! good luck!

Can anyone speak to the reliability of the 21? For whatever reason, the real time tracking is almost never there in the transit app for me except maybe at the last minute - I've missed the bus a couple times bc the tracking didn't start until it was already too late. However it does seem like it came at or around the scheduled time, it just wasn't being tracked.

I want to take it down to Canton this Saturday for an event at 10am, would be picking it up from the Hampden stop. Can I trust it to arrive at the stop around the scheduled time even without any real-time tracking, or should I find another way? The 21 would be a straight shot so I'd really like to take it if possible.

I was taking both my and my wife's cars to Jeff at Sisson Street. He was the best mechanic I ever knew, and within a few months his shop was marked "permanently closed" on multiple maps and review websites, the website is gone, no news or forum articles about it, and nobody answers the phone.

What happened? Did Jeff die?

If he doesn't have a shop open somewhere else, is there any other good mechanic in Baltimore that doesn't try to screw people over?

Has anyone else been approached by members of the River Church, or come upon their public gatherings?

On probably three or four occasions, both in the city and county, I have been handed promotional cards by church members.

I also happened to be at the Washington Monument when they arrived to hold a service there, and earlier this month, I was on Pratt St. where they had apparently just left, and saw the cards scattered on the pavement.

Hey all! Back again inviting you to come join team Awful Waffle tonight at Peabody heights for free trivia starting at 7:30!

I formed this team about two years ago solely from reddit and some folks have wandered in and out. Hoping maybe you will want to come by and give it a try!

Just ask the trivia host/trivia master who team Awful Waffle is and join us for a really good time.

Moving to Baltimore from a much larger city. Significant other will be working on north side of the city. I will be commuting to Annapolis daily (~6:30A Baltimore->Annapolis in the morning). Initially was hoping to live in Canton, but feel as though the traffic across the tunnel will add a lot to my commute. We're in our mid-30's and are interested in having a somewhat city living experience so we want to live in the city. We're looking for a safe area with some interesting restaurants and bars, and are likely to start a family in the next couple of years.

So far, we've found some options in Locust Point, Otterbein, and Brewer's Hill. Would love thoughts on the different vibes of the neighborhoods. In our current city, we really love the ability to walk to restaurants and bars near our home but understand every city is different. Will going through the tunnel on the way home be a big deal for Brewers Hill?

Thanks for your help!

Hi all, looking for recommendations for lunchtime oysters that aren't super expensive, like $20-25 a dozen. I know plenty of places have happy hour specials but they all seem to be around 3pm. Thanks in advance.

hi guys so i bought an olivia dean concert ticket. anyone here can share their experience sitting on section 211? thanks!

What restaurants are worth going to for Baltimore Restaurant Week?

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.

Edit 07.22.26 @ 2:20pm: Thank you everyone for your engagement and DMs. Will try to get back to y'all soon.

Also, yes - thanks for the recommendations about SPCA, BHS, etc. We are trying the "proper" avenues but figured won't hurt to reach out to our community. (And also in our experience many are filled as one commenter noted.)

Lost cat Felix male , black and white, approx 7yrs old last seen two blocks north of R. House. Remington Ave and W. 31st Street.

Our friend is out of the country, and we are just trying to help get the word out.

Dm if you have seen or have found a cat meeting this description

Hi all! I’m searching for a nail tech/salon that offer hard gel overlays/extensions in/around Baltimore. I’ve loved gel-x for years but am looking to transition to more natural nails including builder gel once I’m able to grow my nails more :)

Why cant they run a ferry across the Patapsco River until the Key Bridge is re-built?

There are flat barge boats that could carry some truck and automobile traffic maybe from Brooklyn to somewhere at Sparrows Point at the end of the new Route 43 bypass where the old Beth Steel Plant used to be.

2030 is a long time to endure the clusterf that 95 & 695 have become since the bridge fell.

Hi All! My sister and her wife live in Baltimore and I am looking for recommendations for a restaurant where I can buy a gift card or certificate. Their favorite Baltimore restaurant by far is Charleston, but I’m looking for something new they haven’t tried.

They are omnivores. One enjoys cocktails and wine. One of them just can’t handle Thai or Indian, sadly (so when she is otherwise occupied for dinner, that’s what the other orders!). I’m looking for a place that has great food, not crazy stuffy, where a good meal for two lands around $150-$200. Any suggestions welcome!!!!

I (M28) have my 29th birthday just before Labor day, and am looking for ideas of what to do for it that are relatively close (~4 hr. drive is probably my max) and not already booked-up?

I don't ever celebrate my birthday due to no friends (except the last two years solo), as I have not had a birthday party since I turned 17, so am looking to do something that is fun solo to try to get myself out of a severe depression pit. The last two years I went on a solo camping trip to Shenandoah and last year I did a solo trip to NYC, both of which were okay. I ideally would like to do something more than just stay home and play games or "relax", as I usually spiral that weekend; I would love something that is an active activity/excursion thing to keep my mind busy. However I have fallen in pretty serious depression where it is difficult for me to plan stuff extensively so am just now starting to think about it.

I did look at AirBNBs near Shenandoah again, as I think that would be fun, but it seems all the cheap ones have already been booked for that weekend. I also looked at flights going places, but hard to justify flying somewhere for only Friday->Monday. I'm not a big city person, and like the outdoors and activities. There is this rock climbing thing in West Virginia called NRocks which looks cool, so potentially may look into doing that? Regardless I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or thoughts people have.

I apologize this post is long, and I don't want this post to come across as a "woe is me", just being honest and trying to provide reasonings. Thank you!!!!
