I used to live in Schenectady, near Central Park. I second Christine's suggestions. I've stopped in at The Charles Village Pub and Rocky Run for a drink or two and never had any hassels. You didn't ask about Diners, but in case you're looking for one -- I've been to Diner which is pretty close to you at the corner of 25th and Maryland (or is it Howard?)a few times. That's where Didon and I saw John Waters having breakfast a few weekends ago. My favorite Diner is Papermoon at 227 W 29th Street. They stayed open during the big snows last winter. :) Crystal --- Charlene293 at aol.com wrote: > where can gal from schnectady temp living 2600 blk > st paul have drink w/o > hassel? > good landromat in walk distence? > card store? > dogpoop law here? > thanks > charlene ostrovsky "charsky" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

One is at 3038 Guilford and it is offered by Warren Duffy (spelling?) at 410-332-1037. The second is a 2nd floor one bedroom apartment which has been fixed up pretty nicely by the current tenants. The current tenants need to sublet for a few months because they are buying their own home. If interested, please contact me. The third is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath place which encompasses the 1st floor and basement. Hopefully, two or three teachers/grad students/studious undergrads will rent it. The contact is a 2900 block Guilford neighbor, Alan Niedermayer (spelling?), 410-338-0421. In my earlier note I forgot to mention the Thir-tea First Street Tea Room! It's near the corner of 31st Street and Barclay. I've had breakfast there a bunch of times. The food is really good and the folks are really nice. It's a little more expensive than, say, a chain like Denny's, but the food is much better quality. :) Crystal --- Christine Gray wrote: > Charsky, > > The CVCA meeting was canceled; that's the Charles > Village Civic Association. > > Consider checking out CV more before moving.

The current location, across the street from a local elementary school, endangers the security of the school and has led to several incidents of inappropriate interaction between parolees and school children. Please attend the community forum that will be held on Saturday February 7, 2004 from 9:30 AM to noon in the gymnasium at the Dallas F. Nicholas, Sr. Elementary School, 201 East 21st Street. All concerned citizens are invited. Light refreshments will be provided. The community forum, organized by members of the Barclay-Midway and Old Goucher Coalition, will provide an opportunity for members of the public to express their opinions about the Parole and Probation facility to City and State officials who have been invited to attend. Presentations will be made about the proposed expansion of the Parole and Probation facility at 2100 Guilford Avenue and about City efforts to find alternative sites for this facility. In addition to Barclay, Midway, and Old Goucher, several other nearby communities are supporting the Coalition on this issue which affects all of north-central Baltimore. A press conference was held on Wednesday, February 4, 2004 at 2:30 PM in front of the Dallas F. Nicholas, Sr. Elementary School #39, 201 East 21st Street to bring more attention to the issue of relocating the Parole and Probation facility and to publicize the community forum. For more information, please contact community organizers Sandra Coles at 410-889-0071 x15 or 410-366-7356 or Diane Mosley at 410-662-1262 or 410-215-8941. # # # __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

In-Reply-To: <5.2.0.9.2.20040205115601.023729c8@mscmail.gsfc.nasa.gov> Message-ID: <20040205184320.21575.qmail@web21321.mail.yahoo.com> We need to come up with some positive suggestions regarding the Parole & Probation offices. Everybody is going to say NIMBY! (Not In My Backyard!)to having a huge Parole & Probation Center near their house, but the services are still needed and they have to go somewhere. My impression is that the best approach would be to set up a bunch of small neighborhood offices, rather than a single, large, central location. Smaller centers would be much less intrusive on a neighborhood than one big center. For example, there could be 5 separate centers, which could be open only one day a week, in order to save money on staff. Mondays in NW, Tuesdays in NE, Wednesdays in the middle, Thursdays in SW, Fridays in SE. Of course, I'm assuming that people who need Parole & Probation Services (plus the extra drug abuse prevention services that were proposed) only need them once a week and that they can be scheduled. Are you or do you know anyone who is familiar with the actual processes and typical schedules? Do the courts set hard dates such as "Every Tuesday so-and-so must meet with a Parole Officer?" There is a potential that a handful of smaller centers could cost somewhat more in maintenance, but the costs are likely to be balanced by savings in actually getting people to their appointents. If the distance and difficulty of obtaining transportation were reduced, people would be more likely to actually go to their appointments, reducing the need to pick them up for violating parole, increasing the likelihood that they would get the counseling that they need, etc. Also, I think that the new centers should be located on major transit lines. Not everyone has a car or can pay for taxis. What do you think? Crystal __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I could easily say "It's not my problem; I don't care" to the people who live right next to the current center that did not want to see it expanded before, that do not want to see it expanded further now, and whose children have been accosted in their elementary school nearby. However, as near neighbors, I and YOU have been asked to help. If you don't wish to, that is your choice, of course, but if you do, come to the meeting tomorrow and the folks who are leading the effort will tell us what they want us to do next, since it's their neighborhood and they set the agenda.

I could easily say "It's not my problem; I don't care" to the people who live right next to the current center that did not want to see it expanded before, that do not want to see it expanded further now, and whose children have been accosted in their elementary school nearby. However, as near neighbors, I and YOU have been asked to help. If you don't wish to, that is your choice, of course, but if you do, come to the meeting tomorrow and the folks who are leading the effort will tell us what they want us to do next, since it's their neighborhood and they set the agenda.

Please, for the love of God, when you pull into a space to park your car on the street, pull ALL THE WAY UP to the next car, rather leaving one-half of a spot in front and in back of you. My job as a musician requires that I work in the evenings, and I usually don't get home until very late in the evening. Last night at midnight, upon my return home, there were four "half spots" just on the east side of the 3000 block of Guilford alone, not to mention several on the surrounding blocks. If more people had just pulled up to the car in front of them or in back of them, I wouldn't have had to park illegally last night due to lack of spaces.

Salima Marriott, City Councilman Jack Young, City Council Candidate Mary Pat Clarke, and others. Connie Ross, Jennifer Martin, Lisa Bleich and Sandra Coles expressed sincere thanks for the outpouring of support in recent weeks from everyone present and everyone who has written letters, made phone calls, and signed petitions. The community, as represented by all the folks who attended (most of whom live in the immediate vicinity), is united in opposing the location of client Parole & Probation services next to the elementary school. In addition, everyone wants previously incarcerated people to get the help that they need to successfully re-join the community, while avoiding 1) endangering children, and 2) adversely impacting the neighborhood. Further, no one wants to foist the problems associated with the Parole & Probation Offices on another community. Considering these and other parameters (such as adequate parking for employees and visitors), our representatives have committed to working to find an acceptable resolution, including making contact with appropriate individuals in State and City government. There are a whole bunch of different scenarios that are being considered, including a site in which a single story building may be demolished to make room for a multi-story building with underground parking and buffer zones with residential areas that may include semi-industrial areas. Another scenario would be to move Parole & Probation Administrative Offices to 2100 Guilford, while moving client services to another location with appropriate buffer zones. However, there are only 30 days left on the extension which was granted in January, so more pressure and attention will be needed in the next few weeks. Next Steps 1. Visit Senator Hughes Office. 2. Continue petitioning. 3. Attend the next Coalition Meeting on Monday Feb. 9 at 6 pm in the Ebeneezer Baptist Church. 4. Meet with Nancy Kopp, Treasurer of the State of Maryland. It is likely that a bus will be rented at some near point to take a bunch of folks to Annapolis to speak directly with our representatives. Finally, ABC News Channel 2 was filming the Forum and interviewing people, so you may see a bit on the news tonight. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Last year the region?s elected local executives came together behind the Baltimore Region Rail System Plan. There is a growing consensus behind the need to provide drug addiction treatment to those who need and want it. And a new state commission is looking at the issue of affordable housing here and around the state. On February 18th in Annapolis, urge your state legislators to work together for our quality of life by doing the following: -- Build a first-class regional transportation system that includes avoiding fare increases and service cuts and building Phase I of the Baltimore Regional Rail System Plan; -- Invest ?Community Legacy? funds to revitalize the region?s older communities; -- Ensure the availability of drug treatment for all who need it; -- Stop sprawl and preserve our rural legacy of farms, forests, and open spaces; -- Allow people of all income levels to live near their jobs rather than concentrating affordable housing in older neighborhoods. ------------------------------------------------------- Please pre-register by returning the form below to CPHA by February 13 so we can have the right amount of food for lunch: Name ___________________________________ Organization (if any)__________________________ Address, incl. zip _______________________________________________ Ride bus from CPHA?

Your Chance to Save It! Dear Neighbors and Charles Village Fans, For the past seven years, I have had the pleasure and honor of helping to organize the Charles Village Parade. Working on this award-winning event - voted Baltimore's Best - has been one of the high points of each year for me. Unfortunately, this year due to family health and other personal matters, I am unable to provide the time and leadership needed to organize the parade this year. As such, the parade is in jeopardy. Unless someone steps forward soon to serve as Parade Committee Chairperson the parade will have to be suspended. So please consider volunteering for this most rewarding project. I can provide you with all the necessary organizing materials, including the data base, worksheets, task time lines, as well as templates for applications, flyers, and thank you letters. All you would need to do is convene a small working group about 6 times between mid-February and early June to conduct the outreach, review the applications, and organize the event on parade day. I can walk you through all of these steps. If you or anyone else you know is interested in providing the leadership for this fun-filled, community building event ... please call me immediately to discuss the details and how best to get started. Thanks! Steven Rivelis 410.243.7979 x 11 PS. I hope you help save the Charles Village Parade. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <20040214164043.23227.qmail@web21321.mail.yahoo.com> Not so Arjay. In a typical year, around $80 billion in Federal money (not counting state, county, city, etc funding) is spent on roads, bridges and such for your car, while less than $8 billion is spent on all kinds of transit from Amtrak to buses to Metro to crosswalks for pedestrians, etc. A lot of your costs in registration fees, etc are skyrocketing exactly because of the "no tax" mentality. Fees are being raised by enormous amounts everywhere because a few ultra-rich have convinced nearly everybody that all taxes are bad. By breaking down government infrastructure, they can get away with practices that spread mad cow disease and ecoli, for example, while there aren't enough inspectors to verify the safety of even a tiny percentage of the beef. Fortunately, there are a few business-people who realize that there is a right, ethical way to do things and a wrong, unethical way. These folks want to do things the right way without losing competitive advantage so they support government regulation that is evenly applied to the whole industry, thereby keeping the playing field level. Increasing costs to the consumer is not always a bad thing, especially when it results in greater safety. Next, if all the people who currently ride transit, were forced to drive instead (ignoring for the moment that many of them are older, disabled, etc -- folks who can't drive), traffic congestion would skyrocket. Just between Baltimore and Washington, rush hour traffic would increase by around 25%. As you may know, traffic in this area is already among the worst in the nation, which costs businesses trying to move goods along the I-95 corridor many, many millions in wasted labor time, wasted fuel, and late deliveries. Increasing congestion would increase the cost of groceries, meals at restaurants, anything assembled in the U.S., etc. Further, a large number of the people who are at or below the poverty line are the heaviest users of transit. Folks in that bracket already pay an average 36% -- that is, one-third -- of their yearly income on transportation alone. There isn't any more room to cut. If they get a car, they have an enormously increased chance of breaking down in traffic, risking their lives, your life, and tying up traffic for hours. Finally, a year or so ago the baby boomers started turning 50 at around 50,000 per day and some of the groups that focus on aging populations, such as AARP, started making more noise that people can't drive forever with failing eyesight, hearing, reaction times, etc. These groups are strong supporters of transit. So, either way we're all going to pay for the transportation system. It's up to us to decide how. For example, we could make every road a toll road. Would you support that? --- arjay wrote: > Chaz-ville, > > Shouldn't these fares reflect what it costs to run > the system? I'm very > interested in keeping fares fair, ...that is, > ...fair for me!

Counter Productive Competing Legislation Unfortunately, competing legislation (SB246 & HB 679) has been filed By Senator Currie and Delegate Hixson that would transform the existing program from a tax credit to a grant program. The amount of funding for the program is undefined in the bill and is required to be submitted in the Governor's budget and passed by the General Assembly on an annual basis. Converting the Heritage Tax Credit to a grant program would further undermine its predictability, add bureaucratic layers, and eliminate the market driven nature of a tax credit.

Ask them to oppose ruining such a successful program by attempting to convert it to a grant. (See attached talking points prepared by Preservation Maryland).

I think it's a great city. Let me address specifically your points about bands, poetry and films. Baltimore is pretty good for all of these. I live in the neighborhood called Charles Village. There is an active indy music scene in Baltimore. The Ottobar on Howard has bands all the time: http://www.theottobar.com/ . Poetry: there are several literary and creative associations in Baltimore. The Lite Circle is one. http://www.toadmail.com/~litecirc-literary/index.htm . For independent films, you can't beat The Charles Theater: http://www.thecharles.com/ .

I've previously written to this list how much I like the Bombay Garden -- it did not disappoint. We had their fish masala curry, saag paneer, and malai kofta with appetizers of onion bajia and nan. Grand Cru is the wine bar that recently opened at Belvedere Square. It's definitely trying to be upscale. It's got a pretty nice atmosphere, and it was packed. We got the last table open, and that was about 9:30-10 PM. They had two kinds of British hard cider on tap, Kathleen got the sweeter kind ($6). I got a Belgian-style white beer (that's like Hoegaarden) from California that was excellent ($4.50) also on tap, and our friend Susan got a barley-wine style dark ale from Delaware (I forgot the name but it contains "dog"). This was from a bottle in the display case. That was $7.50 plus a $3.50 corking fee, which surprised me. But, it was truly an excellent barley wine, and our friend loved it. So our three drinks plus tip came to $26. Not cheap, but the selection was great, and the service was good. They also have cheese plates for $8 and a few other food options, like an olive plate and a plate of assorted smoked meats from neighboring shop Neopol (Barbara's store). They sold single bottles and six-packs in their display cases which run the length of half one wall. I'd say their prices are about a thirty percent mark-up over Wells Discount Liquors. So I highly recommend Grand Cru as a place for special occasions, but it's maybe a bit pricey for a regular hangout. If you want a place to hang out with a colleague and solve problems over drinks, I think Xando's would be a better choice. More table space and more room there. Dress: people were definitely dressing up a little bit, so it was more than plain casual. --Emil From Charlene293 at aol.com Mon Feb 23 05:56:59 2004 From: Charlene293 at aol.com (Charlene293 at aol.com) Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2004 05:56:59 EST Subject: [Chat] Community meeting Saturday morning Message-ID: <106.2cb544c3.2d6b367b@aol.com> ounce a NIMBY always a NIMBY charsky -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Generally, something isn't fully funded unless there is an intent to use it. In addition, there are proposals floating around to draft women, to increase the draft age above 30, and to draft college graduates, especially those with computer expertise. If you thought you were safe, you could be wrong. So, I thought it might be a good time to re-send the info on Conscientious Objectors, in case you or someone you care about wishes to go on record as a CO. There are quite a lot of sites out there, but this one is still the best that I've seen: http://www.nisbco.org/What_Do_I.htm . I spoke with a fellow yesterday who warned that applying for CO status is very tricky, since if you say that you would make an exception to fight against Hitler, your application could be denied. However, it is possible to apply for CO status even while in the military, http://girights.objector.org/ . It is also possible to get out of the "Delayed Enlistment Program," if you sign up and then change your mind. Here's one story of someone who got out with an honorable discharge, http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/6181/applic.htm Here's the page on CO from the Selective Service's Official Website, http://www.sss.gov/FSconsobj.htm . Another site that had some interesting info is http://www.draftresistance.org/ . One page says "The minute we force people into military service, we lose what we are fighting for. So don't register!" Although the site does mention that this action is still illegal. Peace, Crystal --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

In-Reply-To: <1077167162.4669.342.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: Baltimore is, to me, the best city in the US. It's a real city with city problems. But the city is manageable. It has neighborhoods and texture and it's near the beach, the mountains, DC, and New York, which is a four-hour train ride. We have a symphony, the visual arts museum, the national aquarium, the Walters Art Museum, The Baltimore Museum of Art, an opera and lots of bands and literary stuff. Hopkins alone has many things going on. I would not live in another US city. It's not Manhattan, but it's not trying to be.

Hi, I saw your post asking about Baltimore on the Craig's List page http://baltimore.craigslist.org/rnr/24664157.html . I think it's a great city. Let me address specifically your points about bands, poetry and films. Baltimore is pretty good for all of these. I live in the neighborhood called Charles Village. There is an active indy music scene in Baltimore. The Ottobar on Howard has bands all the time: http://www.theottobar.com/ . Poetry: there are several literary and creative associations in Baltimore. The Lite Circle is one. http://www.toadmail.com/~litecirc-literary/index.htm . For independent films, you can't beat The Charles Theater: http://www.thecharles.com/ . Hope this helps, --Emil Emil Volcheck Baltimore, Maryland _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at charlesvillage.info http://charlesvillage.info/mailman/listinfo/chat_charlesvillage.info From jberlin at bcpl.net Wed Feb 25 23:58:36 2004 From: jberlin at bcpl.net (jdy) Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2004 23:58:36 -0500 Subject: [Chat] robbery Message-ID: <004401c3fc25$31f78380$7dd4ffcc@comp1> just heard on my scanner about an armed robbery at 28th &guilford. don't know any more details. judy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am not sure why they may not happen but, I heard from a good source. I to went to almost all of them but, I didn't think there was much of a turn out.Maybe other things are planned like speciel events.heard that also. I think Mr Gordon had to get a permit to have them in any case he worked his butt off and I thank him for all the good times me Jack and our friends had. thanks deBorah -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In a way I am sorry I said anything.

Maybe the person who told me will post something please. Thanks deBorah -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
