1. CCBC investing $28M to expand automotive technology center in Catonsville (wmar2news.com) — A major expansion is coming to CCBC's Transportation Technology Center in Catonsville, with a $28 million project that will nearly double the facility's size and add labs for electric and hydrogen vehicles. College leaders say the upgrade will relieve overcrowding, attract new industry partnerships, and better prepare local students for fast-changing automotive careers. A separate $13 million welding and trades center is also underway at CCBC Dundalk.
2. Archbishop Lori Homily: Feast of the Little Flower (archbalt.org) — Residents and staff at St. Martin's Home in Catonsville heard Archbishop Lori reflect on the feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, emphasizing her "Little Way" of doing small things with great love. He connected that spirituality to the daily care offered by the Little Sisters of the Poor and encouraged residents to see their prayers and small sacrifices as powerful missionary work. The homily aimed to affirm the community's faith, dignity, and sense of purpose.
3. A Travel Guide to Exploring Route 40, America's First Highway (baltimoremagazine.com) — A new Route 40 travel guide highlights a scenic stop just west of Catonsville at Patapsco Valley State Park's Hollofield Area, where you can enjoy sweeping river and bridge views. The story then traces Route 40 across Maryland, pointing out historic towns, museums, quirky attractions, and road-trip stops from Elkton through Frederick to the mountains near Cumberland.
4. Titans insider Jim Wyatt joins Nestor from Nashville with preview of Ravens matchup and LuvYaBlue debate (baltimorepositive.com) — As the Ravens prepare to host the Tennessee Titans, a Nashville beat writer joins a Baltimore sports show to break down Tennessee's struggles, Baltimore's AFC hopes, and key matchups involving Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and Zay Flowers. The conversation even detours to local flavor, with plans to steer the visiting reporter to a Fadeley's crab cake at Fishmonger's Daughter in Catonsville near BWI. Stadium changes in Nashville and the throwback Oilers uniforms also get plenty of airtime.
