Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 'Connect on a deeper level': The new signs pointing to Catonsville's history (wmar2news.com) — New 12-foot "Signs of People" artworks featuring real Catonsville residents are being unveiled around town, including along Frederick Road and Winters Lane, as permanent fixtures starting Saturday. Each sign shares personal stories and local history, especially highlighting the Winters Lane African American community, giving neighbors and visitors a deeper way to connect with Catonsville's past and the people who shaped it.
• This week in Matter for Mallory: Speed humps and postal problems (wmar2news.com) — After nine crashes outside her Catonsville home, a resident finally has speed humps installed on Kenwood Avenue, a change she hopes will prevent yet another car from plowing into her yard. The same report highlights a federal audit of Baltimore-area post offices that found missing keys, delayed mail, and inaccurate package scans, along with tips to better protect mailed payments.
• Swastika spray-painted on Catonsville High parking lot; County police investigating (newsbreak.com) — Families connected to Catonsville High School are being notified after a swastika was discovered spray-painted in the school's upper stadium parking lot on Oct. 2, prompting a Baltimore County police bias-crime investigation. Local parents, educators, and Jewish community leaders describe the incident as deeply unsettling, stressing that hate symbols have no place in Catonsville schools and urging a strong community response.
