Mariann. What is served there is very tasty vegan (no meat products involved) food.  Skye comes from St. Croix, VI, but the cuisine is from many places in the world.  Try it.  By the way, it is on the east side of the 2400 block of St. Paul.  And Yabba Pot is two words. Steve. Mariann Millar

John, Your email came just after another one telling me that the St. Paul St. location of Yabba Pot will close on April 1.  We have lost a really fabulous place to eat in Charles Village.  When I get a chance, I will stop in at Yabba Pot if it is open to ask why Skye is closing her Charles Vil

There is a Baltimore Free Store, although I know almost nothing about it except that it exists.  You might try googling it.  I'm pretty sure that they take donations and distribute them in much the way that the Book Thing distributes books. I have received some e-mails from the Free Store.  Th

Mariann, I haven't eaten there for a while.  It started out as a "nifty fifties diner", then added Indian food.  You can get basic American food like fried chicken and chicken pot pie.  Also, you can get an egg cream there; that is a mixture of chocolate syrup, milk and seltzer; it is a taste

Mariann, I had the same problem a few years ago and used boiling water.  It worked then, but the ants were back the next year and seemingly immune to boiling water.  Also, boiling water kills not just the ants but everything else, so I was told later that it is not a good idea even though it i

Dawna, It does not make me feel good to think this way, but some of us, myself included, may have to lower our threshold on what constitutes a suspicious situation that should be called in to 911. As you say though, it is fortunate that nobody was hurt and that what was taken can be replaced.
