Anybody else with NO power in the NW Baltimore County area since last night (4th of July)? I am!
Since around a few minutes after 7:00pm last night during the VERY BEGINNING of the 1-hour thunderstorm we had, the electricity at my house, & my WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD, lost electricity, & it has not been back on since several hours ago!
& I called BG&E pretty quickly after the power went out, & so far there has been NO RESPONSE or anything from them! I have been checking the BG&E website for the "Outage Tracking" feature, so far NOTHING HAS BEEN UPDATED AT ALL from their end, hours later! & Their "Outage Notifications" is a complete joke, as my family & I have received NO NOTIFICATIONS from them at all! It is like BG&E are not doing anything right now about any of these outages & the storm ended hours ago!
Sadly BG&E has become worse & worse over the years! We are all paying more money for their service as each year goes by, but their quality of service gets lower & lower! & This craziness on the 4th of July proves my point further with them!
Here are a few screenshots of the Outage Tracking page from their website. Sorry for the rant, hopefully soon everybody's electricity will come back on, everybody be safe & careful!
Why make them illegal if no one is going to enforce it? There should be places people can go to avoid them without needing an in-home sound proof bunker. Somewhere that it is illegal to shoot them off seems like a place that there would be that reasonable expectation, no? If these laws aren’t upheld, why uphold any law?
I dropped my mail-in ballot in the mailbox at 6:45am on election morning, June 23, which is well before the 9:00am collection time. A few days later, I received an email confirmation stating that my ballot was received on June 27.
On a whim this afternoon, I decided to check my ballot's status at https://voterservices.elections.maryland.gov/VoterResults and learned that it was Rejected for being "Late for election." However, we know this is incorrect because as long as your ballot was postmarked by election day, it will be counted.
I want my vote to be counted, especially because I'm in a district that has an extremely close race, so I have emailed the Baltimore County Board of Elections at elections@baltimorecountymd.gov to let them know. Unfortunately, since the results are scheduled to be certified the morning of July 6 at 8:30am, I think I caught the error too late. Still, I'd rather let them know now so they're made aware of the mistake to make sure it doesn't happen again in the future, when it will matter even more.
Also, I feel this needs to be said: I have voted by mail in every election since I have been able to vote. This mistake *DOES NOT* make me question the validity of the method and I will continue doing so for every election in the future. I'll just try my best to mail it at least a day early next time.
EDIT: u/Particular_Egg4073 pointed out that mail may not be postmarked on the day it's collected, so you should manually request one at the postmark counter: https://about.usps.com/newsroom/statements/010226-postmarking-myths-and-facts.htm. Thank you!
EDIT 2: u/Pasunepomme also pointed out that using the dedicated ballot collection drop boxes up until the close of the election on Election Day will guarantee your vote is counted.
So yes I was in Salisbury one night. Picked up friends from the bar and was pulled over in my Bright blue Sports car at around midnight I was completely sober and when they pulled me over said I was over the line. I was then pulled out of the car and said if I do the sobriety test I was good to go after. I did the test and passed and they still arrested me they then illegally searched my car, harassed me and took me to the sheriffs office I blew a zero. I was charged with DUI and driving on drugs so far beyond of driving and driving on CDS and reckless driving charge. Everything was Dismissed in court with my lawyer expect driving over the stop sign. I want to Sue for pain and suffering, false arrest, false imprisonment, harassment, and unlawful search and seizures.
I live in ocean city Maryland 25 year old male can anyone recommend a civil lawyer for me on this kind of stuff or if anyone has anything they can share if they have a similar story or problem thanks I really appreciate all of you.
I knew since day one I was beating this case. In total this police department got my BMW impounded. $420, lawyer fee $2,000 and fee for stop sign was $250 and one point.
TDLR: I was wrongfully arrested and imprisoned for a dui was harassed illegal search on vehicle and on top of that the sheriff that arrested me was in a sheriff Mustang car BLASTING NBA YOUNGBOY!
Hello! We just had an offer accepted on a house in the Southland Hills neighborhood in Towson. Is anyone familiar with the neighborhood? What is it like living there? Also, does anyone have any experience with West Towson Elementary? My son would be going into the 1st grade. Thank you!!
Hello! As the title says, I'm looking for some volunteering options around here.

I grew up in the BCPS system and even as a kid thought the schools could be more eco friendly. I went to schools in bcps that didnt have ac in every classroom but imagine the difference if every school had solar panels to power ac and energy efficient windows could make such a huge difference when there are extreme temperatures. Im sure there would be people against it at first but the county has a huge deficit and things like this could be the future.
I am getting divorced in Baltimore County, Maryland. I have retained an attorney and he has said that he submitted the initial request for divorce to the court and my ex would be served with papers in the next 2 weeks. It has been 2 weeks and nothing.
I did some of my own research online and determined that Maryland requires e-filing. I know the ex must be served actual papers for the initial notice but it seems the court case request had to be e-filed, which should be quick. However, when I search myself on Maryland Case Search there still is not a case number showing. So to me that seems as if a case has not even been filed/created yet? Let alone my ex being served. I don’t want a lawyer that’s going to drag their feet. I wanted this done as fast as possible, which is why I’m concerned that it’s been 3 weeks since our first meeting and my case hasn’t even been filed yet.
So can someone tell me if I’m mistaken and a case most likely has been created but my ex just hasn’t been served quite yet, and the case will take a little while to show up in case search? Thanks for your help.
I just wanted to tell anyone with a sports car that lives in Woodlawn/Catonsville Lincoln Woods Drive that blasts their bass at all hours of the day, races through a 25 going 60-70 mph or decides to unload the power of their mufflers. FUCK YOU!
WHO do you think you are? Putting peoples safety at risk and blowing out your mufflers at all hours of the day shaking my house and scaring my 83 year old mother. Get a life and get fucked 🖕
New to the area and my daughter will be going into 10th grade. Looking for honest feedback about private schools— specifically Concordia Prep, Maryvale, and John Carroll (Harford County). She is in GT/ Advanced classes, very strong academically, but quieter/ more introverted. We moved from out of state and need honest opinions! Thanks!
i’ll be outside smoking, and these little super small tiny tiny gnat like things keep landing on me occasionally. i use the deep woods dry bug spray for the mosquitos, but these little shits don’t seem to care about it 😭 i also burn a citronella candle and idk. they just showed up maybe a few days ago when it got super hot. any ideas or remedies on how to keep them away from me? 🙏😭
So the Micro Center on Jappa rd is so much better than the Apple Store was, the sales guy is actually knowledgeable and their service guys don’t talk to you like your dumb
Right now I have my AC window unit running 24/7. I have the thermostat at 78 during the day and 72 at night. I think from 3-8pm the usage costs are higher, if that’s correct. I was thinking of running the AC at 72-73 from 9am to 1pm to cool the house down before 3pm.
Any thoughts here? Thank you.
Did a silver Ford focus sedan hit you and run? I may have pictures for you
My dog and I were attacked yesterday at 830 pm at Belmont Stationed by a dog whose owner was walking them without a leash. Stitches needed with a $860 dollar vet bill.
Dog was possible a pit/retriever mix, blonde short course hair, red collar.
Owner was 6'2" or taller, mid 20's to early 30's, possibly of Indian descent, no accent heard, lighter complexion and dark hair.
Owner offered to share contact information, but then asked what he should do. I told him to put the damn leash on because another dog was about to come around the corner, and that I'd be back downstairs after getting my dog somewhere safe.
After a quick look over, I went back down and he had left. I havent seen the man or this dog around here before, but tbf I wasnt paying attention.
If anyone knows anyone matching this description in the area, please DM me, the last thing I want to do is file a police report and possibly get this dog put down if all he needs is a competent and responsible owner.
