Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Maryland's 25 Best Public High Schools for 2027, According to Niche (mocoshow.com) — Severna Park families can take pride that Severna Park High School earned a spot among Maryland's top 25 public high schools in Niche's 2027 rankings. The list, based on academics, graduation rates, and parent reviews, highlights how several Anne Arundel and nearby county schools stack up statewide as college readiness and school quality remain top concerns.
• Retail Lending Rose 61% This Year. It Was Also One of the Slowest-Growing Property Types Last Quarter. Both Are True (realtytoday.com) — A major Severna Park shopping center, Park Plaza on Ritchie Highway, just secured a $43 million refinancing, signaling strong lender confidence in this long-established, daily-needs retail hub. For local shoppers and nearby businesses, that fresh capital should help keep the center stable and well-maintained even as national retail lending shows signs of slowing momentum.
• Maryland Family Warns of Firepit Dangers After Tragic Accident (newswise.com) — A Severna Park family is sharing their 5-year-old son Ben's painful firepit accident to warn neighbors as cooler weather brings more backyard fires. After severe burns and intensive treatment at Johns Hopkins Children's Center, Ben is recovering, and his doctors are urging local parents to tighten firepit safety and supervision to prevent similar tragedies.
