Lately, it seems as everyone’s a nerd. Maybe it’s just that after high school everyone worth knowing is up to their ears in geeky passion because living any other way is a little sad. Beyond that, though, it seems that high school geek culture – the culture of D&D, Lord of the Rings and sweating [...]

Hearing about plans for a large mixed-use development––including a new grocery and a Baltimore’s first Lowe’s –– in Remington and South Charles Village, it comes to mind.
