TRANSCRIPT:
Good morning, it’s Thursday, April 14th, 2022 and THIS is your Eye On Annapolis Daily News Brief.
I am amazed at the little things that make me happy! A new screen protector on my phone..no more cracks! And I am getting my car detailed today…waiting on Dave from Detail Dave’s Mobile Detailing to come. He came highly recommended, so I will let you know tomorrow! OK let’s get into the news, shall we?
This blows my mind. The Anne Arundel County Police responded to Worth A Shot–a firearms dealer in Millersville for an intrusion alarm in the middle of the night. They arrived to find a car crashed through the window and three suspects attempting to steal guns from the display cases. They detained one, two fled and they quickly found them. The car was stolen a few hours earlier in an armed carjacking in another jurisdiction and one of the suspects who fled had a loaded handgun. All were arrested without incident which is very fortunate. And as to what blows my mind, the three were teenagers…a 15-year-old had the gun, and two sixteen-year-olds.
The saga is done! The final appeal has been ruled upon and the latest iteration of legislative maps will stand. The Maryland Court of Appeals ruled yesterday and said the maps did not violate the State constitution and ordered that all proceed to the primary elections on July 19th as planned. And if you have a momentary lapse of judgment and want to get into this political mess–the deadline to file to run for office is this Friday, April 15th at 9:00 pm.
Some great news out of the County Schools. For the first time ever, more than 90% of high school seniors graduated in 2021. 90.25% is the number and that marked the third straight year of improvement. And nine out of 13 high schools have rates above 90%. And kudos to the most improved school–looks like Glen Burnie High! Well done all!
Not sure why movie theaters have made the news twice in a month here, but we told you last week that Landmark Cinemas will be taking over the old Bow Tie Cinema at the Harbour Center. And now, it looks like Bow Tie is bailing out of the mall as well. AMC Theatres just bought seven theatres from Bow Tie including the 11-screen Annapolis Mall one. I don’t expect too many changes, but the new branding should take place next weekend–the 22-24th. And unfortunately, if you have a BowTie gift card, you are SOL unless you go to one of the remaining Bow Tie theatres.
If you are a coffee lover and are not from Pittsburgh–listen up. Today, Wawa is celebrating its 58th anniversary and is giving away free coffee all day long. No restrictions other than one per customer. Small, medium, large..it’s all yours. They said they expect to give away 2 million cups of coffee in their 690 stores—jeez that is 2900 cups per store in one day! WOW. And all you Yinzers… I don’t see Sheetz doing this!
And, that’s all I got! Podcast stuff– dropped a bonus episode with Todd Snider–a lot of fun and he clued me in on the pecking order in the music industry — said it was very mob-like and identified the don and the consigliere– check that out it was a lot of fun. I should also have another one this week with Oliver Wood from The Wood Brothers! Up this weekend on the Local Business Spotlight– Junior League of Annapolis and then Unity Gardens on deck!
And that’s a wrap for today. But first, a quick thank you to the sponsors for today’s Daily News Brief– Alpha Engineering, Solar Energy Services, the Roof Guy Annapolis, and the Kristi Neidhardt Team of Northrop Realty, a Long and Foster Company.
It is Thursday so we have Trevor from Annapolis Makerspace with your Maker Minutes. And of course, George from DCMDVA Weather is here with your locally forecast weather. All of that gets underway in a bit…so, hang tight!
