Howard Bank Robbery

June 12, 2019.  Usually, I don't include crime or obituaries on my blog because I would be typing night and day.  However, the crew that held-up Howard Bank yesterday are just as notorious as the Beltway Snipers that appeared in our neighborhood in 2002.The FBI Baltimore Violent Crimes Task Force is searching for four bank robbers who they have named “The Mod Squad.” The FBI is so imaginative.

Howard Bank, a newcomer to the neighborhood, got a taste of City life when a couple of disguised youngsters entered the bank, approached the teller and presented a demand note. Another member of the crew was waiting outside the lobby as a lookout. Once the money was received from the teller, the crew fled in separate vehicles. Their disguises and cars varied with each robbery, so far totaling thirteen in the metropolitan area.

Howard Bank is one of the sponsors of the annual Remfest. Welcome to Remington!

Community Picnic

June 22, 2019.  Once again, the GRIA's annual community picnic appeared at the Sisson Street Park. This year a soap making table was hosted by Mount Royal Soap, Good Doggie Daycare set up a dog agility course, and there was a raffle with awesome prizes including gift cards to R House and Fringe, dog goodie basket from Good Doggie Daycare, Beyond Video totes, and some community freebies, such the never-ending supply of recycling bins.  Dragging those things home is a real challenge.
