Dont let their typos fool you, their cheese steaks are toop notch.

Not a smile but there was a Rust-Eze decal on the hood

It's possible but the pizza makers definitely aren't.

I've never had their pizza but their cheese steaks are really good! They're in the same building as the Exxon but in a different part.

By the way, this photo isn't edited beside zooming and cropping. Go to the Exxon at the corner of Little Patuxent Pkwy & Banneker Rd to see it for yourself!

I was trying to think of a sausage joke lol

I'll have to check it out!

Mine is peeperoni.

Peace of Sunshine is in Catonsviille but that's pretty close to EC. The Crystal Fox in Laurel also isn't too far away.

So redistricting can make some areas that were previously unfavorable to development suddenly favorable to it since those areas are now in a "better" school district? Which would naturally increase profits for developers. If so, do you have any past examples to share?

There was one after the Dobbs decision in June. There were hundreds down by the lakefront.

This group has also lobbied Congress alongside the Church of Scientology. They're just bad news any way you cut it.

As someone who lives less than a mile from Merriweather, even that's not so bad. We have young children and the concerts never pose a problem for their sleep. Traffic is sometimes an issue before and after the show. And sometimes you get to hear a band you like play while you take the trash out!

Well that's the thing. This doesn't just apply to the police. It applies to all social services. And none of them are actually enforcing the federal law. Only the federal authorities can do that. Hence Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Let them enforce the laws and receive no help from the county.

The Liberty Act won't make anyone "legal" or not and as far as I know it won't interfere with any process they're going through to do things the "right" way. It simply prohibits county services from sharing immigration status with ICE and allows normal people to live their normal lives without fear after any sort of contact with county authorities.

I am a Columbia resident and a member of Friends of Latin America. We are a Columbia-based community organization based on raising awareness of issues the people of Latin America are facing and the U.S.'s role in them. The event is taking place in the Howard County part of Laurel, where other Columbia-based organizations hold similar actions. On the contrary, this is very deeply rooted in Columbia!

Petitions are certainly a good thing but what we're doing specifically is joining the week of action that is leading up to the UN vote on the blockade of Cuba. This is just one of many actions taking place all over the country, including a rally and march in New York City on the 29th and a rally in DC on November 2nd. You can find a full list on the website.

And you're right, you don't have to be a socialist to support an end to the blockade! The call to action's specific demands are:

·end the blockade against Cuba ·tale Cuba off Washington's list of state sponsors of terrorism ·End all U.S. anti-Cuba economic and travel sanctions

This vote is happening in the UN, meaning each country's delegation will be voting on the measure. The US will be outvoted for the 30th time in a row. There's no vote taking place on the blockade in the United States, if that's what you think this is about.

It won't slow traffic any more than any of the other displays you see along 95.

To be clear, we're not blocking traffic on Gorman Rd or 95. We're hanging a banner from the Gorman Rd overpass to be visible from 95 exactly like any other road sign.

This really strikes at the heart of the issue of national sovereignty .The US government wanted the revolutionary government out of power, and of course so did the corporations operating in Cuba. They wanted to deny the Cuban people their right to self-determination. And you're right, the refineries refused to work with Soviet oil, after the US decided to stop sending US oil to Cuba. Essentially, you had these private corporations and a foreign government trying to dictate Cuba's foreign policy to it! That they couldn't have normal and full normal relations with the Soviet Union.

That's the legacy of the blockade. The United States is dictating Cuba and other countries relate to each other. That's none of the US's business. And none of this is happening in a way that benefits the people of the United States. Whatever the initial justification of the blockade, Cuba has more than paid that price. The world recognizes that it must end, and it's been saying that for 30 years.

Great question! After the Cuban Revolution, the new government decided to nationalize the US-owned oil refineries. Essentially using the resources of Cuba in the interests of the country and its people. For the United States, it's unacceptable for any country to do this, so it unilaterally imposed the blockade.

I don't believe it's a waste of time (obviously since I'm one of the organizers). But also, the United States and Israel are the only 2 countries that have consistently voted against this measure when it comes up (and it does almost yearly).

This year at the Summit of the Americas hosted by the US in Los Angeles, where countries from all over North and South America met to discuss the future of the continents, many refused to send delegations or sent lower-level delegations than they normally would have. Why? Because the United States decided to exclude Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. The countries that denied or limited their participation weren't necessarily left-wing and some are unapologetically right-wing. They simply decided to stand up to US bullying.

So no, I don't think it's a waste of time because opinion is turning against the US on this issue, and the US is the primary obstacle to progress on this and only upwards pressure from the people on this will change the course of the United States regarding the blockade.
