I don’t think that’s a random thought. Several people have suggested it. I agree.

No, I don’t think anyone knows. Months ago, it was speculated that some members of the board already had a replacement in mind (current head of Inner Arbor Trust) but she has denied interest in the position.

Agreed but this isn’t the first time people have paid attention. A couple years ago an organization tried (through deceptive means IMO) to generate increased interest in CA elections - it didn’t work. I’m not sure this issue or there blog articles will make much difference either… but here’s hoping!

The one upside to all of this is that people are actually starting to pay attention to what's going on with the CA and in at least one village (OM), someone is running against the longtime CA rep.

Seemingly random but related thought: Perhaps it’s time to consider paying board members? As the saying goes, “you get what you pay for.” Time to find ways to incentivize serious and well qualified residents to become involved, otherwise you’re left with a group of clowns which appears to be the situation now.

Yea so it seems because Baltimore is open to the ocean with ocean winds etc it prevents many allergy symptoms because why else would just moving slightly inward to Columbia cause you this many problems?

Awful… I take soooo many medications (Rx and OTC) and it’s just not enough, so I finally started allergy shots last year to try and get a handle on allergies

Omg you are so right about Iron Bridge. The food absolutely slapped.

I lived in Baltimore for ten years and my allergies never bothered me. The first spring I moved to Columbia I got a massive sinus infection and they've been a recurring issue ever since. Most of the time, it's better here than when I was growing up on the Eastern Shore, but there's a couple of weeks in the fall and spring that are nightmarish.

I have someone who comes every 6 weeks or so! She is fantastic, very kind and thorough. She cleans 1700 sq ft for $175. I can DM you her info if you're interested.

Humid, so if molds are a problem for you, it’s rough.

Corrected. Much appreciated!

Dude[tte] this is not just a sub for the People's Republic of Maryland, but it is the one for Columbia, a city that is literally a 1000% NIMBY HOA and you're surprised that a pro-gun comment is downvoted?

Because when someone pulls a gun on you first, usually the main options you have are to either get shot or flee. Pulling out a gun while someone is already aiming at you will resort in only one option: you getting shot.

+1 downvote

Here I am being downvoted for stating something logically and factually accurate. Explain how this is an extreme point? Do you feel your safety is someone else’s responsibility. Genuinely curious

Trees that hate you.

Would help with recommendations if you put parameters on what is "affordable" for you since there is a wide range of what people view as affordable + what services you're looking for (to include or not include things like laundry, dishes, etc).

Been using her service for a while.

Honey. You missed a word.

The Food Market and Victorias are both solid places. Those are our go to “date night” spots.

Local raw honey in everything to help with the allergies here! Different pollen types spike at different times so it depends which ones you’re sensitive to.
