• A judge said no concerts. Why was there live music at CAA Park in Catonsville? (thebanner.com) — Neighbors near CAA Park in Catonsville are frustrated after a Baltimore County official approved an Aug. 29 arts festival with live bands, despite a June ruling that concerts at The Vortex venue there violate zoning rules. Residents describe loud music, shaking windows, and summer-long portable toilets, while supporters praise the nonprofit's shows, highlighting a growing clash over how Catonsville balances its "Music City Maryland" identity with neighborhood peace.
   

• Baltimore Sports Fans Chomp Way to a $30,000 Ms.PAC-MAN Top Prize (mdlottery.com) — A Baltimore-area couple nicknamed "The Birds" just claimed a $30,000 top prize from the Ms. PAC-MAN scratch-off after buying a $3 ticket at Morgan's BP Service Station on Frederick Road in Catonsville. The frequent player used her last $12 on four tickets, discovered the big win at home, and now plans to tuck the unexpected windfall into savings while the retailer earns a $300 bonus.
