“Ride The Ducks” amphibious sightseeing rides ceased in Baltimore as of September, 8 2009 so the company that operates the tours can concentrate its investments in other cities.  A company spokesman said there wasn’t enough potential revenue in Baltimore to warrant investing money to upgrade the fleet.
The company had six year-round employees and 23 seasonal employees in Baltimore. They were notified on the 8th about the decision to cease operations and will receive an average week’s pay, as well as severance.

Baltimore moved a step closer to becoming one of the first cities in the nation to ban plastic bags at grocery stores and retail chains after the proposal made it through a critical City Council committee vote.
Intended to keep the hard-to-degrade sacks from winding up in waterways or caught on tree branches, the proposal would require large stores to bag groceries in paper or reusable bags only.

I bought groceries at a grocery store here in Salem this week and brought canvas bags with me. I gave my bags to the cashier, and she placed them in the bagging area. The bagger looked at the canvas bags and then started putting the groceries in a plastic bag. Before I could say something, the cashier told the bagger that the canvas bags should be used instead of plastic The bagger stood with his mouth open and asked several times if I was serious about using the canvas bags. Finally, he removed the groceries from the plastic bag and filled the canvas bags while shaking his head the entire time.

Hoping to curb the increase in the number of young people who smoke small, inexpensive cigars, Baltimore plans to bar shops from the common practice of breaking open packages to sell them individually.
Health officials are alarmed by the growing popularity, especially among black urban teenagers and young adults, of cigarillos, “little cigars†that are often sweetly flavored and filtered. One recent survey of 18- to 24-year-olds in Baltimore found that 24 percent had smoked them within the previous 30 days.
The city has put the proposal out for public comment until July 1 and expects to impose the ban, possibly with revisions, soon after.

Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley is denouncing the approval of a $6.8 billion sale that gives a United Arab Emirates company control over operations at six major American ports, including Baltimore’s.
Read (AP via WTOP)
The article states that the port locations are in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. Why are we letting the UAE or any foreign country control port operations in the United States?

Some Baltimore streets are getting darker at night because thieves are stealing 30-foot light poles, presumably to sell as scrap metal. About 130 aluminum light poles have disappeared in the last several weeks.

How do you steal a 30-foot light pole? I remember reading in The Corner that people would break into houses, steal the plumbing, and sell the plumbing for scrap metal.
