Mission BBQ is opening a second location in Perry Hall. The expansion into Baltimore County comes little more than a year after the first Mission BBQ opened in Glen Burnie. The Perry Hall location will open to the public on Nov. 16, with all proceeds being donated to the Wounded Warrior Project. The restaurant will have its official grand opening on Nov. 19, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a live performance of the National Anthem. The restaurant is located at The Festival at Perry Hall, 4132 East Joppa Road.

Many Special Olympians competing in the national games this month in Lincoln, Neb., will have one less worry while they are running, jumping or playing ball: Their shoelaces will never come untied. A Glen Burnie entrepreneur is donating 3,000 pairs of Lock Laces, a shoe-lacing system that features elastic laces combined with a spring-activated locking device. Eric Jackson, 41, made the first pair for himself so he would not trip over loose laces while jogging. He soon had requests from friends and family and the basis for his own business.

On busy Baltimore-Annapolis Boulevard in Glen Burnie, where cars usually zip past signs for discount shrimp and oil changes, drivers are slowing down. What has transfixed them is the comeback of an old friend -- a small, plywood church with stained-glass windows and a steeple that stands again on its island in a little pond. In front is a sign: "Merry Christmas, Anne Arundel County, From the Gunther family." Glen Burnie's little church at the duck pond has returned, after more than a decade of decay and neglect.

When Nikki Green walked into the district courthouse in Glen Burnie on a recent afternoon, she had no idea how to begin her quest to unravel a dispute over a car payment. But after sitting with an attorney designated to help people who want to tackle claims on their own, she learned what papers to file and where and when to do it, and received a briefing on court deadlines and procedures. The cost: nothing. "I knew what I wanted to do, and I didn't know how to do it," said Green, a Severna Park nurse.
