Remington March 2013

Homicide on Fox Street

March 18, 2013. To prove once again that Remington exists within Baltimore, we had our first homicide this year.  At 10 o'clock this morning, an argument in the 2700 block of Fox Street ended up with gunfire and one death.  There is currently no known motive.

The 25th Street Still Not Developed

March 21, 2013.  In shocking news today, a dispute between the owner and the developer of the 11-acre Anderson Automotive lot has once again dimmed the possibility of a Wal-mart in Remington. OK, not shocking, just kidding. Yesterday, the property owner, (Twenty Fifth Street, LLC which is controlled by Bruce Mortimer of Anderson) moved to declare that it legally ended sale agreements with the developer (WV Baltimore-24/Sisson LLC led by Rick Walker) in October 2012. You really can't tell the players without a scorecard in this debacle.

According to the suit, the developer failed to produce a purchase agreement with Wal-mart by the September 2012 deadline, and started exploring other options to market the property. Mortimer said in an interview that "it doesn't mean the development won't happen," but he isn't proceeding without the resolving the issue.

Walker stated his company was "extremely disappointed" because they had spent more than a year getting and defending zonal approvals.  He feels that Mortimer "is trying to pull the rug out from under [the project]".
