Dundalk

Construction has begun on more than 100 housing units for senior citizens in Dundalk. Baltimore County officials gathered this week for a ground breaking for the Greens at Logan Field, a 102-unit development being built on the site of Baltimore's first municipal airfield after World War I. The Enterprise Homes development, scheduled for completion in 2014, is for senior citizens who earn 60 percent or less of the area median income. The $15.2 million project is set to include mostly one-bedroom apartments, plus 18 two-bedroom units.

Even as the dining room of Ross' Crab House filled up with smoke, Cindy Reidnauer kept a clear head. Reidnauer oversaw the evacuation Sunday night of six staff members and 15 customers — including a senior citizen confined to a wheelchair — after a two-alarm fire destroyed the popular Dundalk seafood restaurant. "I yelled, 'Everybody out,'" said Reidnauer, who manages the crab house at 1109 North Point Road. "We had an elderly woman who can't walk and some of our customers pulled together to carry her out. I'm just so grateful that everyone got out safely.
