Airlines Collect Record Baggage Fees, Some Passengers Increasingly OK with them

Potentially more fees in store at BWI, Reagan National and Dulles airports for summer travel.

In 2012, airlines raked in more than $6 billion in baggage and change fees, solely accounting for a 3.7 percent profit margin, according to WTOP.    The practice of collecting additional fees for the once-free baggage began in 2008, when prices for jet fuel rose nearly 50 percent as oil hit an all-time high. Since then, the fees have increased and are typically in the range of $25 for  the first checked bag and $35 for the second. These baggage fees added $3.5 billion to airline coffers in 2012, 3.8 percent more than in 2011. While some commercials make light of the anger and frustration caused by the additional fees, a J.D. Power & Associates survey cited by the Los Angeles Times shows that a greater percentage of passengers who pay to …

Tonino’s Closes Its Doors

Community wonders why longtime Main Street business closed its doors.

During lunchtime at Tonino’s on Thursday, there was no smell of freshly baked pizza or pasta, no chatter of locals on their lunch breaks. A sign taped inside the entrance in the back of the building simply read “Sorry Closed.” The longtime Main Street restaurant had quietly closed its doors. A block south on Main Street, two workers were fixing up Memphis on Main Street, which closed after a two-alarm fire on Sept. 16, 2011. They deferred comments to Jesse Issa, who owns Tonino’s and Memphis on Main Street, and was not available Thursday. Local residents reacted to the news with mixed reviews. Some said they blame the economy, others didn't like the food and some were truly upset. "This breaks my heart [because] in my opinion, there is …

Yea I don't understand how people can love a cookie cutter place like that. I know the workers and owners of Tonino's knew most of the customers by name or at least by face. Plus honestly I think people like J&P because it was cheaper.   more ›

Main Street Getting Monthly Cleanup

Volunteers from Reisterstown’s Main Street Committee started a monthly Main Street cleanup in May as part of its effort to beautify and revitalize Reisterstown’s historic district.

Reisterstown’s Main Street Committee recently kicked off a monthly effort to clean up the area. On Saturday, May 4, about 40 volunteers filled more than an entire dumpster with trash. “We expected at least 20-25 people and we ended up getting 40-45, so that was awesome,” said Kinsey Gill. She is a member of the Clean, Safe, and Green subcommittee, one of five groups in the Main Street Committee. The volunteers spent three hours picking up trash and pulling weeds on Main Street from Chartley Drive to Butler Road. Materials for the cleanup effort were donated by Furguson Enterprises, HD Supply, Northeastern Supply and Live Green Landscape Associates. The effort will continue on every first Saturday through September, and Gill hopes to …
