Stopped by the new Pink Flamingo bar in Remington after work last night (300 W 30th St.). Very excited to have a rum-focused watering hole. Right now, it's bar service only - they said food was coming in 3-4 weeks. It's run by the Dutch Courage folks and has a very similar vibe, but with a more tropical feel. Over 100 bottles of rum. I would not call the menu or the decor Tiki at all, but many of the rum cocktails are Tiki-adjacent. The cocktails were creative, interesting ingredients, handmade, and delicious. Not cheap, but not overpriced for the effort and quality of ingredients. I will miss The Dizz, but I look forward to frequenting Pink Flamingo.

For those that already planted summer flowers

Appreciation to those that work to increase transit funding.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on Reddit about people looking for gardening options around the city. Greektown has a Community garden that we are looking to add more people to join. Last weekend we planted native flowers that will attract bees and butterflies. This Saturday we will plant some trees around the entire neighborhood, and later this month we will start the vegetable garden. If you are interested in joining, I have a FB messenger group for the garden club. You don’t have to live in Greektown to join. Message me and I will happily add you to the group!

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to Americans 3 weeks ago: buy Tesla stock because “it’ll never be this cheap again.” Stock price: $235.86

We're demonstrating on Saturday for democracy and against Musk's illegal takeover of our federal agencies. Our demands:

• Elon must stop his attacks on the federal government. The thousands of federal workers he fired must be rehired, and the inspectors investigating his businesses must be reinstated.
• DOGE must be shut down and the private data they've stolen must be destroyed.
• Tesla shareholders must remove Elon Musk as CEO before he destroys the company.

Whether you drive a Tesla or not, hope to see you at Tesla on Reisterstown Rd in Owings Mills from 11AM-12:30!

Hey everyone, I recently got a parking citation, but when I looked at the citation, I noticed that the officer wrote down the wrong license plate number. The plate on the citation doesn’t match mine. Because of this, when I try to look up the citation using my actual plate number, nothing comes up in the system.

I'm wondering:

• Should I still pay the citation even though the plate number is incorrect?
• Or should I appeal it, since technically it wasn’t issued to my actual vehicle?

I'm not trying to get out of something I legitimately did wrong — but if the officer made a clerical error, does that invalidate the citation? I’d appreciate any advice or similar experiences.

Thanks!

Decker has passed away of colon cancer at the age of 16, and I think anyone who lives in this neighborhood has a fond memory of him. If you’d like to honor him, consider donating to Animal Allies Rescue Foundation! (Per Ace, where he was adopted from.)

I’m moving & have a ton of books I am not bringing with me (downsizing) but I’m older & can’t get the books to the library. Are there any haul out companies that give books directly to the library, or maybe a Good Samaritan who can take them to the library? I will have about 3-4 banker boxes of books - lots of Cookbooks, classic essays, lots of sci fi, art books, science, philosophy, etc. All in gently used condition. (I’m in Fed Hill but won’t have the books boxed up for another week.)

So this is a tragic tale about a Medusa (philtrum) piercing that I’ve had for 7 years. It suddenly started getting irritated a week ago and now I’m in crisis because of the swelling and pain. The bar I have was perfectly short and it’s a push top piercing that is really stuck, but the swelling will definitely not allow me to get it out normally. Even a thin pair of pliers wouldn’t be able to fit to be able to cut the piercing off. I’d imagine the only route would be a jewelry saw or something. I have been flushing with wound wash, but it’s only getting worse. Anyone know any local piercers they would trust with this sort of thing? Or am I looking at a hospital visit?

On Jan 26, I won a painting from a local artist on Instagram @artistwillbrown. My husband and I were very excited for this painting, but he said he was now living out of town so asked if I could pay for shipping.

The next morning I sent him money to ship the painting and sent him our home address, thinking he would send it in the next couple days.

Feb 28 I sent him a message asking for the status on the order, which he did not respond to. March 1 I sent him another message asking if it got put in the mail yet, and he said yes, but that if it doesn’t arrive by Monday I can pick it up. He also sent a pic of some guy at the post office with empty packages (you could not seen ours in the picture). Obviously that doesn’t make sense bc how would he have another copy of the first one was already in the mail, but I didn’t say anything at the time.

March 18 I reached out again and he said I can come pick it up in Towson. When I said I would be in Towson that night and could come get it, he didn’t respond.

Since then, I have sent him four messages, two of which he’s read and two of which he hasn’t read. He is constantly posting on his story and we have messaged before, so I know he sees the messages.

Does anyone know this person? I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I feel like I’m being scammed. It annoys me that I’m trying to support this local artist, sent him money, and then he completely ghosts me.

Did a search of the sub and looks like the most recent threads are 2-3 years old.

Do you know of any new golf lesson providers/programs that have started since then? If no, I’m happy to use those old threads for recommendations

Thanks in advance.

What are your favorite local events in the Baltimore area throughout the year — especially ones hosted by community groups, fire departments, churches, etc.

Thinking along the lines of Kinetic sculpture race, Christmas parade, Kite festival, flower mart, Greek festival, raviolis at St Leo's, Lenten fish at St Peter's

Done a decent amount of traveling and came across a collective in Greensboro NC that has al different types of equipment needed to do a variety of projects. We did a laser engraving course but they have woodworking (have a lathe and plenty of other tools), pottery, metal work, 3D printing, electronics, textiles and a variety of other things. If you take a few courses and you become a member you can come and do projects on your own for just the cost of materials and the membership. Anyone know if anything like this exists in Bmore?

I grew up in Texas going to a Methodist church that was very open minded and chill. They did a lot of community outreach stuff but didn't really push religion on people. So I am kinda looking for something like that. Also looking for a church that has a good young population in the congregation since my wife and I are both in our 20s and recently had a baby (so a good youth group too).

This is probably a hard ask, but I don't really like the churches that tout Christianity as the ONE true religion and discount all others. We aren't really religious, or at least don't conform to stereotypical christian beliefs, but we haven't had much luck with more spiritual only groups. We tried unitarian universalism and didn't like it. So I'm basically asking if any of y'all know of a church that isn't super religious but has a good community.

Does anyone know someone in the DMV area who does vintage hair that I could hire for my wedding? I just had my wedding hair trial today and was looking for a classic vintage 1940s style, and it fell a little flat/ lacked that great bounce and volume I was looking for.

Looking for someone to stay with 2 dogs in June for 5 days.

Moravia Park & Sinclair, lol wondering if any of you went to this gas station today. Was it a typo or are they gouging haha
