Save yourself the trouble and catch the light rail downtown. You can park at Falls Road Station and ride it directly to the stadium.

I work near UMD Hospital. Traffic is terrible on opening day...

Every.

Single.

Year.

Catch public transit/uber if you have to go anywhere. Parking will be hell. Traffic will be backed up all the way to midtown or Little italy.

I ride down Orleans street by hopkins all the time windows down and theres a ton of them along the road. Just smells like eastiside to me. I see the trees and think theyre really beautiful. It sucks to know that people are dying slowly inside just going by them lol. I'm gonna go sniff a tree to see if its really just me.

Same. Can't smell them and cilantro smells and tastes delicious to me.

My sense of smell must be compromised because I smell nothing on those trees.

Not sure if JH moves different, but I'm state employed and a non-exempt employee. The status relates to your FLSA employment status. From my experience:

Exempt means you are exempt from the Fair Labor and Standards act and don't get paid overtime. Instead, you are eligible to get comp time. Generally paid a fixed salary.

Non-exempt means you are eligible to get paid overtime if you work more than 80 hours in your pay period. Generally paid by the hour.

So if your offer says you are exempt from overtime, it means you won't get time and a half if you work more hours than youre supposed to. You'll just earn bankable time off in the future. Usually certain positions are exempt and non-exempt. For example. Most higher up positions will be exempt because they don't get paid hourly. More administrative/clerical jobs are non-exempt because they get paid by the hour and aren't required to work more than their standard 40 hours a week. It would make sense that a nurse position would be exempt because its pretty common that you all will work more than 40 hours a week, thus costing the hospital a ton of money in overtime costs.

I love the Maryland Curiosity Bureau podcast.

Did you think downtown baltimore was gonna be a field of flowers?

They've. Gotten. Worse. I have every bump and pothole mapped in my mind downtown and surrounding. Its stressful enough dealing with incompetent drivers.

Oh just give it another year til infrastructure crews are done upgrading the pipes and what not. They'll lay down some more weak asphalt so we can have wavy bus lanes there soon.

It really depends on the block. In this city you could be on 3 separate blocks only a traffic light away and each one will have a different safety feel to the other. You really need to get boots on a ground to get a real safety feeling. Residents make a neighborhood safe, not a website rating based on surveys from people who probably never even lived there.

Do not do dave and busters for a first date. Too loud, too many kids.

My suggestion? Take her out somewhere where she can stay warm, have an engaging convo with you, and have some private time. I'd recommend you take her to Avenue Kitchen and Bar in Hampden.

Rams Head which is in PowerPlant Live is very safe in my experience. People bring their kids all the time. I would just say avoid the block behind it (Baltimore Street has a block of strip clubs). Just stay in the inner harbor area.

... but is the issue the payment method or availability of funds? Usually people who have the money to pay something just pay it however theyre told. I dont think adults should have to be reminded to manually pay bills
