MARYLAND — This week saw plenty of news about businesses and community happenings, so let's get started!

A Cajun seafood restaurant just opened in Montgomery County. The eatery is known for its seafood boils.

With spring almost here, Marylanders are gearing up for the Preakness Stakes. InfieldFest recently announced its lineup of popular musicians who will perform on the day of the Baltimore horse race.
