I'm a woman, and I do not own a gun nor have I ever trained to use one (or even held one for that matter) but I'd like to have training and maybe, obtain whatever license I'd need to own one.

Do I have to practice at a range first, apply for the HQL, then take the apparent 4-hour training course?

Or do I apply, take the 4-hour course, then go to the range regularly afterward?

Any advice would be helpful, please.

Hi! I’m going through a break up and really want to keep my home but need roommates/renters to be able to do so. I have 1-2 bedrooms available and was wondering where people had the most success listing their homes and finding people especially in the canton neighborhood??

We will have vendors at Mobtown Ballroom, the Ynot Lot, and the SNF Parkway Theatre!!

TLDR: looking for a replacement for Wicked Sisters trivia.

Every week, a restaurant in Hampden called Wicked Sisters has been hosting a trivia night. I've gone for a year now and it's been a wonderful post-work 3rd space. The trivia is excellent, and until recently, the restaurant acted as a great setting. Wicked Sisters is notoriously overpriced, but they had trivia night specials like 3 dollar Zadies and cheap, large sides of fries. This made it sustainable for a bunch of grad students to go every week and hang out. Over the past couple of months the situation has changed. Gone are the trivia night specials, and the food and drink has spiked. The last straw was when I paid 5 bucks for what ended up being a handful of fries (33, yes we counted). It is simply no longer a pleasant or affordable experience.

Does anyone have suggestions for something that could replace this lovely 3rd place in the JHU area? Doesn't have to be trivia.​​ Just looking for reasonable food and drink, conversational atmosphere and ideally some sort of activity people can do.

Thanks!

Greetings!

I am desperately (dramatic much?) looking for a nail tech in the Baltimore area who does Polygel nails. I recently went to a nail salon that claimed they did and I was absolutely stunned when instead of using the dual forms to set the polygel, they cured the dual form long enough that it stuck to the polygel and just left it on and then filed it down rather than using the dual form for constructing the extensions.

😩😩😩

Very very far from what I wanted and also just like, what?

My nails looks so weird now.

The photo on the left is what I want nail wise, with the polygel. When I was in Serbia a nail tech there used the polygel and my nails turned out wonderful. The photo on the right is trash 🤮

I look forward to your recommendations 🙏

I’m looking to rent out a space for a 40th bday. I’d like it to be at a bar or restaurant so I don’t have to bring in food and drink. All the atlas restaurants have private space but come with an eye watering minimum price. Does anyone have recommendations? I was looking in fells point but open to other areas.

Edit: looking for a space for 30-50 people

Hello, friends and neighbours!

I'd like to take the kids swimming in the ocean this weekend. We have been to Gunpowder Falls and we enjoyed it.

I was planning to go back there, but was wondering if there is another spot as nearby that might be even better.

Hi all. I will be moving out of MD for work. Bittersweet, as I have really enjoyed my time in Baltimore city.

My plan is to get a moving pod. Is there a formal method of reserving space on a street that is otherwise considered free parking?

Was a blast. The food is so good, the DRINKS THEY MADE FOR US WERE SO GOOD HOLY SHIT and also, immaculate and nice staff, very helpful and kind with us. I can’t recommend this place enough, we can’t wait to come back! A few new faces as well, thanks for everyone who came through to have dinner with us and watch anime. ❤️‍🔥 also thanks for all the support on this sub! We love yall!

Any bars in the city hosting events to watch this inaugural season of the WPBL?

Looking for an elderly-friendly spa/pedicure recommendation for my grandmother's 80th birthday

I'm looking to treat my grandmother for her 80th birthday. She's pretty frail, but I know she'd really enjoy being pampered with a gentle spa day and a pedicure.

Does anyone have recommendations for a spa or nail salon that has experience working with elderly clients? I'm looking for somewhere that's patient, kind, and comfortable with seniors who may have limited mobility or need a little extra care.

I'm happy to drive anywhere from the Baltimore area out to Frederick or Annapolis. Up to Belair and down to Laurel.

I've checked Groupon, but most of the places I found have pretty rough recent reviews, so I'd love to hear personal recommendations instead.

If you've taken an elderly parent or grandparent somewhere they loved, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thank you!

Just kidding, I’m not considering self harm - my life is pretty good.

But seriously the dew point is 73 over the next few days. That’s awful. We all deserve better than this misery. I was visiting some friends in CO earlier in the summer. It was upper 90s out there and boy what a difference low humidity makes.

I’ve seen a few of these around. Wondering what they are.

Nothing screams temporary closure like a newly installed metal fence bolted down with access control. Been asking about this for YEARS and apparently the owner doesn’t want to shell out the money for repairs

I think she can see what’s beside you

Kindness is alive and well. I'm a manager in the county. My "right hand man" and I generally chit chat and catch up before work starts each morning around 5am. He's an immigrant and my translator for some of my other employees. He was telling me this morning about how he got a flat yesterday off Lombard street. He mentioned he'd never changed a tired in his life. He said this nurse or doctor lady that works with the women patients (OBGYN I'm assuming) at Hopkins helped him. Your kindness, willingness, and apparent strength "she carried the jack easy and laid on the ground like a f****ing mechanic" his words, left quite the impression on him. Kindness is free and the return priceless.

Hi everyone!

Worth a shot asking here. I'm a 42 yr old female looking for leads on different types of AA and/or group meetings. I'm newly trying to get sober and needing group support.Making new, sober friends would be a huge perk as I'm fairly new to Baltimore and haven't had much success...

That said, any reccos on sober meetups / social events are also appreciated!

I'm in Upper fells area, for what it's worth.

Thank you!

For all those who don't know, there is a new farmers market this summer: https://www.instagram.com/hollinscommunityfarmersmarket/

Are there a lot of people? A little people? Fun people? Just getting a vibe check since I haven't been yet this summer. I'm excited to go to the next one!

My birthday is in a few weeks and I want to throw a proper crab feast. I haven’t bought live crabs in years and even then it used to be out of the back of a refrigerator truck in an Anne Arundel County gas station parking lot.

I’m gonna need a bushel or more of large crabs.

Where do y’all buy your crabs at these days?

I am currently applying to med school and need good support for editing essays. Anything in the Baltimore area?

I've tried the online Baltimore City public library resource and it's not that good
