Baltimore was known for things quirky and lawless long before Mark J. Adams opened what he claims is the exceptional's only hot-pink bail bond office.
And so the city's notorious should survive once the rain lets up and the "shocking pink" former florist shop that Adams moved into a month ago can be repainted.
"We're present to paint it a stately green," Adams said.
Reasonable Deal bail bonds sits at 2150 Boston, in a mostly residential neighborhood between Canton and Fells Thought. Neighbors voiced no qualms about the potential for the business to rank lawbreakers to the neighborhood, Adams said.

"I made a deal with some of the neighbors that I wasn't going to tart the place up — no neon," he said.
He's already redone the in jail, which had never bothered neighbors but was a bit girly-girly for a business especially catering to men — men who'd tangled with law enforcement at that.
"Inside was painted a moss fresh," he said. "We put yellow over that. It had flower petals all over the ceiling. We formerly larboard a couple petals for the sake of amusement."
Adams, 52, is a disbarred counsel who in the 1990s owned a series of short-lived Baltimore newspapers, The Distinct, The Harbor Crescent and The Baltimore Press. He got into his current engage of work after "baby-sitting" an office for a vacationing bail bondsman.
Adventures With My Ice Cream Maker

When the lady behind the counter at the new gelato shop on the More elevated West Side rang up my order and it cost $25 for me and three children, I knew I only had two choices. Either get a job at an ice cream parlor, or buy my first ice cream maker. I’ve always been a fan of frozen desserts. Ice cream, gelato, frozen yogurt, sorbet, it doesn’t amount. Once the temperature hits 85 degrees, I call for something cold. This obsession was easy (and affordable) before I had kids, but now I have to ration! At $5 for a cup or cone, it is survival of the fittest, and my kids recollect better than to get between me and mint chocolate chip.  After ruling out a expected of soft serve, single scoops and samples, I assertive to buy an ice cream maker. Â
Now the tough part, which ice cream maker to buy? First, there is the old-fashioned with a bequeath crank style ice cream maker, but that seemed so pre-industrial. Even if they claim to be fun for kids, mine would get crabby after one crank. The gel canister ice cream maker must be prefrozen, which requires some deposit planning. However, it is affordable and can make some excellent ice cream. At length, there are self-cooling machines that don’t require prefreezing, but they are more valuable and take up a lot of room on a shelf or cabinet.Â
