Re: [Chat] Trees and tree pits
It is usually the property owner's responsibility to maintain the tree wells and the sidewalk. From what I recall, homeowners seeking trees from the City of Baltimore or Tree Baltimore usually sign an agreement to care for the tree before one will be planted.

Just to be clear the part of Wyman Park they are talking about is not theWyman Park Dell, but the section of the park bounded by Tudor Arms Rd,37th Street, Beech Ave and Stoney Run.

You can signup between now and June 30 as a member of a team, or as a free agent, or you can start a team. People currently registering. Groups are just forming and no teams are listed yet. Just individuals signing up. So even though the Groupon Link does not list this location, the 50% off Groupon offer still works for the Hampden Group which is demonstrated by the number of people who have registered since the Groupon came out in the last 2 days.

They also take requests to stock your any need. It opened under the name Jalines. They installed a huge canopy that kept you dry while coming and going, and while it might not have been for everyone, it had the name and tag lines of the store to advertise its presence. I'm guessing it cost more than $5,000. Imagine our surprise last week when we saw them painting over the sign, and removing any and all exterior signage.

I opened the inner door but not the outer security door which can only be opened with a key. On my porch were a couple, a black male and a white female, college age or more likely a little bit older. They said that they had the wrong person. A few minutes later, I opened the inner door again. The couple were still there, and the man asked me to open the outer security door. I refused. He then tried to sell me on saving money by switching to a guaranteed fixed electric rate instead of paying BGE. I told him that I was not interested, even though he persisted until I ended the conversation. He was carrying a notebook. The woman basically was silent. Something did not add up. How can they have the wrong person and then try to sell me something? And why were they still there? Anyway, I reported it to 911, to a JHU cop who was parked across the street a few minutes later, and to Northern District police who came moments later in response to my 911 call. They said that they would be looking for the couple. I do not know whether, if I had opened my security door, the couple would have rushed in to grab something in my house or worse. I have seen a report that in a nearby neighborhood, people have rung doorbells and asked for someone who does not exist on that block. When they have found a house where nobody is home, they have broken in. I write all this to urge that everyone be very careful about opening a door to a stranger. And if things really do not add up but look suspicious, call 911. What I encountered this evening may be legitimate, but my guess is that it is not. And if it is part of a knock, run in and grab something, and run scheme or some other scheme, the police will definitely appreciate your giving them a heads up on what is happening. After all, the cops cannot be everywhere, so we have to be additional eyes and ears for them. Northern District does an excellent job, but we need to give them all the help we can.

Re: [Chat] roof maintenance
Most of our homes are roofed with layers of felt paper and hot tar.. When these roofs are installed they usually come with a ten year warranty as long as you pay the company to recoat every three years. When they recoat they also check and repair flashing, vent collars, etc. I paid $400 to have my roof silvercoated the last time it was due to be coated. The hext time I am in the market for a new roof I will go with a 20 year rubber roof because they require significantly less maintenance.

Very early this morning, two provocative women were on the corner of 27th and Calvert, and one ran screaming up and down 27th around 4 am (it remains unclear as to why).

Re: [Chat] [Discussion] 3100 block of St. Paul
Christine, I bet that Greg Alexander and Paul Williams would have some suggestions because they research the history of houses for clients. Also, old phone directories would be good source of information. You might find some at the Enoch Pratt central library. According to the history of the neighborhood written by Jacques Kelly 3101 was built in 1921 as the Homestead Apartments and Drug Store and 3103-3119 were built as private residences circa 1923 and later converted to commercial uses. A Brief History of Charles Village written by Greg and Paul also mentions an A P in the location later occupied by the Homewood Deli.

He wrote a review of the Homewood Deli in which he said that the Deli was a lot like Elsie's in Cambridge, Mass. I have very fond memories of eating chopped chicken liver sandwiches and tongue sandwiches and of having milkshakes (frappes in the Boston area dialect) at Elsie's, and while the Homewood Deli was okay, it was no Elsie's.

How can the tax office accept a tax payment in February of this year, when she is in contempt of court to transfer sell or demolish the house, as condemned, and accept her claim that it is owner occupied?

Re: [Chat] stolen packages from porch
Emil, I certianly understand why you cannot receive personal deliveries at work. I wonder if any of the small businesses in Charles Village might occasionally be willing to receive parcels for residents. Images used to receive packages for some of their loyal customers. John Shipping to work is not an option for me, since I work for the federal government, and you can't use official channels for personal business as a general rule. --Emil 2008/12/11 John Spurrier [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am curious as to whether the stolen packages were actually delivered by the US Postal Service, UPS or FedEx. Charles Village should not be a driver release area for UPS meaning that a signature should be required for all deliveries. I personally choose to have internet purchases delivered to my office because there will always be someone there during business hours to accept them. If the manpower were available a sting operation would probably help the police apprehend those responsible for the thefts, which likely are a federal offense.

Re: [Chat] Fwd: Would-be rescuer stabbed 3 times
The police response is indeed distressing. I am curious about the facts behind the assault that was in progress when the good samaritans intervened. Does anyone know if that was random? a robbery in progress? or possibly a drug deal gone bad or an incident that started in a nearby bar or restaurant? Many residents of Baltimore are comfortable knowing that because they're not involved in drug activity or a bad domestic relationship their chances of becoming thevictim of a violent crime are greatly reduced. When you are a victim of crime statistics mean nothing. I was robbed at gunpoint in 1998 right in front of my house. Coincidentally there was an off-duty police officer parked in the garage less than 50 feet from my home at the time. When I ran to his vehicle after the incident he was reluctant to get involved. When I told a few friends about being robbed, one responded, I remember the first time I got mugged. as if he was meant, 'Welcome to the club.

Re: [Chat] Two Sisters Grille is a success!
Christine, After 27th Street Station closed the owners divided the building intoa couple apartments on the second floor and rented kitchen space to a catering company on the first floor in addition to leasing space to abar. At the time the building had 2 commercial kitchens. I heard that a couple pastry chefs/bakers operated out of the building at different times over the past decade or so. Charm City Cakes may have been one of those tenants. I assumed Richard was referring to the restaurants located in the building.John John, I thought/think that at one point Charm City Cakes were there—before Duff moved the bakery to Remington.

Re: [Chat] cornice painting
I will let you know as I get more information. I anticipate each neighbor getting an individual quote as well as a quote for work to be done if more than x residents decide to have the work done at the same time.
