Speaker 4 00:00:18 I'm a veteran of this podcast, <laugh> at
Speaker 1 00:00:20 This point. And so we got rolling with this podcast so fast. So I want to introduce our two new team members and also talk to Megan A. Little bit about, um, her experience living in, uh, the Baltimore area. So Caitlin, you were born at Johns Hopkins, weren't you?
Speaker 3 00:00:34 Yep. I was born at Johns Hopkins. Um, I was raised in the Rogers Forge area, so I spent a lot of time there in, you know, stone Lee, honestly. Towson, Ruxin, Timonium, that kind of whole, um, Baltimore County Circle. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:00:49 Right. Uh, north, uh, beltway. Yeah. Yep. What about you, rush?
Speaker 2 00:00:53 I grew up in East Baltimore in the Johnson Square community. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> over there by east, um, Broadway.
Speaker 1 00:00:58 Yep. So you born and raised in Baltimore City, you know, all the neighborhoods probably pretty much <laugh>. Yeah. Uh, that, that's awesome. And Megan, you came here a little bit later in life and, uh, moved into Fells Point, right?
Speaker 4 00:01:09 Yeah, I grew up in, uh, New York. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, and then I moved here, um, right in Fells Point about, mm, I think it was June, like April of 2019. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, so right when Covid hit and everything shut down <laugh>, uh, which was great, <laugh>. But, uh, the main draw for us was Fells Point. I mean, I've never, like when I grew up in New York, I grew up in the suburbs. Yep. Um, never actually hated New York City, but when I came here to Baltimore, it was totally different and I absolutely loved it. And Fells Point was one of the neighborhoods that just really, I've, I've never experienced anything like Bells Point, so the couple stone roads, everything. And so that was, it was a really cool experience to actually live in the city for the first time in my life.
Speaker 1 00:01:52 Yeah. So I moved here in to Maryland in 1984. Uh, went to Old Mill High School. I, um, I'll never forget the, the first day of school we had moved just a few days earlier and, uh, the kid came across the street, came out of his house, and he was wearing red parachute pants and, uh, purple Chuck Taylors. And, uh, I just came from, we lived in Guam in Hawaii, and, uh, you know, we wore flip flops and swim trunks and, and, uh, he was like, yeah, I got, you know, five different colors of the parachute pants. I was like, man, what is he, like, part of a clown show, <laugh>, you know, it's pretty, pretty funny. But, um, you know, so later in life when, uh, I moved out of the house, um, you know, we found, I, I didn't move far. Like a lot of times when you move out of the house, you, you live, you know, close by. And then we go to Annapolis on the weekends and Baltimore City on the weekends, Annapolis, Baltimore City, Annapolis Baltimore City, and finally I moved to Baltimore City in Canton. Um, so, um, what about you, Caitlin? When you moved out of, you know, after school, you moved outta the house, whatever, uh, where did you move to and what are some of the other communities you became familiar with?
Speaker 3 00:02:55 Yeah, uh, I moved to Hamden, so I lived right at, um, 36 and Elm in the middle of all the action on the avenue, and I loved living there. Um, then my husband and I lived in Harbor East for a while, and that's a great neighborhood. Um, I also worked in Canton at Brewers Hill, so I'm really familiar with that area as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1 00:03:18 That's awesome. What about you Russ?
Speaker 2 00:03:20 I moved out to the Lock Raymond community, not far from Mount Pleasant Golf Course in Morgan State University. Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 00:03:26 <affirmative>. Oh, I love that area.
Speaker 2 00:03:27 I've lived there. Parkville is right, right up the street from there and not far from there. You also have the be, um, Bellaire Edison community. Yeah. So I'm very familiar with all those communities. I lived in the different communities throughout my life.
Speaker 1 00:03:39 <laugh>. Yeah. No, that's, that's awesome. Uh, yeah, a lot of us, a lot of us move around the, um, then now you move in Bruxton, you live, you moved to
Speaker 4 00:03:48 Bruxton. Yeah, so we love the city. Still love it. I mean, I'm obviously work here and I'm down here pretty much every day of the week. Um, but we ended up going to Bruxton just because we wanted, like, again, I grew up in the suburbs, so I kind of missed having a backyard and like, you know, cookouts and cuz we didn't have that where we were, we were in a condo. So that's kind of why we ended up moving to Rexton. And I, you know, still love the city, but I definitely miss my suburbia. <laugh>.
Speaker 1 00:04:13 What about now, Caitlin, you, um, when you lived, you bought a, you guys bought a place in Sparks,
Speaker 3 00:04:19 Right? Yep. Yeah, so we're up in Sparks. Loveton specifically is the community that we live in. Um, but we spend a lot of time in Hunt Valley. Um, we go for lots of walks at the NCR trail through Sparks, which is lovely. I, yeah, I love where we are now. Obviously I still spend a lot of time down in the city, but, okay.
Speaker 1 00:04:38 What about you Raman?

Lots and lots of parks. I don't have any kids, but if you have kids, this is the ideal place you might wanna live. It's many, many parks. We have gunpowder, state Park, Uhhuh right up the road from there. And it's just a lot of things to do.
