Four New Places Coming To Charles Village

Charles Village has a commercial strip with most of your essentials -- there's a Starbucks, a grocery store, a convenience store with late night eats, there are restaurants. However, Hopkins students need to Uber across Baltimore for a pharmacy, need to hitch a ride to another neighborhood for a healthy restaurant, and need to jet into Towson for a good bagel. This year, 4 new commercial establishments will bring these yearned for amenities much closer to Homewood, alleviating the stress on Uber bills, but probably adding up some charges at these fantastic new places that are sure to lure residents and students alike. Here are the 4 new places opening in Charles Village.

1. CVS

Now there's no need to go into the (slightly creepy) Rite Aid in the basement of those apartment buildings. Sure, it did the job, but the pristine convenience and comfort of a CVS right on St. Paul's just sounds that much better.

2. An Artifact Coffee-esque Cafe and Bookshop

Spike Gjerde, the owner of Woodberry Kitchen, Parts & Labor and Artifact Coffee, is opening a second cafe in the same retail space which will house the CVS. As charmingly grungy as Carma's is, it'll be nice to have a second local coffee shop to choose from when you're just not feeling corporate Starbucks. Plus, there will be a selection of books, as Gjerde is teaming up with the owner of The Ivy Bookshop.

3. PekoPeko Ramen

We all know college students love ramen. This place, owned by a JHU alum, is set to open in August.

4. Towson Hot Bagel

CharMar will do the trick if you're really, really feening for a bagel. But if you're really craving a good bagel with gourmet cream cheese flavors, Towson Hot Bagel's arrival in late 2016 will surely make you happy.

5. Honeygrow

This one I'm most excited about. This healthy fast-food option is particularly enticing. Offering smoothies, salads and yogurt, this spot is an overdue necessity. Honeygrow will open in August.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
