  • "Memorial Day Weekend News: Safety Concerns, Naval Grad, Henneman Tribute in Baltimore"

    "Memorial Day Weekend News: Safety Concerns, Naval Grad, Henneman Tribute in Baltimore"
    May 24 2025
    Hello Baltimore, this is Morgan Riley with your weekend news update for Saturday, May 24, 2025.

    Word on the streets of Baltimore is we're heading into Memorial Day weekend with some concerns about safety. City officials are urging caution as residents fear a repeat of last year's holiday violence. The cool, breezy weather might keep some indoors, but police presence has been increased throughout the city's popular gathering spots.

    In Brooklyn Park, Anne Arundel County police are investigating a suspicious death after a body was discovered with visible trauma. Details remain limited as detectives work the scene, but this marks another troubling incident in what had been a promising trend for the city. Just weeks ago, April recorded only five homicides in Baltimore – the fewest in a single month in recent memory.

    Meanwhile, the Mitchell Courthouse closed unexpectedly yesterday due to water issues, forcing rescheduling of Friday proceedings. Court officials haven't announced if this will impact operations following the holiday weekend.

    In Annapolis, 1,049 graduates became commissioned officers at this week's U.S. Naval Academy Graduation Ceremony. This remarkable achievement represents years of dedication from these young service members preparing to defend our nation.

    On a somber note, Baltimore lost one of its treasured voices in sports journalism. Jim Henneman, the longtime Orioles official scorer and beloved sportswriter, passed away at age 89. Henneman's knowledge of baseball and dedication to Baltimore sports made him an institution in our city for decades.

    Looking ahead to community events, Baltimore's flagship Artscape festival returns this weekend with exciting changes including a new date, location, and features. It's the perfect opportunity to support local artists while enjoying the holiday weekend.

    The weather for Memorial Day weekend starts cool and breezy with temperatures around 51 degrees today, warming to 75 on Sunday and 74 on Monday – ideal conditions for outdoor gatherings and remembrance ceremonies.

    The Baltimore Vacants Reinvestment Council also met this week, continuing their work on addressing vacant properties while ensuring equity and opportunity in all related sectors. Their efforts remain crucial to neighborhood revitalization across the city.

  • Homicides Decline in Baltimore, But Vigilance Remains Key to Lasting Safety

    Homicides Decline in Baltimore, But Vigilance Remains Key to Lasting Safety
    May 23 2025
    Word on the streets of Baltimore: It’s Friday, May 23. I’m Morgan Riley, bringing you your essential Baltimore news update as we head into Memorial Day weekend.

    Tonight, we’re shining a light on a remarkable trend—April saw Baltimore record its fewest monthly homicides in years, just five incidents reported, signaling hope for safer neighborhoods and the tireless work of community organizations pressing for change. It’s a step worth noting, but our city knows well that lasting safety means continued vigilance, compassionate policing, and neighbors looking out for one another.

    And on the move—if you haven’t done it yet, the deadline to upgrade to a REAL ID-compliant Maryland driver’s license is fast approaching, set for May 7. Marylanders will need the new credential to board domestic flights or enter federal buildings, so swing by the MVA if you haven’t checked this off your list.

    Turning to local color, the countdown is on for one of Southwest Baltimore’s gems—SOWEBOFEST returns to historic Hollins Market this Sunday, May 25. With over 80 local vendors, live music, and family activities, this annual festival is one of those pure Baltimore experiences that blend our rich tradition with today’s creative spirit. In a city known for folks like Billie Holiday and John Waters, SOWEBOFEST brings the same sense of celebration and belonging to a new generation.

    For a taste of culinary history, fans of old-school Baltimore food traditions won’t want to miss Kara Mae Harris’s talk at Homewood Museum next Thursday evening, exploring the roots of our unique local dishes. And for music lovers, “Music Under the Dome: David Bowie” at the Maryland Science Center on May 30 will take you on a cosmic journey, blending Bowie’s sound with a stunning planetarium show—an event as imaginative as the city itself.

    Looking for something inspiring? I had the pleasure to meet Jerome, a baker at Lexington Market. After years of setbacks, Jerome launched his own stall featuring marble pound cake and classic Berger cookies. His story is classic Baltimore—grit, hope, and a refusal to quit. He says, “Every day here is about second chances. The city keeps moving, and so do I.” If you stop by, be sure to support Jerome and the many small business owners shaping our city’s future one recipe at a time.

    Weather-wise, we’re seeing mild temperatures all weekend—highs in the mid-70s, cloud cover with a chance of showers on Sunday. A good excuse to grab an umbrella and stroll through our neighborhoods, maybe catch a festival or two.

    Baltimore remains a patchwork of challenge and promise, where resilience echoes through its markets, music, and unwavering community spirit. As Memorial Day approaches, let’s honor both our past and the possibilities ahead.

  • "Storms, Shakeups, and Resilience: Uncovering Baltimore's Enduring Spirit"

    "Storms, Shakeups, and Resilience: Uncovering Baltimore's Enduring Spirit"
    May 22 2025
    Good morning Baltimore, I’m Morgan Riley, bringing you the word on the streets of Baltimore. Here are the stories shaping our city today.

    Our top story: severe storms swept through the Baltimore area last Friday, toppling trees and leaving thousands without power. Emergency services responded swiftly to downed lines and blocked roads. Utility crews are still working to restore all service, especially in pockets of Northwest Baltimore. If you’re still experiencing issues, officials urge you to contact your provider directly.

    Turning to local government, an independent audit found that Maryland’s medical examiner's office misclassified dozens of deaths involving police restraint. State leaders say this report is a first-of-its-kind, prompting renewed calls for transparency and accountability. With Baltimore’s commitment to justice, neighbors across our city are demanding swift action and policy changes to restore trust.

    In sports, the Baltimore Orioles made a major shakeup, relieving manager Brandon Hyde of his duties after a slow start to the 2025 season. Fans are voicing a mix of frustration and hope for a turnaround as the team looks to the future. Don’t forget, you can still catch every pitch right here on local radio, keeping the Camden Yards magic alive.

    On a more somber note, the Baltimore Fire Department is mourning the loss of Charles Mudra, who suffered a fatal medical emergency during training. Tributes have poured in from fellow firefighters and the community, remembering Charles for his commitment and service.

    Now, on a lighter note, let’s spotlight a local tradition. This week, all eyes turned to Pimlico as the 150th running of the Preakness Stakes marked not just another race, but the final one at this historic racecourse in its current form. For generations, families gathered under those iconic grandstands—think of it as Baltimore’s own Kentucky Derby, with crab cakes and Black-Eyed Susans. As Pimlico prepares for renovations, longtime fans and newcomers alike are sharing memories, pictures, and hopes for the next chapter in Baltimore’s racing history.

    Looking at the weather, we’ll see scattered showers today with highs in the upper 60s, clearing just in time for the weekend. Community events ahead include the annual Charles Street Promenade this Saturday—expect local vendors, music, and family fun stretching from Mount Vernon to North Avenue.

    As we close, I’m reminded how Baltimore’s resilience—seen after storms, in calls for justice, and at beloved local events—continues to define us. In a city rich with history and full of new beginnings, there’s always more to the story.
