My daughter is in girl scouts. For her troop and I think all central Maryland troops, cookie season starts in October. They were finished up with cookie sales in January. Your best bet is the website at this point.

I'm actually dead.

Yes, accurate. It's a true Baltimore soap opera with those two.

So, MM used to be a line prosecutor. She quit and went to work for an insurance company. Her husband Nick was a city council person, and I guess it was pretty well liked in his district. That gave her name recognition. She ran against the States Attorney who used to be her boss' boss' boss. He was an old white dude named Greg. Greg was pretty good at his job but didn't really connect with Baltimore citizens. MM ran against him and somehow won. She had some companies that people were concerned about. She said essentially that they were inactive. The whole Freddie Gray thing happened on her watch. Whatever your feelings about, she definitely used the national press to get her face on the news and on the cover of some magazines. She botched it pretty seriously. It ruined her relationship with the Baltimore police. She made some other very unpopular decisions like trying Keith Davis over and over. She also made some pretty popular decisions like refusing to prosecute weed possessions, prostitution and some other low level bullshit. Meanwhile, Nick is getting more and more famous and eventually becomes Baltimore City Council president. It comes out that he may not have followed the law when getting campaign donations. He starts a Gofundme to pay for his lawyers. Gets in trouble for that too. MM (on her own or with her husband, who knows) decides right around the time COVID started that she needed a new vacation house. To get the cash for the down-payment, she wants to pull money out of her retirement. Ordinarily you'd have to pay crazy penalties to withdraw before you retire, but a COVID law let you do just that if you signed an affidavit (a document that is under oath) saying you were experiencing financial hardship because of COVID. She made more money during COVID than the year before. The feds said she lied under oath, which is perjury. She got indicted. She claims those inactive companies we mentioned earlier were even less active and that's how she experienced a hardship. Also, her and Nick didn't pay their water bill for like a year and it came out that it was almost 1,000 dollars at one point.
Anyway, she lost the last election to a guy named Ivan. If you watched We Own This City, there's an actor that plays him. He had a role in bringing down GTTF, the subject of the show/novel. He tossed the Keith Davis case and reversed some other MM policies. Before MM leaves office, Nick passes something through city council somehow to thank MM for all her service and say how great she is. It was weird. So, now MM's federal perjury trial approaches. Her lawyers are trying all sorts of crazy things to get the case tossed or moved somewhere else. It's not working. She files a motion saying she's too poor to pay for experts and the judge agrees that the government will pay for them upfront. She has to pay back some of the costs, we dont know how much. One of her lawyers says some dumb shit on the courthouse steps after the judge told him not to and is being charged with criminal contempt. Now the lawyers, all of them, say they can't represent her. The one who is about to be charged with contempt says he'll be too distracted to be effective. The others basically say they were all just supportive people, not there to try the case. MM gets a reprieve and is told she is poor enough to qualify for the representation of the public defenders office. Nick is still city council president.

Those dudes are cool. I'm sure they'll whip it up.

The best Indian food is at Kumari on Charles St.

Papi's (locations in fells point and Hampden) has a good plant based menu, including vegan elote.

There's a spot in midtown called Soups On. They are obviously a soup place but they have a banging tofu bahn mi.

For vegan food generally, Liora by the harbor and Land of Kush in midtown.

I'm surprised no one has told you to go to Ekiben yet. I personally don't get the hype but people on this sub are insane about it.

You want to live in Charles Village.

That's cool, but this sub is pretty much focused on Baltimore City. All of those places are outside of Baltimore City.

Plus, you're probably not going to find a 2 bedroom place for under like $2000 in any safe area in Baltimore City. You can try r/Maryland and see if you get any bites.

Good luck!

Lol. I stopped doing that after my first bike got stolen. They did nothing and I've had 2 more bikes stolen since then. No one in this city cares about bike safety, bike infrastructure or cyclists in general. But you keep fighting the good fight.

For what?? They don't do anything about it. This is a years old problem. They don't care.

Yeah but no. 311 doesn't care. I used to do this all the time. There's a bike lane near the harbor that taxis always park in. I used to ride everyday on my way home from work and reported every day. Nothing changed and the drivers were openly hostile when I asked them to move. Because they knew nothing will ever happen to them.
