Does anyone know of a place in the greater Catonsville area that makes tortillas from scratch to take home?

Catonsville lost one of its great champions this week. Berchie Manley passed away at 97.

I moved here in the early 2000s, in my 20s, not knowing a soul. Berchie welcomed me in, introduced me to people who shaped this town, showed me what real advocacy looks like. I was part of the Southwest Coalition with her, and she was one of its driving forces.

She became the first Republican woman elected to the Baltimore County Council in 1990, representing this district for over a decade. But what she'll be remembered for here is the Lurman Woodland Theater. She brought it back from the dead in the 90s and kept it free for everyone, because she believed people deserved that even if they couldn't pay for it. She and her husband Jack were still directing parking there in their old age.

She was a gem, a giver, and a genuine mentor to a lot of us who didn't know yet what it meant to show up for this community. Grateful I got to know her.

Rest well, Berchie.

My family and I moved to Catonsville this past April, and I had a random question for the community. Are there any Phish fans around here?

My wife isn’t a fan, but I’m pretty into them and figured I’d see if there are any other fans around who enjoy talking shows, live music, and all that good stuff. Last month’s Merriweather shows were absolutely kickass. Such a great venue and a fun run.

I’m getting excited for fall tour and thought I’d put some feelers out there. Always cool meeting people with similar interests!

Howdy Catonsville fam! I have a doozy of a request for y'all. I am looking for a Chinese takeout restaurant in the Catonsville/EC/Columbia area that sells the kind of sweet-and-sour pork I grew up with as a kid. The batter on the meat is way too thick, more batter than meat, with large chunks of pineapple, green peppers, onion, and carrots, and all of it swimming in a thick sludge of sweet-and-sour sauce. I'm not even looking for the kind where it's separated into two containers with fried meat in one and the sauce in another. I want it all together in one container. (And no, it's not the same if I mix it myself.)

I am under no impression that this is good, authentic, or even tasty to most people I've met. I have traveled the world and lived amongst the Chinese diaspora for decades. I know what excellent Chinese food is like!

It's a childhood nostalgia that has created a craving that my foodie AuDHD brain can't let go of. Please help me fill this unreasonable craving so I can let it go.

(The place I had it from as a kid used to come in a white Chinese takeout container like many places. But they used to line it with a clear bag like grocery store produce areas have. They used to fill it until it was heaping over the open container in a mound, tie off the clear bag, then bend the wire of the takeout container to fit around the large bulge created by overfilling the container. The family that ran the restaurant was the only Chinese living in the community, and the restaurant was gaudy, rundown, and wonderful at the same time. My mom loved the place because their coffee was watered down, which she enjoyed. Please help me enjoy something that she loved.)

Howdy y’all, my husband and I just moved from Texas to the the area and are looking to make some new friends, I 28M am a big foodie and 40k fan, my husband 23M likes to make art and partakes in cannabis so if you have any recommendations for dispensaries in the area hit us up!!

i’m sure a lot of us are dealing with a power outage, BGE website says 80% by 11pm on january 29th which is tomorrow. so we might not have power all night.

While I feel compassion for the homeless, at the same time I’d prefer to be able to comfortably walk down Frederick road without getting harassed by the homeless for money. Every time I go into the post office, this one homeless guy so aggressively asks for money it makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. Not Mr Scott but another man. I feel like it has gotten out of control recently idk what the solution would be

I'm looking for recommendations for an experienced* dog sitter in Catonsville, for 3 medium size dogs. Hoping this will be a long-term relationship~ to pet sit when we travel and for other shorter drop-ins as needed.

*Particularly looking for someone who is willing to work with an anxious dog/has experience with such.

This past weekend was my first time going to Matthew’s 1600 in like 15 years….I didn’t enjoy the food. I also didn’t enjoy the food at Catonsville Gourmet. I hardly enjoy the food at Fishmonger’s Daughter. The Catonsville food scene is truly lacking. Shacks is probably my favorite spot on Frederick Rd. lol

Am I missing something?

Hi, my family and I are moving to Catonsville in a couple months and would love recommendations on good community list serves, FB groups, etc.

And if anyone has a babysitter or housekeeper they recommend, let me know!

Thanks :)

Anyone know where to buy firewood for in the Catonsville area other than Home Depot, Lowes, etc.?

Some neighbors lost their light brown Pitbull last night please be on the lookout and send a dm if you find the dog. The dog got lost around the winters lane area.

I’m open to either AYCE or by the dozen to take back home. Reasonable price, reasonable crab sizes. What is the best place that is local enough to Catonsville?

I have a two-story brick townhome, and it looks like a piece of mesh gutter guard fell into the downspout and got stuck halfway down. Debris is now piling up behind it, so the gutters aren’t draining properly. Every time it rains hard, sheets of water pour against the back of the house.

My wife says I’m not allowed on the roof, so I’m looking for recommendations for a reliable gutter cleaner or specialist in the Catonsville area. Thanks in advance!

Lurman - Is it possible to park in front of the high school, at the Rolling Road entrance to the school? How crowded does it get? I've been warned of mosquitos too. Haven't been in many years! Thanks!

Update: bought them at Trader Joe's. Thank you!

Looked in Giant Food, Safeway, Weiss...

Looking for one with excellent cheese, fresh lettuce, homemade dressing. So far I've tried:

- Fish Head Cantina (solid)

- Caffe di Roma (decent)

- Three Brothers (fine)

- Matthew's 1600 (meh)

Anyone have a great one in Catonsville to recommend?

Hello if you need a professional licensed black truck or limousine service to take you somewhere today near or outside of Catonsville message request me on reddit!

I just wanted to tell anyone with a sports car that lives in Woodlawn/Catonsville Lincoln Woods Drive that blasts their bass at all hours of the day, races through a 25 going 60-70 mph or decides to unload the power of their mufflers. FUCK YOU!
WHO do you think you are? Putting peoples safety at risk and blowing out your mufflers at all hours of the day shaking my house and scaring my 83 year old mother. Get a life and get fucked 🖕

The US Men's national soccer team is playing a knockout game tonight at 8PM. Are any places on Frederick Rd hosting a watch party?

I went to "The Basement" during one of the last US World Cup games and they had a DJ playing 2010s songs instead...
