Little bottles part of a larger problem
The ABC store at 25th and Venable Streets, rumored to be the most profitable in the state, this year became the only ABC store in the state that does not sell minis (singles, airplane bottles) due to community pressure. Working with Delegate Jennifer McClellan and the ABC Board, the Union Hill Civic Association worked to make this happen to combat trash and vagrancy along the 25th Street and Venable Street corridors.

Keep your eyes open for suspicious behavior
A reader writes in with some bad news:
My house was broken into during mid-day on Thursday. They leaped over my fence, kicked in my back door despite being face to face with two pit bulls. They found the dog food and dumped it on the back porch to try and distract my dogs. They then spent quiet a bit of time in my home rummaging. They stole electronics, DVD’s, digital, film and video cameras, as well as videos of my children from birth. They stole piggy banks and also quiet a bit of food…non-perishables as well as 2 lbs of frozen meat, 18 eggs and a carton of OJ.
