After every shooting, flood and tornado, the global pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, there has been an echo of Mayor Gavin Buckley’s response to the worst day of my life. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

When you're done cleaning up later today, it'll be time to map out your Annapolis holiday sprint. Four weeks of fun begin this weekend. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

A good coffee shop is about good coffee and tea, nice noshes to go along with them and something equally essential but a bit harder to define — a functional third space beyond home and office. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

A single disconnection among miles of wiring prompted the Dali to lose power and, eventually, knock down the Key Bridge on March 26, 2024. “It’s like a needle in a haystack,” Chair Jennifer Homendy said of locating that wire. www.thebanner.com/community/tr...

I met Dan Langenkamp just weeks after I moved to MoCo, when his wife Sarah was struck and killed on her bike by a truck driver. Their love story and Dan’s story of advocacy is devastating and inspiring, and I’m grateful for the trust he’s given me these past years. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

NEW | The rebuilt Key Bridge is now expected to cost between $4.3 billion and $5.2 billion and open by 2030. In the weeks after the collapse, the state had pegged the estimate at ~$1.8 billion with a 2028 completion date. w/ @leeosanderlin.bsky.social: www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

With the next mayor focused on a customer service ethic at City Hall, the job of visionary could be up for grabs. Rob Savidge is a good bet. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

If anyone knows what make Jane Austen’s world tick, it’s Emma Whipday. Her adaptation of the 19th-century author’s most famous work debuts Friday for a month long run at Compass Rose Theater in Annapolis. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

Six Flags America's closure could just be the first of many. Executives recently said Six Flags plans to shrink its portfolio and divest from "underperforming parks."

Turns out the only thing the party of opposition needed was a tone-deaf president to confirm just about everything they’ve been saying. The man in the White House certainly obliged. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

“Public schools thrive when the community is engaged. But there’s a huge impact on the whole community when schools are not as strong as they could be.” www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

There’s a lot of Annapolis in Rodney Barnes. And plenty of the California-based comic book author appears in “Crownsville,” a supernatural thriller based on the history of the Jim Crow hospital outside the city where he grew up. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

Nowhere will the pain of ending Obamacare tax credits sting like it will in Andy Harris’ backyard. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

The result of a self-assured, 22 month campaign is an election that feels like a foregone conclusion, and has for months. How did Annapolis get here? www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

When coaster enthusiasts stream out of Six Flags America on Sunday evening, they won’t be able to go back. The park is shuttering as Six Flags continues to seek a buyer for its 523-acre tract. www.thebanner.com/economy/six-...

Exclusive from me: @raskin.house.gov has issued a letter signed by more than 60 Congress members demanding Trump provide answers on the legality of the ballroom construction. The demolition is being led by a Silver Spring company: www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

You could catch a folk legend or head to the opera. You could listen to the Naval Academy choir or see some transformational art. There's always something fun to do in Annapolis. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

The Mary Lynn, which hauled political bigwigs and captains of industry around the Port of Baltimore for almost 40 years, is sitting aground in an Eastern Shore boat yard waiting for the outcome of a government surplus auction. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Wtf? Why is the ghost of Harlan Sanders at the world series?

Noah Hillman faced Thurgood Marshall in a Baltimore courtroom almost 90 years ago, defending one of Maryland's most notorious racists. Now his name will move over to make room for Marshall's client, Walter Mills. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

A big freaking deal, Annapolis!

If you really want to go to the Army-Navy game this year, or if you want front row seats on the 30-yard line for a game at Navy Marine Crops Memorial Stadium, you can snag them at resale sites. Buyer beware. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

Competition for biotech investment and jobs is changing in the wake of President Donald Trump's destruction of federal support, as entrepreneurs and investors scramble for new resources to grow medical science, biopharma and medtech. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Virtually all of the bay’s shoreline is privately owned, which means many of these taxpayer-funded waterfront improvements go to properties that limit public access. Can Maryland balance what’s best for the bay with the public’s desire to enjoy it? www.thebanner.com/community/cl...

I had such an incredible time (🥁) visiting the Renaissance Festival and talking with vendors there for this story. The Maryland Renn Fest is a true institution, and one of the most popular festivals like it in the country. It's also, as I found out, one of the most desirable for vendors.

Sprinkled through the hour-long Annapolis Pride Parade, some participants held political messages like “Yaz Queen. No Kings” which added a piquant touch to the colorful and celebratory event.

This election season, I’ve been exploring issues Annapolis voters should consider. With mail-in voting two weeks away, I asked people with firsthand perspectives on the job — what makes a good mayor? www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

They’re running 50 years after the first women were admitted to Annapolis and at a time when President Donald Trump's administration is denigrating the role of women in the military. It’s not only a generational shift. It feels like a response. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Last week, the Kaye family sold its two 74-foot schooners in Annapolis to 59º North Sailing, a rare change in a rarefied field. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

In Maryland’s largest city, Edgar Allan Poe is the stuff of stage productions and street festivals, wreath layings and end zone dances. He is the rubber duck “Edgar Mallard Poe.” Is all this Poe-ishness real, or just another thing to sell Baltimore? www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Just like men and women in military uniform, federal civil servants take an oath. Just like them, they promise to support and defend the Constitution. How did we forget that? www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

The longtime lore of the show has been that buyers tend to follow the boat show circuit, window-shopping for an expensive luxury. Because it is one of the last in-water shows on the East Coast, closing the deal is a big feature of the four October days at City Dock. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

The messenger, whoever he or she or they may be, matters less than the medium. AI-generated images have arrived in Maryland, and there’s no going back. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Bodies in concrete. Planes beneath the spans. It can’t stand straight in a breeze. And now, a new Bay Bridge legend is born. It’s slipping! No matter the facts, a good story about the bridge takes on a life of its own. Stories with facts? Even better. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Are Democrats on the patriot road, making a shutdown a fight to stop President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional power grab, or are they in the driveway selling affordability? It's more than the economy, stupid. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

The indefensible actions of a shooter unbalanced by Charlie Kirk’s vitriol — if that’s what this was — are not justification to threaten retribution. Both are symptoms of our insanity. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...
