Today's riddle: What has a neck but no head? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Baltimore County police monitor Towson nightlife crowd (wbaltv.com) — Police are stepping up patrols in downtown Towson after a large student gathering behind a local shop led to arrests and concerns from the Towson Chamber of Commerce about business impacts and safety. Officers are now monitoring York Road on foot and by car, while some students argue nightlife has already calmed and a new safety plan isn't needed.
2. Towson reports largest incoming freshman class in university history (thetowerlight.com) — Towson University has welcomed its largest-ever incoming freshman class this August, pushing total enrollment to more than 19,500 students and straining on-campus housing. To handle nearly 6,000 new students, including 3,250 freshmen, the university has added temporary triple dorms, expanded living-learning communities, and adjusted student affairs services to better support the growing population in Towson.
3. Fall Arts 2026: Comedy, Visual Arts and More (jmoreliving.com) — Jesmyn Ward is coming to Goucher College in Towson on Sept. 13 for a free, ticketed talk as part of the Booked for Baltimore County Public Library series. The broader roundup also highlights major fall arts events in Baltimore, from big-name comedians to museum exhibitions and the Baltimore Book Festival, but Towson readers may especially want to reserve seats for Ward's appearance close to home.
4. Orioles up late trying not to stink in Sacramento (baltimorepositive.com) — Broadcasting from Towson, WNST AM 1570 dives into whether the Orioles can turn a series win in St. Louis into a serious wild-card push during a crucial road trip to Sacramento and Colorado. Hosts Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones dissect recent pitching ups and downs, surging bats like Pete Alonso and Kobe Mayo, and why the next six games could define Baltimore's playoff hopes.
