We have done a press release, let me summarize.

We are buying some trains, they aren't here yet though, some use batteries and we'll claim they are better for the environment despite the lithium

The NEC is getting some new bridges

(and a tunnel)

Chicago Union Staion is going to be renovated. Baltimore will get some skyscrapers for no reason at their Penn Sation.

Following the ADA is pretty cool and we might do that

If you live outside Chicago or the Northeast go fuck yourself.

Arrival to Baltimore

Caroline's High On The Ladder

Klaus: Caroline?

Caroline: What up, bro?

Klaus: I need you to climb back on that strungness ladder, and I need you to climb pretty high.

Caroline: How high?

Klaus: Remember that time we went to the deli for cold cuts, and the ticket machine was broken, so you found out what time everyone arrived and made them get in a single-file line from earliest to latest?

Caroline: Yeah.

Klaus: Higher.

Caroline: Copy that. You might wanna stand back for this, Elijah. It can get pretty intense. All right, you mooks, our union health plan has 100% reimbursement for out-of-state ambulance rides. Finn will fake a medical emergency.

Finn: Don't need to fake it. Always having at least one.

Caroline: Great. You call an ambulance, and have it take us here to Monroe, Louisiana. The ambulance can drive 25 miles over the posted speed limit, so we'll get there by 9:00 p.m. There's a small airport there, mostly servicing crop dusters. Of course, they can't take passengers, but thanks to a loophole in H.R. 377551, police officers are allowed to commandeer any plane in the interest of national security. The crop duster will land at an airstrip outside of Finksburg, Maryland. We'll take a cab to Baltimore, jump on the 6:48 a.m. train to New York, arriving at 9:26. Katherine will meet us at Penn Station with a fresh Captain's uniform. From there, it's a 29-minute cab ride to One Police Plaza. You change on the way, and we should get to your meeting with five minutes to spare.

[Everybody begins clapping]

Caroline: Stop clapping, you idiots! We gotta move, move, move!

Klaus: I love her.

i also do appreciate that the ambient music in baltimore penn station is classical

Heading back to Baltimore from New York is significantly more pleasant now because the Moynihan Train Hall is a vast improvement over the old waiting area in Penn Station. I haven’t been able to fully try the new food hall mainly because we leave in the mornings, but I do get a lox spread sandwich from H&H Bagels to enjoy on the train. (I tried the smoked salmon sandwich, but it isn’t as good, is more awkward to eat, and is more expensive.)

Why are the train stations in both Baltimore and NYC called Penn Station? Confusing

MY CASE FOR MAYOR OF BALTIMORE:   I lost this long email to look for a link to send y'all. I live Coppin Heights. I can touch Coppin State University from my house. Mayor Scott is the struggle Mayor. Trying a little bit of this or that. Never accomplishing much. Baltimore has it all. Great Mass Transit. Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Thurgood Marshall International Airport. AMTRAK(from Balt-Penn Station you can get to NYC Pennsylvania Station in under 3 hours). MARC commuter trains will take you to DC on a discount. METRO subway, MTA Light Rail, Baltimore Link buses cover the city map. We will increase residential & business occupancy until we have no vacancies. When we get over 1,000,000 residents. I will talk to Commissioner Silver, his deputy, NBA Ownership Fraternity, and the NBPA, and we will win the NBA lottery(by making the case for Baltimore) and receive the BaltimoreCharm. The BaltimoreCharm will win in the High Technology Jordan Brand Arena between Franklin/Mulberry & Fulton/Pulaski. CSU was a hot mess 20 years ago. The city and state are investing in Coppin because parents did not want their kids in Coppin Heights/Mondawmin region right next door to Frederick Douglass High School. Target left Mondawmin because of theft of expensive over the counter drugs. Very easy to steal and make a drug cocktail with Fentanyl, Painkillers, and Valiums. Target never leaves big cities unless the circumstances really kill their bottom line. That old Target store was finally purchased by Tim Reagan(CEO of Whiting-Turner Contracting Company) and is now The Village. The Village will host businesses that are needed in the eight west and Greater Mondawmin Community But why did this take so long? There is a "Baltimore Renaissance", but Brandon is like a snail. People of a certain age are going to be dead before it is realized because the gears grind slow with Democrats and big bureaucracy because everyone got their hands in the Baltimore Treasury trying to get the most money. GREED! This is the impediment to good things happening expeditiously. Black neighborhoods have been pillaged and left for dead. No functioning school. No functioning supermarket. No community center. No trash cans. Yes, I said trash cans. No banking. No nothing!  I am running with the Green Party. We have the radical, fresh ideas that will make BaltimoreCity the envy of America.Not in 2030  But NOW!! We will #RebuildBaltimore more expeditiously and with less taxpayer funds so we can refund education and welfare programs that help people who work hard but earn low wages. We also need to raise the minimum wage to $22.50 per hour. Baltimore also will receive a much needed rebrand. A lot of my old friends never even been here..The question is why? Because of our reputation. That there is nothing to see here. Nothing to do here. It is so bad drug dealers from New York came down here to do business and never made it back. In the beginning of the rebrand, we must remove those hideous images of abandoned neighborhoods on Bing, Google, and Yahoo! Those images will  swapped out with positive images of Baltimore. I am asking for your vote because iLoveBaltimore more. Bmore as we call it. We can really be "The Greatest City In America." Please take a peak at this 3rd Party Debate with our Presidential Candidates Jasmine Sherman & Dr. Jill Stein. I even liked some of Chase Oliver's ideas. > Sincerely yours, > Erik Powery 1701 Moreland Ave Baltimore, MD 21216-3708 https://www.erikpowery.com

this song is what it feels like to be in baltimore penn station at 9:36am with a baggie of apple slices and some snackies and a cool book to read and a butch’s hand to hold while you wait for the track number to be announced for your train to philly

There are no Kiosks in Bagels. There is no such thing as a bagelry

Getting a freaking bagel should be fun not an exercise in more mindless technology. It's a bagel. Order it. walk out on to 7th avenue take it out of the perfect brown bag and eat it on the train. That's all there is.

I like Essa Bagel – I usually go to the store near Penn Station (NYC). I go in and ask for bagels; they hand me bagels – the best in the world. So, I went into a place in Baltimore – Towson Hot Bagel. I couldn’t ask for a bagel and have someone hand me a bagel. – I had to use a computer kiosk to order bagels, then I waited in line behind people ordering victuals that would handle a small cargo…
