• Hospital highlights breastfeeding week with support group (somdnews.com) — New and expectant Leonardtown parents should know MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital is spotlighting its free lactation support group during World Breastfeeding Week, but the drop‑in sessions run year‑round. Local nurses and lactation consultants offer weigh‑ins, latch help, pumping guidance and a moms‑only space, giving families practical, science‑backed support long after they leave the maternity ward. 
• Southern Maryland's music scene finds its rhythm (somdnews.com) — Leonardtown’s Rex theater is emerging as a key nightlife hub, drawing national touring acts and giving local bands a big-stage home right in town. The story also highlights how venues from Solomons to Mechanicsville are building a surprisingly deep Southern Maryland music circuit that Leonardtown residents can enjoy without driving to D.C. or Baltimore.
• Storm Rain Doesn't Slow Southern Maryland Anglers (southernmarylandchronicle.com) — Anglers from Leonardtown have a solid nearby option at St. Mary’s Lake, a 250-acre reservoir in St. Mary’s River State Park that’s producing bass, crappie, pickerel and bluegill despite recent heavy rain. The wider Southern Maryland report notes strong spot, perch, bluefish and cobia action in local rivers and the bay, plus shifting red drum regulations every fisher should know.
