The 2013 festival will be held May 18-19 at Sandy Point State Park.
After some consideration, the operators of the Chesapeake Bay Blues Festival have decided to bring the all-star concert back to Broadneck this year. After last year's concert, the event's organizer Don Hooker said he was considering other venues. But recently, the official festival website was updated with good news: The show will be back at the same venue this year. "It really is the best place in the world for a Blues Festival," Hooker said on the website. The 2013 festival will be held on May 18-19 at Sandy Point State Park.

A local company named Hank’s Corner LLC helped Bloh screen the images onto a shirt. Now, Bloh is preparing nearly 60 of the …

The tower is intended to address poor reception for Cape St. Claire residents.
Are you a Verizon wireless customer in Cape St. Claire with bad cell service? Things are looking up for you. A 130-foot wireless pole is proposed to be erected this year at Broadneck High School to accommodate Verizon Wireless and four additional carriers, according to a plan reviewed by the school board this month. "Verizon Wireless (VZW) is addressing a gap in wireless service coverage and capacity in the Cape St. Claire community. Upon evaluating siting alternatives, VZW has identified the Broadneck High School site as its primary candidate for a cellular site," according to the document. The tower will be built between the athletics field and the practice field near 80-feet tall light posts as a way to diminish the visual impact. The …
