We’ve reopened under new management. Thanks to the admins for making it happen.

You may recognize my handle from r/Maryland, where I’ve been a mod for a number of years, or from r/Baltimore and the myriad other subreddits where I am an active poster.

I live in Towson and work in media relations. Prior to that, I spent a decade in journalism, working for WBAL-AM, WJZ-TV, Technical.ly and Patch.

This is a place to discuss county news, issues and events. County politics, bar recommendations, education discussions. If it’s relevant to the county, bring it here.

Albino Squirrel Spotting

This is the second time in a week I've seen this little guy. I read online they're pretty rare in my area (Eastern Baltimore County) and that if I've seen it before, it's most like the same squirrel because they're so rare. I thought it was a cool find.

The Cloisters in Lutherville

20 Upvotes

Does anyone have any pictures of the interior from the 90s when it was a children's museum before it got moved to Port Discovery? It was a big part of my childhood and I'm finding that reminiscing about it is difficult-- the internet doesn't seem to remember it at all. I almost barely remember anything about it other than the way it made me feel, if that makes sense.

Thinking about becoming a Baltimore County police officer, what can I expect after the physical test? How intense is the polygraph, background, etc?

David Marks calls himself a “bipartisan problem-solver.” So why is he campaigning with Maryland Freedom Caucus leaders?

I personally thought it was weird to see his campaigns touting "bipartisanship" right next to his MD Freedom Caucus Twins (Ryan Nawrocki and Kathy Szeliga) fundraiser together? I can't be the only one to have noticed the contradiction, right?

Private middle school recommendations

5 Upvotes

I’m interested in getting opinions about private middle schools in northern Baltimore County. I didn’t grow up here so I don’t have personal experience with any of them.

My son has been in public school but we are considering private for middle and high school. We would prefer coed. He is bright, but struggles a bit with writing and we recently found out he has dysgraphia and (mild?) ADHD (so far it doesn’t seem to be impacting him at school much). He is interested in STEM, robotics, and engineering. He is not a big sports kid.

We are considering McDonough, Park, Friends, and Jemicy. Any first hand experiences - good or bad? How are these schools at accommodating learning differences, especially dyslexia or dysgraphia?

Thanks!

Best post office near Towson/Timonium

After several negative experiences, I need help finding a post office with quick, friendly service and doable parking.

Looking for one in the general Towson/Timonium area.

I’m just sick of being treated like I’m the asshole for bringing a package to be mailed :( maybe I’m too sensitive but getting treated so rudely is really starting to wear on me.

Baltimore County eyes $311K salary for official, far more than governor, Congress

The Baltimore County Council is reviving a proposal to raise the salary for the county administrative officer to $310,721 — nearly $48,000 above the current pay — as it considers separate raises for the county executive and council members.

A resolution introduced Monday would increase the salary starting June 2027. The council removed the same increase from a broader personnel bill in June without discussion.
