Panagiota E. Diakoulas, a seamstress and former owner with her husband of several East Baltimore dry cleaning and tailoring establishments, died of respiratory failure Thursday at Greater Baltimore Medical Center. She was 81 and lived in Perry Hall. Born Panagiota Sinani in Lindos, Greece, she was raised in Ethiopia where her father, a bridge builder, was working. She attended local schools and learned her craft from a French clothes designer. In 1943, she was married to Emmanuel Diakoulas, a tailor who went to New York City in 1947 to work for Grue Brothers Tailoring Co. Two years later, the couple reunited in Baltimore and later opened E & P Dry Cleaning and Tailoring on Eastern Avenue.

If you know Canton at all, the Hudson Street Stackhouse is easy to find. It's across the street from the Safeway, in the shadow of a tall industrial structure that looks like a shot tower. The Hudson Street Cafe used to be here; Dominic DeSantis reopened the building this past summer after a lengthy renovation, and he's done a good job. It seems as if he wanted the Stackhouse to be more of a neighborhood joint than a destination restaurant. There are nods to Canton's industrial past - some reclaimed furnishings, the ugly-beautiful Frankenstein floor uncovered during renovations and an impressive riveted-steel beer-tap island designed by David Hess.

An administrative police trial board began hearing testimony yesterday on the actions of a county patrol officer accused of negligence and misconduct in throwing away potential evidence in a homicide investigation. Officer Patrick Donnelly had been dispatched on July 1 to an Annapolis research company whose manager turned over what police believed were fragments of a bullet that went through the business's bay door on Hudson Street -- across the street from the scene of a homicide. Internal affairs investigators say that Donnelly, without consulting his supervisors, threw the fragments out of the window of his patrol car. They also say he did not file a report about the fragments -- but that he had collected them was discovered by investigators a day later when the company manager told detectives he had given the fragments to a patrol officer.

ORDINARILY this column does not offer marital advice. Today is an exception. If you want to test your marriage, try driving into New York City through the Holland Tunnel with your mate as navigator. This has been a rite of spring my wife and I have attempted for the past four or five years. The experience has been well ... dramatic. We get lost, end up surrounded by kamikaze cabs, killer trucks and hordes of aggressive pedestrians. There is shouting in the front seat and, in the back seat, the kids get quiet.

Since Buddy's Late Night in Annapolis began College Night on Thursdays last fall, admitting 18-year-olds to the club, the county police Southern District station has been flooded with complaints of underage drinking outside the building.Calls to the club became so routine, officers said, that they parked their patrol cars and stayed.Last month, the department came up with its own plan: "Kiddie Night," a sting operation that has led to more than 150 arrests for everything from open alcohol container violations to drug possession near the Hudson Street nightclub.
