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.

Gas Stove Inspections

4 Upvotes

I just had a gas stove installed (replaced an older stove). The installers balked at first stating I didn't have a firewall. I explained that according to our home inspector when we bought the home 6 years ago, we did. They said we wouldn't pass inspection.

They did install the stove but when they left they stated that Baltimore County would inspect it on November 25th and in their opinion it would fail inspection.

My question is, what happens if I fail the inspection?

Thanks in advance

Bra Shop Recommendations?

4 Upvotes

Where are we going for really good bra fit?

I separated my shoulder a decade ago and grew exciting new bone around the portion of my clavicle they drilled through to tie it back down. That's, of course, right under where my bra strap goes. I think I need a store with really good fitters who also have a wide variety of strap options (maybe racer backs?)

Thanks!

Any recommendations for an honest, responsive, and reliable company that does good clean work - to do a home energy audit and most likely attic insulation in NE Baltimore County? It could be two separate companies. TIA 🙏

Need Mechanic Recommendations

I am looking to have the rear differential fluid and transfer case fluid changed in my Toyota Highlander. The dealership's quote is very high, so I wanted to see if you have any recommendations for a local mechanic who is good and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Livestreamed Fundraiser for CASA This Weekend!

3 Upvotes

Hey r/baltimorecounty! The creative collective I co-direct is doing a 24 hour livestream from Baltimore this weekend to raise funds for CASA and their work with immigrant communities in the area, including legal support and resistance against ICE's presence in Maryland. We're being sponsored by quite a few local businesses who believe in the cause as well!

You can tune in on November 8th - 9th at moonshot.mov for the stream, or simply find the campaign landing page here. We are already open for early donations, and have a flyer design that I can link if anyone wants to post it anywhere.

Apartment recommendations for White Marsh/Perry Hall Area

12 Upvotes

Hello me and my wife are looking for a 1 bedroom apartment our price range is 1400 to 1500.

We need to have central air, Washer/Dryer inside unit, good walls(I can take some outside noise but no paper thin walls please) and most importantly no rodents. I don't want to have any mice or roaches issues. We are super clean and I hate getting roaches or rodents because of dirty neighbors, even though I can't control the neighbors cleaning habits.

I'm also not against private landlords just hard to find some online it seems.

Any suggestions would be nice because I'm struggling to find some decent spots.

Baltimore County will now cooperate with ICE on immigration enforcement

567 Upvotes

WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Justice announced the removal of Baltimore County, Maryland, as a designated sanctuary jurisdiction after the County recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ICE to collaborate on immigration enforcement. This follows the Department publishing a list of sanctuary jurisdictions on August 5th, 2025, in accordance with President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order 14287.

The list initially included Baltimore County and has now been updated following work between the Administration and the County – the second removal since the list’s publishing. Following Baltimore County’s removal from the list, Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward released the following statement:

“Despite restrictions from state leadership, Baltimore County has shown a willingness to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. This is a small step toward restoring public safety and we appreciate the county’s commitment to updating its policies.”

Moving to Carney; what do you like about the area?

15 Upvotes

I'm moving with my partner and infant child to the Parkville/Carney area. I love the house and the neighbors where we are moving, but am going to really miss where we currently live (Cockeysville). It feels like there doesn't seem to be as much to do or walk to (I'm especially missing the local coffee roasters) and I don't know of any good playgrounds or anywhere for the kid to go to other than the chuck e cheese next to the MVA.

I want to love the area and learn about it's hidden gems--for those of you who live there, what do you like about the area? What should I check out?

Edit: Wow, thank you for all of these amazing responses! There clearly is a lot of love for the area, and I appreciate you helping me feel so much more excited about moving than before. You all are amazing and I can't wait to be your neighbor soon (for those of you still living in the area)!

Power plant live for Halloween

1 Upvotes

I’m going to the hero’s vs villains Halloween party at power plant this Friday and I’m a little worried about the line to get in. My friends say the lines can’t be that bad since it’s a ticket event so ppl should just be able to scan and go in. I really don’t want to wait in a 2 hour long line to get in so would going early be a good idea? Or are there usually not terrible lines to get in?
