Modell: Just Art, for Art’s sake
At 6 p.m. Monday, on the south side of M&T Bank Stadium, something will be missing.
Orioles in playoffs would be good for business; playoff ticket invoices going out
So how much would it mean to businesses in Baltimore if the Orioles make the playoffs?
You couldn’t make this up
A New Jersey woman is suing after being hit in the face two years ago with an errant throw at a Little League baseball game. Honestly. The kid who made the throw was 11 years old. He was warming up a pitcher at the time — in a fenced-in bullpen. Honestly. The woman, Elizabeth Lloyd, […]
A little ‘research’ at Maryland Live!
I didn’t get to check out Opening Night at Maryland Live! because I was putting the paper out, so since I took a vacation day today, I decided to head over. The traffic coming off of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway and entering Arundel Mills wasn’t too bad. The self-parking garage will feel familiar to anyone who […]
Experiencing the Southwest experience
You know how sometimes you know something, intellectually, but then you experience it — and you REALLY know it? That happened to me this past weekend when I flew Southwest from BWI to Dallas. I’ve flown Southwest before many times, but always on non-stops. These two flights had stops in Birmingham, Ala. We didn’t have […]
Full cycle
I’m thinking that one of the ultimate true-isms is that everything comes back around. Dresses are short, then they’re long, then they’re mid-length, and … wait for it … then they’re short again.

That figure […]
Pairing start-ups and mentors
The WSJ has an interesting story about incubator programs like Cincinnati-based Brandery that pair tech start-up founders with marketing mentors from big companies like Procter & Gamble. Would love to hear if that type of thing is happening in Maryland.
Small business (blog) start-up
Welcome to the birth of The Daily Record’s newest blog, Small Biz Buzz. We hear every day, from politicians and businessmen and women, that small business is the real driver of America’s economy. So we decided to ramp up our coverage in The Daily Record and on our website. This blog will be written mainly […]
Grand Prix numbers show promise for future
The phone at the Baltimore Grand Prix has been “ringing off the hook” with interest from new investors and sponsors for next year, the event’s CEO said Thursday, adding that the organizers will be able to pay all their bills even though they didn’t make a profit on the inaugural race. Jay Davidson’s comments came […]
Baltimore commuters get some good news (finally!)
The “Highway to Nowhere,” closed since Sept. 10, reopened this week, to much cheering from those of us who commute into Baltimore from the south and/or west. It seemed that since work started on the Baltimore Grand Prix course (also known at Pratt Street, Light Street, Conway Street and Russell Street) a couple of months […]
