That sucks. No matter what you have, alarm/ big dog/ rabid fans guarding against Squeelers zealots, nothing justifies a break in there or elsewhere, period. Shame it had to happen to someone who has been such a decent member of the community. I hope they catch that nut.   more ›

The Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company will celebrate its 100th Anniversary with a parade down Main Street Saturday morning.

Unfortunately I live on a street where the only way out is Main Street. And like I said, I very rarely drive up towards the fire house. And it's pretty sad I know of every yard sale in the area, but not when…   more ›

First Statewide Gun Turn-in Nets 250 Firearms

Some Maryland jurisdictions were surprised by the large number of guns turned over to police.

Marylanders by the dozens turned over unwanted firearms to police in the first statewide "Gun Turn-In Day," sponsored by Attorney General Doug Gansler.

correct Frank, I have seen many firearms of historical value not just the money, Throwing away our Liberty for a few cents. I have seen some very rare pieces that go for thousands $$$ and criminals would not have no interest in. We were once Home of the brave and free, Now now we are the home of misguided brainwashed robots that government controls and not the people.   more ›

The unit will patrol the infield at Pimlico Race Course during Preakness on Saturday.
