In our continuing effort to discuss ways to improve life in Baltimore, once again weโ€™ve found the road to prosperity in the Charm City still goes through Washington, D.C. and major decisions being made โ€“ or not made โ€“ in Congress. Our guest this week has been heavily involved in many debates recently involving Elijah Cummings and the President of The United States about our community.

In the wake of more gun violence in America, our Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen joined us for a spirited conversation about guns, America and the fractured state of Congress in a world of Trump. This is the first of a three-part chat that meandered into every aspect of our daily lives and how our local representatives in D.C. are struggling to create the changes that citizens want and deserve.

We dove in on a variety of topics over a long hour that we hope youโ€™ll listen to and react.

Our #BaltimorePositive schedule has picked up and our calendar is getting full. Please join us soon:

THURSDAY, AUGUST 15 (new guest): David Hornbeck will discuss a life in education and helping children with us at Faidleyโ€™s in Lexington Market at 11am

THURSDAY, AUGUST 22: U.S. Senator Ben Cardin joins us at State Fare in Catonsville at 9am for a breakfast chat

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5 (new date): Reverend Al Hathaway will join us for a crab cake at Faidleyโ€™s at Lexington Market at 11 a.m. (We will show him how to pick a crab, โ€œCatonsvilleโ€ styleโ€)
