Baltimore friends! The market has begun! Pop over to 4500 Harford Road until 7:30 tonight for food, music, friendship, and more! 🥰 I'm spinning some silly songs! And there's gon be a choir!
It's carp spawning season! Travel to the shallow end of Baltimore's reservoirs* at this time of year, and if you're lucky, you'll spot some beautiful brown-orange fish getting it on. Some years, I'm not lucky enough to see it! But this is my lucky year! * This is at Liberty.
