One of the best things about #mybmore Halloween is the @creativalliance Lantern Parade. Even 2020 can't stop it.

It's better when the parade is a walking parade, but these are my favorite. There is a person under that skeleton.

Last weekend, a group of us biked around Baltimore to look at places of interest from the book Not in my Neighborhood, which looks at how racism formed the Baltimore we have today.

Its amazing how government policy from before 1950 largely created Baltimore 2020.

A thread. Preston Gardens is a beautiful urban park in downtown Baltimore, but it was one of the first major urban renewal projects, which was used to displace a Black neighborhood that was too close to city hall.

You know what always makes me laugh? Joking about using my oversized truck to kill or maim those that I disagree with. Good thing there is not a recent instance of someone using their vehicle to do just that.

It seems like a lifetime ago, but Heather Heyer was murdered by a vehicle only 3 years ago.

On Friday, the Baltimore City Council will have a hearing on the police department budget. I scraped the numbers from the last 10 years of budgets and found the police allocation has gone from 20.02% of the 2010 budget to 26.5% 2021.

That's not the whole picture. 1/16 Note I am not a budget guy. I am a numbers & data guy. Most of what I know about the BPD is coming from the historical budgets, which are available on the city website. You too can see how the city has spent $4.74 billion in city funds on the police. 2/16

I live in Baltimore, work in the county, and don't have a car. People ask "How on earth do you do that commute without a car??" I normally just say that its a run->train->commute for simplicity.

But the story is so much more than that. Let me take you on my daily commute. I jog from Upper Fells to the Camden Station Marc. Its a nice jog through Perkins, Little Italy, the Inner Harbor, and down Pratt Street. I hop on the train and enjoy about 18 minutes of internet time.

I get to Dorsey in Hanover, where I am usually the only one disembarking.
