Johns Hopkins Hospital Job Openings

Johns Hopkins Hospital has 400 job openings on its main campus.

The main campus is located on Broadway past Fells Point and Canton in Downtown Baltimore.

The chief operating officer, Judy Reitz, states that this does not include openings some of its’ other campuses.

They are also building new patient towers to be opening in January 2012, which could bring as many as 1,000 new jobs to the area.

Johns Hopkins Hospital employs over 6,000 people.

The Baltimore Business Journal reports that the jobs listed as open include:

rehabilitation specialists; administrative assistants; nurse managers; lab technicians; pharmacists; computer programmers; and equipment managers. Reitz said the hospital also is always looking for registered nurses, housekeepers, security guards and cafeteria workers.

This is great news for the Baltimore real estate market, because this could mean people moving into the area and possibly buying houses to take advantage of the incredibly low interest rates and low housing prices.

Coupled with the “Find Your Happy Place in Baltimore” campaign for the summer, Baltimore’s economy could see a great boost in resolving its’ current deficit.

Snowpocalypse 2010 2.0 brings SnowSayCanYouSee 2010 2.0 Tomorrow in Fells Point

As I lament about what bad the Snowpocalypse 2010 2.0 brings, in Downtown Baltimore’s Fell’s Point comes the fun snowball fight called SnowSayCanYouSee at Broadway Square at Broadway and Thames to enjoy the large amount of snow we will have on the ground.

The last one was just this last Saturday, as we are due to have the second blizzard in one week in the Baltimore area, the “fun” just doesn’t seem to end! We make history with this storm, and hopefully many will enjoy another good snowball fight.

Details are posted on Facebook for anyone who wants to join in. Date: February 10, 2010, Time: 2:30 pm

The likelihood is that roads will be closed so you need to live close enough to walk to enjoy this great time tomorrow. So if you live in or around Fell’s Point, don’t miss it!

Snowpocalypse 2010 “Snow Say Can You See” Snowball Fun in Fells Point February 6, 2010

With the “Snowpocalypse” coming tomorrow through Saturday night with predictions of snow accumulations of around TWO FEET, residents of Downtown Baltimore are ready to have fun.
On December 19, 2009, we got about this same amount, and there was a fun snowball fight in Federal Hill called “Snow Say Can You See”.
This Saturday, February 7, 2010 is Snow Say Can You See Part Two — this time in Fell’s Point at the Broadway Square at Thames and Broadway.
A great time was had by all who attended the last, and I am happy to see that they are moving across the Harbor to let more city residents enjoy!
What a wonderful idea to get people out of their houses for a safe, fun time, since attendees will walk from their houses!
Enjoy to those who get to go — and take pictures to share!

Kooper’s Chowhound Burger Wagon in Hunt Valley Monday January 18, 2010

Koopers Tavern on Thames Street in Fells Point is very well known for their terrific burgers.

They decided to take their famous burgers on the road in the form of the Kooper’s Chowhound Burger Wagon so people all over Baltimore can enjoy their award winning tastes!

The burgers are for everyone — they have angus, bison, turkey and veggie burgers! Toppings can include the basics or as interesting as blue cheese, applewood smoked bacon, peppers and jack cheese.

Exciting for some in the Northern Baltimore County area is that the wagon will be in Hunt Valley tomorrow in the rear parking lot behind the Verizon Building close to Schilling Road (map).

So if you plan to be in Hunt Valley or Cockeysville tomorrow, make sure to stop by to try one of their burgers. I may see you there!
