 “Camp out for a grocery store? Seriously? There must be something more important in your life.”  -

“I love Wegmans, and I will go there a lot (especially since it's near work - I can't wait to get Danny's subs on my lunch break!), but nothing beats being able to walk over to the KC village center during the evening or weekend with the toddler in her wagon and get pizza or sushi or Chinese and then Rita’s. That village center, along with the park, pool, and the paths through the woods, are what keep me from wanting to move, even though we're starting to outgrow our condo. I've walked to the grocery store and the liquor store plenty of times and don't see that changing once Wegmans opens. I'd like to see more family-oriented evening and weekend activities at the village center. Maybe movie nights or festivals - a farmer's market would be lovely.” -

“To the family: I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you can find peace through prayer and those who have fond memories of her.”

“I don't see anything wrong with the book being ordered, as long as it has a certain age restriction on the book as well as the fact that if people want to read it, let them. I go to the Howard County Library a lot, in fact, almost every day. The library has every right to order 100 copies of the book because it is a popular book.”  

“For all the parents out there: these are our children, and if you want a quality education for your children, which includes healthy activities, then you need to speak up and call the BOE or send them an email at boe@hcpss.org. Start parents groups and speak up at every opportunity you get. A quality, healthy education for a child requires as much play as it does hard work.”
