(WOODLAWN – May 23, 2026) – Some people find their calling. Janelle Shorter was born into hers. At just 18 years old, she stepped into the world of hospitality and never looked back — not because the road was easy, but because she understood something that can’t be taught: that great service is, at its core, an act of love.

From personalizing cocktails to orchestrating private events, she has built a reputation for turning first-time patrons into lifelong family. That’s the standard she has set — and the standard she exceeds, week…

Best of the West, Irvin “Buggie” Nore, to be Honored at Black Wall Street WOODLAWN

Parks, a proud graduate of Hampton Institute — now Hampton University — spent 42 years in education, first as a classroom teacher and then rising through the ranks to serve as an assistant principal for six years before…

OP-ED: Redevelopment Without Respect Is Not Revitalization

(BALTIMORE – May 17, 2026) – For years, residents of Edmondson Village have been told redevelopment was coming. We were told it would improve our quality of life, strengthen the corridor, and breathe new energy into West Baltimore. But increasingly, many longtime residents are asking a simple question: Redevelopment for whom? Let me be clear: no one is against redevelopment of the Edmondson Village Shopping Center. We understand the need for investment. We understand that communities evolve. What many of us oppose is a process that feels disconnected from the people who actually live here. On May 14, 2026, during…
