Here are the top 3 stories today in Glen Burnie:

Teachers Union endorses Steuart Pittman for re-election as County Exec. He has helped improve school facilities and educator resources. The group, in a press release, thanked Pittman for recent teacher pay raises that were long overdue. In 2018, Pittman promised he would support teachers and education — and he has delivered. (Patch)

From my notebook:

FUN FACT: Glen Burnie was named after Elias Glenn, who was a district attorney. In 1812, he established a county seat near what is currently known as Brooklyn Park. The property was later named Glennsburnie, then Glennsbourne Farm and eventually shortened to Glen Burnie.
