6730 Santa Barbara Ct, Elkridge“The Scottish Rite of Free Masonry broke ground in 1930 on their current building, on the corner of 39th and North Charles Streets, in the Guilford neighborhood of Baltimore. It is an imposing building that houses offices, meeting rooms, a library, and an auditorium. The auditorium will take your breath away; it is so striking. The stage is enormous and there is seating for 1065 guests. On the lower level is a large banquet hall that boasts one of the largest dance floors in the city. It also has two stages and has seating for 450 people. There is a fully equipped kitchen with everything a caterer would need. Also on the lower level is the Scottish Rite Childhood Speech & Language Center, which is a pediatric clinic committed to serving children with a wide range of speech and language impairments. On our first snow storm of the season, we attended their Thanksgiving Thursday lunch. It was delicious. It was so nice to see their Christmas Garden up as well as an extensive array of Nativity sets.”
“I could go here for hours and still not see everything, very fun to peruse and a good place to find supplies and things for all sorts of projects and decorating inside & out”
“Great place to bring your kids or even yourself to walk the trails, check out the beaver dam, stare at the goats, or see the owls. There's an education center there with information and kids classes. I was there most recently on Columbus Day/Indigenous Ppl Day and they're appeared to be hosting a camp for kids since HoCo schools were closed.”

800 Wyman Park Dr Ste. 120, Baltimore“Went to this store to get a new Scouts uniform for my son. Can't say enough good things about this place, especially the generous help from the man running the store. He quickly pointed out the trousers and shorts that would probably fit my son and helped me find a belt. Very friendly and positive throughout. And it feels like they have everything there. They even have some camping equipment if you need it. The only slight drawback was that they don't have someone to sew patches at this time, although they do have adhesive if you want to do it that way. We will be back!”

1911 Crain Hwy S, Glen Burnie“Decent place for the youth to come together for the love of soccer. The parking is decent and spacious. The grounds are maintain fairly well although there was debris around the perimeter, which could be cleaned up after every program. I have yet to go inside the building all of the activities take place outside on the field, both games and practices is a nice field, turf. I think there are some local kids who come and play because it is not locked up which I don’t have a problem with.”
“This is a great place of encouragement and discovery...its tucked away in our south-west Baltimore, a home away from home. G.e.d and tutors, yoga, acupuncture, health and fitness, Art, and enlightenment. Best of all, the staff are family oriented❤️”
“The Toolbank is an asset to the Baltimore Community. The large inventory of quality cared for materials is endless. We couldn't do what we do at BARCS without Rachel and her team.”

2555 Lord Baltimore Dr, Windsor Mill“Edit- upon further investigation, the issue was with NSC directly and not this agency. Jessica here has fixed the issues!I have been trying to get my BLS CPR Trainer certification since JUNE. I was approved by NSC at multiple levels to teach in JULY. I continually email, get bounced around, told new curriculum is coming out, etc. I even offered the buy the old curriculum knowing I would have to buy it again when it is renewed. Nothing. I have had dozens of people miss the opportunity to be CPR certified by me(which I have been wanting to do at no cost to my community), and a cardiac arrest AT MY OFFICE since I have been trying to get this program. You either do not want my money, or do not truly care about safety education to the public.”
“Great place! We are fixing up some old bikes and it was so helpful to have the tools and bike stand available. We also purchased new brake pads and tires to better fit our needs!”

“We've been here a few times for the summer production of the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company. It is always such a great time. We usually get a table and have a picnic with friends. Just be aware that you need to walk a little bit to get from the regular parking area up to the stage. But you can get dropped off if you aren't able to walk that far.”
“I seen this charity on Kelly Clarkson Show, they do great work for those who are in need of a car. This is a great thing taking donations and giving them to families in need. They could really help my family out, my wife needs one for bringing kids to school when school starts.”

8775 Cloudleap Ct Suite 112, Columbia“Discovering the African Art Museum of Maryland (AAMM) was an unexpected delight during our visit to Columbia, MD. Established in 1980, AAMM stands as a pioneer, being the first museum in Columbia and one of only three in the entire USA dedicated solely to the art of Africa. What sets it apart is the fact that it was founded by an African American, adding a unique perspective to the museum's identity.Meeting co-founder Ms. Doris Ligon was a highlight, her wealth of knowledge adding a personal touch to the experience. The impact of AAMM on the community is evident, fostering cultural appreciation and understanding. The value of the art showcased is immeasurable, offering a rich glimpse into the diverse and vibrant heritage of Africa.The museum's commitment to quality is striking, with each exhibit reflecting a meticulous curation that captivates visitors. Highly recommended, AAMM provides not just a visual feast but an educational journey. For those fortunate enough to encounter Ms. Doris Ligon, her insights elevate the visit, making it a truly enriching cultural experience.”
“Bless them for upholding the written word for preservation.There could be more directional signage from the main road, it's down a long driveway, round the bend and then keep on driving.”

“Center for Urban Families is a place that embraces you like Family as soon as you walk into the door. The resources inside those walls are life changing. It will take consistency, effort, and determination by the individual to fully take advantage of all the benefits of the Center. They will definitely help you become the best person you can be. I love CFUF.”
“For more than 5 years my boyfriend and I enjoyed Food Truck Thursday. It was a pleasure to visit the Firehouse parking lot, donate to the Boot or Bucket, grab dinner, speak to locals. It was fun. My favorite Truck was the Korean Fusion and my boyfriend’s was the H&H Grill Truck. Last week I attended Food Truck Thursday and came face to face with ONE of the Anne Arundel County Police Officers who used excessive force on me in my home while my boyfriend was out of town on a work trip. Doesn’t matter the situation, it’s too distressing for me to have to see someone in my community who should have been there when it comes to Protecting and Serving and wasn’t and instead was quick to Judge and traumatized me instead. We, my boyfriend and I, will continue our donations to the Volunteers, why should they suffer for the actions of others. Take care and stay safe.”
“Eclectic, little shop that has a little of everything! If you're a crafter, this is a place for you to find some gems. The inventory changes frequently based on donations. I found lots of goodies that I needed!”
