Search ArticlesStreeter: Thank God I live in Maryland
Since I moved back to my native Maryland six years ago, I canât tell you how many times Iâve read panicked news stories and social media posts about the terrible things happening in other states. Not being able to get abortion care for any reason, even if the mother is about to die. The dismantling of voting rights. The efforts to legislate the trans community out of existence. And all I keep thinking is âThank God I live here.â Maryland is traditionally called the Old Line State.
T. Rowe Price joins national trend away from ‘hot desking’
T. Rowe Price opened a sleek headquarters for 2,000 employees last year at Harbor Point. A year in, it’s rearranging the furniture. About half of the workspace had been dedicated to “hot desking” — flexible areas that one employee could work at one day and another employee the next — and half to permanent desks. But, after feedback from employees, many of those flex spaces were converted in June into assigned seats, mirroring a national trend.
Kyle Goon: Samuel Basallo will be an All-Star in 2027. I guarantee it.
Just when Orioles fans needed a good jolt to stir them from their ambivalence, Samuel Basallo‚Äôs home runs against the Royals this weekend struck Camden Yards like a thunderclap. There is no Baltimore slugger ‚ÄĒ not even Pete Alonso ‚ÄĒ who makes home run hitting look easier than the 21-year-old catcher. From his stocky 6-foot-4 frame and trunk-like arms to his quick hands that can help him square up even out-of-zone pitches, Basallo is built for crushing baseballs.
Follow the smoke to these 5 Baltimore-area pit beef sandwich spots
Maryland has crabs, corn, tomatoes and snowballs. But, if the state had an official sandwich, pit beef would have a strong case. The Baltimore-area staple starts with top round, cooked hot and fast over charcoal or wood, then sliced thin and stacked on a roll. The outside is charred, while the center usually stays rare to medium rare. From there, it can go classic with raw onions and horseradish, saucy with barbecue sauce or loaded with tiger sauce, a creamy horseradish-based sauce with some bite.
Coming soon? Not much. Baltimore-area development pipeline is drying up
Every few weeks, a board of architects is supposed to review major development projects under consideration in Baltimore. They review renderings for big shiny towers. They critique landscaping. They suggest tweaks to layouts of parking lots and question shadows that tall buildings might cast. Lately, this city panel has had a pretty easy job: There’s not much to review.

Maryland will slash mental health and addiction services amid budget cuts
Though they remain in high demand, state-funded services that prevent overdoses and mental health crises may be cut as Maryland contends with a budget crunch. Advocates say this puts some programs at risks that have been helpful in preventing behavioral health emergencies, including drug-related deaths, a declining but profound problem for the state.
Amar Mukunda ousted the Senate majority leader. Now he wants to reform Annapolis.
Amar Mukunda said he tapped into a “deep well of dissatisfaction” during his campaign against one of Maryland’s most powerful lawmakers. “People fundamentally do not understand how frustrated the vast majority of Marylanders are, and probably the vast majority of Americans are, with the lack of progress and action from government,” said Mukunda, an Army Reserve combat engineer and former assistant director of the violence intervention group Roca.
Orioles draft Day 2: Here are all the players they added Sunday
Since Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias took over in 2019, he has drafted eight players in the fifth round or later who have gone on to play in the major leagues, though only two have done so with Baltimore. Those two players came from Elias’ first draft with the organization in 2019, when the Orioles selected catcher Maverick Handley in the sixth and right-handed pitcher Kade Strowd in the 12th.
Nationals draft Day 2: Here are all the players they added Sunday
The first draft for the Nationals under the new leadership of president of baseball operations Paul Toboni has come to a close. As slot values declined with each successive pick, making it increasingly difficult to ensure a high school prospect will agree to a contract rather than going to college, the Nationals opted to draft mostly from the collegiate talent pool. The next step is to sign the picks. Washington has the 14th-largest bonus pool at $12,278,300.
