That's a smart recommendation for the Senator Theatre - have the city foreclose, pay off the debt, then find new management to run it as both a first-run cinema and entertainment complex. The ownership of the Charles Theatre could rotate films through the place. A small theater could be added. They could have "college porn night" now and then. There are all kinds of possibilities.
This will make a great pitch - a real convincer - for the University of Maryland admissions office as it sets out to recruit leading students from all over the world: Come to College Park, we show hard-core porn here!
The Orioles' potential for failure has been greatly exaggerated. Something magic is going to happen. This isn't based on serious analysis. It's just a feeling, based on Nick Markakis having hair this year.

Even lifelong Baltimoreans suffer from Harford Road-Belair Road Confusion. HRBRC is a common malady. You believe something - a store, bakery, barroom, driving academy - is on one, and it turns out to be on the other. It happens a lot. It happens to the best of us. It's a Baltimore thing.

Rep. Elijah Cummings' exchange with former AIG chief Hank Greenberg is one for the ages - or, at least, the next Michael Moore film. Cummings: "Do you accept any responsibility at all for the events leading up to [the largest U.S. corporate failure in history]?" Greenberg: "No, I don't. Nothing to do with me whatever." Arrogance is bliss.
