Good day, people of Glen Burnie! Check out the latest issue of the Glen Burnie Daily.

First, today's weather:

Windy with a shower or two. High: 72 Low: 52. Holy smokes! Break out the shorts!

Here are the top 4 stories in Glen Burnie today:

  1. Sadly, a man was struck and killed Tuesday night. Several calls were placed to the police about a pedestrian walking in a lane on Ritchie Highway, near Severna Park Golf Center. Unfortunately, by the time police arrived on scene the man had been struck and killed. Pedestrian error is believed to be the blame. (wmar2news.com)
  2. Maryland born residents can request to have their birth certificate printed on site. The MDOT MVA has expanded this service to three additional branches. This will make getting a REAL ID much easier. (Bay Net)
