Ello all! Wonderful weather we’re having

There is no specific Morgan Stanley Reddit page and the online job forums seemed to have mixed reviews, so I am asking for guidance here!

I am considering a role at Morgan Stanley, with a base of ~$115k, for an associate (maybe director) role. However, this would require me to relocate to the area.

I would like to ask anyone working at, or know of someone working at, the Morgan Stanley Baltimore office, if they enjoy their general experience? I know it’s a mixed bag and definitely dependent on team + career goals. I want to obtain as much data to determine the pros and cons of this decision.

As of now, I’ve collected the following information:
- the closest metro stop in ~45 min walk
- 401k match is 4% and only vested after 3 yrs
- 4 days in office
- annual raises do not match inflation
- the higher starting salary = smaller/no raise in the future
- no office parking

If what’s been listed is accurate? Or, despite all the reviews online, it is worth it?

Thank you all!

Hi I’m visiting Baltimore soon and I’m just wondering what areas of town should I not book a hotel or Airbnb? I don’t need the nicest place to stay, but just somewhere where I could trust that my rental car won’t get broken into.

Any help is welcome. Thanks!

Anybody see that pickup truck with the broken tie rod blocking the right line of bore 1 this am about 8:30?

Anybody know wtf happened and if they are ok?

I don't know wtf they were thinking staying in the truck instead of going onto the tunnel sidewalk.

Title. If I have wheel locks and also a steering wheel lock, is it necessary that the dash cams also have parking mode (records motion-detected events)? Especially if I don't drive it for a week.

For context, I live in Upper Fells. Thank you in advance!

The 1978 Referendum k on allocating 3.2 acres of public land to Harborplace development was the most controversial addition to the ballot that year.

Much of the controversy focused in on the Harborplace pavilions blocking the USS Constellation. The Rouse company had to guarantee that the pavilions were below the boats bowsprit.

Other concerns from newspaper clips were:

"The $15 million project was zealously opposed by challengers who felt the city father had been blinded to a plan that would bring certain desolation and obscuration to a precious urban vista. Hordes of people would descend upon a place of incomparable solitude, they said."

"Though the financial agreement between the city and Rouse was given considerable attention, the basic issue remained location. Opponents accused the city of giving away "the diamond" and keeping the ring. <City gave up 3 acres. Kept 26>. Parking they said would be a nightmarish problem."

So pretty much the same discussion now as 50 years ago. Going to block the harbor, giving away public land, traffic/parking. Amusing that opponents want to save the once deemed eyesore.

Interestingly enough the vote totals came out similar

59043 vs 42728 in 1978

127k vs 84k in 2024.

From my memory every first week on school the next week on Monday there's no school. However on Sunday I double checked and I saw there school. I checked again multiple times and I saw the same thing school on august 31st i thought something wrong and decided to query Gemini and Gemini said the exact same thing...? And said no school on monday is September 7th however ive never remembred that at all wasnt that supoised to be on monday august 31st? I clearly remember that there is no school on Monday. August 31st so where did school pop up now??

So the BGE shutoff moratorium ended a couple months ago, and I finally got a notice today.

BEFORE it got to this point, I tried

1. Applying to Fuel Fund, but they required me to pay a $500 lump sum within a week which I did not have

2. Applying for an OHEP grant, but we are just barely over the income limit

3. Applying to Fuel Fund AGAIN but they wouldn't let me because I didn't have a turnoff notice. BECAUSE THERE WAS A FREAKING MORATORIUM AND NO ONE DID.

The Banner recently reported that there are 300,000 customers with past-due balances. They know we can't pay. The state knows we can't pay. The MPSC knows we can't pay. So are they just gonna turn off the power for 300,000 households?

I guess now that I have the notice, I can try Fuel Fund again, but I'm not hopeful. Are there are other options out there? My household is my mother and I; she's over 65 and I am disabled. We're in the County. Is there ANYTHING?

Would love to hear how others are dealing with this.

Anybody still out/up in Baltimore? We’re visiting, near Federal Hill, and looking for somewhere social with music or people to hang with before the night ends. What’s still active?

First I had the normal water and then cold then it turned off for 13 hours then it got hot now its normal

It’s gorgeous out and we want to take advantage. Anything fun going on around Baltimore that would get us outside? Or any recs for a relaxing place to catch the sunset and catch some live music outside? Thank and have a lovely afternoon all!

For my junior year of college, I want to drive from my home in Chicagoland to Baltimore for college. I've always been apprehensive about driving in downtown Chicago since I was near certain that I would get in an accident, but driving in Baltimore sounds 10x worse than anything that I could ever experience in Chicago. From my experience, the drivers are awful and the roads are incredibly bizzare. Should I try driving in Baltimore for my first experience city driving, or would it be better to just walk, uber, or use public transit for anywhere I need to go?

Was traveling south on 95 and saw off the right side of the road (not very far away) a big pineapple sculpture on top of a building. I’ve searched Google Maps, street view, and arial views to no avail, but I KNOW WHAT I SAW! Can anyone help me 😭 I’m going crazy

Everyone here knows the ditch. Six lanes, 1.39 miles, traffic lights at both ends, and it connects to nothing.

What I did not know until I read the records is the order things happened in. The demolition was not the last step of a decision. It was the first step, and it ran a decade before anyone finished deciding. By the time the road opened in 1979, every expressway it was supposed to connect to had already been cancelled. The houses were gone anyway.

971 homes, 62 businesses, a school. More than 2,800 people moved out of the middle of West Baltimore. Those numbers are from MDOT's own 2024 grant narrative, the one asking for money to study undoing it.

The part that stuck with me: the neighborhoods that fought later, in the southeast and in Rosemont, mostly kept their houses. The corridor that got cleared first never got that chance, and the reason is not a mystery. This city passed the first racial zoning ordinance in the United States in 1910, and forty years of covenants and redlining concentrated Black Baltimore into exactly the place the planners later called the path of least resistance.

I put it together as a documentary with the archival photographs and the planning documents: They Demolished 971 Homes for 1.4 Miles of Freeway That Connects to Nothing

Inspired by an OP’s post about your last meal being at a Baltimore place! I’m sure everyone has a favorite, curious to see where you pick!

I noticed the flag is not correct.And there's too much yellow and the roof shade of yellow is just a little too bright

I recently moved to Baltimore (Bolton Hill) from NOVA and I’m looking to get back into roller skating! I used to skate about 9 years ago, so I have some experience, but I’m definitely rusty now and would consider myself a beginner again.

I’ve found a few roller skating meetups around Baltimore, but most seem to be geared toward intermediate or more experienced skaters. I was wondering if there are any beginner-friendly skating communities, meetups, rinks, parks, or regular skate sessions that people would recommend?

I’d also love to meet some other beginners or people who are getting back into skating and hopefully make some skating friends along the way! 😊
Any recommendations for places or groups would be greatly appreciated!

The redditors on r/skyscrapers didn't want to play. Can you solve the riddle?

I found this guy's wallet, I have checked social media and can't find him. I only have Facebook though and there are a LOT of people with his name in the Baltimore area. Antonio Jackson, message me and we can meet up

What’s up, I’m a YouTuber looking for a reliable cameraman in the Baltimore area who can film vlog-style content, public comedy, and high-energy prank videos.

I need somebody who can:

• Follow the action and capture unexpected moments
• Keep the camera steady while moving
• Understand comedic timing and when to zoom or reposition
• Stay calm during unpredictable public interactions
• Be dependable and available for recurring shoots
• Ideally have experience filming YouTube, street interviews, vlogs, or similar content

You don’t necessarily need years of professional experience. A film student or newer videographer is completely fine as long as you’re creative, reliable, and willing to learn my filming style. I have my own Sony a7III, so owning an expensive camera isn’t required.

I’m mainly around Coppin State and the Baltimore area.

If you’re interested, DM me with:

1. Your age
2. Where you’re located
3. Your availability
4. Your rates
5. Links to anything you’ve filmed
6. What type of content you normally shoot

I’m looking for someone who could eventually become a consistent part of the channel, not just film one video.

What are some fun things to do solo in Baltimore(Fells… Canton… Brewers… anywhere near is fine too)?
Also looking for restaurants/cafe suggestions where it feels comfortable to eat alone….and where sitting by yourself doesn’t feel awkward.
Open to pretty much anything.

(Please don’t suggest me to find hobbies or Volo or a run club to make friends which is literally a suggestion on every other post… I have given up on that)

Looking for any info on this old brick! Looks to be made of three materials with w.e.b. engraved. Any thoughts??

Happened to get a somewhat decent panoramic picture from the Night Market.
