As cases spike in Maryland, six jurisdictions are considering closing indoor service in restaurants and bars, among other actions.
A replica of Guinness’ Dublin brewery is coming to Baltimore County later this year.
Baltimore County authorities are scrambling to respond to a freight train that derailed shortly after 2 p.m. in Rosedale, Md. and was followed by reports of an explosion.
The first day of the new year at Perry Hall High School in Baltimore County, Md. was upended when a 17-year-old student was shot in the middle of the cafeteria, leaving him in critical condition.
Former Editor-in-Chief Ryan Avent writes a weekly column about neighborhood and development issues. Sometimes I imagine that the vicious territoriality residents of this or that place occasionally display when comparing their home enclave to another is a sign of something positive, a rootedness and sense of belonging, maybe, to the neighborhood or city or state one calls home. If that’s the case, then residents of the cities of Baltimore and Washington must be some rooted…
Colossal Meltdown for GW Any time you blow a 20 point second half lead, it makes for a particularly ugly loss. GW’s 74-65 loss to USC in the John Wooden Classic on Saturday qualifies as such. This one was just plain nasty. Two minutes into the second half, GW held a commanding 36-16 lead against their counterparts from USC. Up until that point, the Colonials had played sparkling defense, protecting the basket while forcing the…
As its name suggests, Sugarloaf Mountain in Maryland’s western Montgomery County is not much larger than a loaf of sugar. Even the condemned Sisyphus wouldn’t have minded rolling his boulder up Sugarloaf’s measly 1,282 feet over and over again. But the hill’s easy hikes are no longer the only draw that brings people out to the vicinity of Comus, Md.

We’d like to think that someday their…

And, to be honest, today’s stories don’t really represent a change from that precedent. But we have good news! That’s right: Geraldo is coming to town to save us all. Now admittedly, this DCist’s Powerbook wasn’t able to coax any sound out of Fox 5’s new, impossibly Flash-heavy website, so it’s difficult to know the exact planks of…
Despite the fact that the humidity is supposed to decrease this weekend, it’s still going to be a hot one in D.C. And it’s in this hot weather that we get hit with a bad case of nostalgia for our youth, which for this DCist was spent in Baltimore (okay, Baltimore County). One of the greatest joys for us in summer was cracking steamed crabs — something you can find fairly easily in the general…
