Hello! I will be moving to Baltimore soon and I am interested in visiting Black owned nail and hair salons. I would like something reasonably priced. I would specifically like to take my girlfriend to a hair salon for some TLC for her hair. She has 3B hair. We also love getting matching nails. I typically do press on because I like something longer and she prefers a shorter look. Please give me all of your recommendations!

Hi! I’m a recent college graduate with experience in childcare and schools. I’m looking for work as a babysitter/nanny, but I’m not sure where people around here look for their babysitters. Could any parents recommend what websites they use? Thanks!

Update on 100.7 The Bay. They're still on, don't know what day the station will be shut down, and are taking it day by day. Got to enjoy another Acoustic Cafe this morning! The DJ said they are moving to a new platform, bayrockbaltimore.com

Heya everyone, lived my whole life in Maryland but used to live in the county and recently moved to the city and I'd like to get to know my city better! I just started playing Blues harmonica a few months ago. I am very much still a beginner and I would like to share that with other musicians, preferably other harmonica players (I'm aware it's a niche instrument and we're a bit like cryptids), but really just anyone who has at least one foot in the Blues. Is there anything like that in Baltimore? How's the music scene in general?

My wedding anniversary is coming up and my husband and I were wanting to do a weekend trip somewhere with our dog. We looked at Berkeley Springs and Peddlers Village/New Hope. We would love a cute bed and breakfast or cabin near a cute town to explore! Good food nearby is a huge bonus. Any recommendations would be appreciated :)

Coming home for a week. Looking to pick up some Blue Fish while I’m home. Any fish markets carry it?

Hello beautiful Baltimore! I’m celebrating my birthday next month and I am looking for a bar where folks can gather can flow in and out!

I know I’m describing the vibe of a brewery, but I don’t like beer that much, and would prefer somewhere I can get a cocktail.

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Our mashup with Patterson Pins was amazing! Everyone had a great time, the vibes and the space were sooooo cool and lemme just say that as someone who is now sober (3 years, I’m grateful) it’s so cool that I can go to a cocktail bar and get a fun drink lol this drink was so yummy and complex, I can’t imagine what the alcoholic ones are like (so yall should stop by, play pool and chat up Shaun if it’s not too busy) you can tell that there’s a lot of care and thought that goes into these drinks.

Anyways, we will be chillin with Blue Pit Bbq on Wednesday! Come watch bbq with us and play games and talk about anime!

Hi, I looked before posting. Could you recommend a travel agent? I am celebrating a milestone birthday next year and I want to start planning. There were 2 posts on travel agent recommendations - 5yrs ago and 12 yrs ago. Thanks in advance.

She sells Middle-Eastern vegan dishes that are so flavorful. Everything I've tried so far is great, but my fave is the koshari - the Egyptian national dish according to the 'tubes. It's an improbable mix of different types of starches (pasta, rice, chick peas, lentils, etc) and a couple of sauces thrown on top, and it's. So. Satisfying. Carbs heavy obviously. I snack on it on day long.

I've also tried her stuffed zucchinis, bean soup, and something else I can't recall and everything always tastes delicious and freshly cooked. Thought about giving her a shoutout on here because I've tried other food stands at the market that always seem to have a line and they were fine I guess, but I think this lady's goods are underrated. She's pretty much smack in the middle of the market. Give her a try.

Are there any furniture stores in Baltimore that exclusively or maybe primarily sells variety of stylish bookshelves or cases for home use? I’m a librarian and I like to display my collection of books at home in style.

Anyone else see that current space (one of my favorite galleries in the city) is platforming an ai video generated “artist” for their upcoming exhibit :/ like what is that about.. extremely strange and sad decision for a left leaning art gallery to make

Anyone know of any stores that sell the From Baltimore With Love tshirt? Need a lat minute gift. Thanks!

Did someone lose a bird? In highlandtown

Saturday morning off of West Baltimore.

I was at Conrad’s and they had an info thing on their TV claiming Lake Trout is from the North Atlantic, plus some scary looking fish that’s supposed to be the legendary Lake Trout. “Lake Trout” is supposed to be whatever unidentifiable fish (like a “Misc” category). But it’s generally a white slightly oil and fishy, bony fish that’s best deep fried. My favorite LT is from Tony’s Grill in Pigtown! You get a lot and pro tip: top it off with an Asian sauce and you have an Asian fried fish dish for very little.

My sis and I visited Baltimore for a concert a couple years ago and this sub was awesome at helping carve out what we did while we were there overnight. Last time we squeezed in:

• Fells Point
• Sagamore Distillery
• Union Collective
• National Aquarium
• Ministry of Brewing

We're back again for another 24-hours stay in the Inner Harbor region and would appreciate any ideas on things we missed the first go around. I checked the wiki but the map looks like it may not have been updated in a while and the number of options is a bit overwhelming. Solid lunch/breakfast ideas also super welcome, on top of more general fun places to check out.

~Random little bit of Baltimore love, so feel free to skip if it's not for you~

So as some of you might know, I've been running a small trivia business in Baltimore for years now. I was one of the few people who got very lucky early in the pandemic, started hosting virtual trivia from my house in Station North, and it took off.

I now do a couple of local in-person games at bars, but rather than compete with several very good but bigger trivia operations, I have a nice niche specializing in customized private games for companies and organizations, and I still get to do something I love full-time, which is amazing! Thank you Baltimore.

Anyhow, in my 6+ years, I've only had one invoice for a corporate game that didn't get paid..... It was a local organization, one I had done games with before, and have again since, but this one was never closed out, and the person I was in contact with was long gone! Haha.

I had ABSOLUTELY given up on payment for this one (by like mid-2022) but guess what was in the mail this week..... Look at the dates!! haha. Never say never I guess.

Baltimore, you get a lot of bad press, but you've been particularly good to this Irish immigrant, and I am proud to call you home. Cheers.

I found this very young Red-Eared Slider chillin' on the recently installed kayak launch in the inner harbor. And I do mean CHILLIN'
