I dunno, the hampden skatepark gets a lot of use. Seems like the only people really using roosevelt park sometimes. I get wanting to street skate as well, but If I still skated I would love to go to a skatepark nearby.

Probably goes back to poor drivers Ed. My parents were really focused on making sure I was a good driver and they sent me to a drivers Ed course that was actually helpful, rather than just a "vehicle" to get my license. I imagine this isn't the case for everyone. I don't even think about using my turn signal. it's a habit. it's going to prevent me from getting into an accident as I'm telling those people behind me I'm switching lanes instead of just swrving out of nowhere.

Depends on whether you get into the right crew or not. Shiiiiiiiit. This isn't naptown, might be best to get a job elsewhere. /S

Would love it if they had a "European" street. But we aren't that creative in Baltimore.

You kinda like it?

I don't know a place that serves drinks in coconuts, but I don't think many bars would be against you bringing in your own hollowed out coconut to drink from.

Just went tonight and it wasn't too packed, plenty of space at the bar. Get there right at 5 and Its usually ok. Someone told me that if there is a long wait they went to get a drink at Harland and they will text you when there is a table ready.

Paulie gees doesn't do wood fired anymore. They have the ovens but haven't used them since the pandemic for some reason.

Interstellar started great, but they seemed to want to play the most repetitive daft punk songs. It was a weird set list, they played "one more time" early and then you had to wait through a bunch of "filler" daft punk songs. I had seen them before at the old metro gallery, and this was much better. But I have also seen daft punk live a few times and I think it just works better with synths and djs, although i have much respect for the musicianship with the horns.

I heard the same thing, from a friend who knows someone on the staff. She dropped the n word multiple times in the bar talking about the mayor and most the staff quit.

The prevalence of those restaurants does not equal a high demand. People who choose to go out to eat don't choose who own those restaurants, they just want to go downtown.

Do you ever wonder why there are so many great authentic Mexican and South American restaurants on North Broadway, but you still will get a papis tacos near the waterfront? There just isn't much diversity in food,generally,in the tourist areas, and atlas doesn't help that.

Go to New Orleans and tell me there isn't a big difference in what is offered, not just in food, but in entertainment. That's just an example,phili and DC are also more diverse,if you want better local examples.

Yeah, this is obvious that there are other ownership groups. they actually own around 20 in the region (and growing). but would it not be better for those areas like harbor east to have more diverse options? You look at the area in fells that is quickly changing. They now own waterfront hotel, choptank and admirals cup in fells (berthas is being sold as we speak). This city doesn't have that many tourist areas and it would be great if there was more diverse ownership in those specific sections of the city.

Would you rather have a restaurant scene that is owned by all the same corporation, or a variety of local investors?

But you'd think the owners and chefs there would be somewhat involved in the food community and change things up. The whole concept is okd

"we're not wealthy enough to be eccentric"

I'm not rich.

Is that the important thing?

How would I know?

Eccentric: a person being unconventional or strange. Words aren't just about what you believe.

Ah, sorry... Didn't get the reference.sarcasm ain't great in text form.

I feel like it represents a different time in baltimore. There are so many better food options now. The harbor doesn't represent the rest of the city very well, at least in regards to food. But you could say this about most city tourist areas.

I don't think the definition of eccentric includes having to be wealthy.
