Imtiaz Patel and Kimi Yoshino of The Baltimore Banner discuss launch week with Nestor at Slainte

Sports fashion is always subjective and Luke Jones and Nestor usually have strong opinions on weak ownership and league cash grabs whenever teams role out a "new look" with alternate jerseys, helmets and colors. This time, however, both agreed they were mostly pleasantly underwhelmed about the over-hyped "Next Flight" branding of the new Baltimore Ravens' markings. Subtle, and fine...

We still love the OG Dundalk location of Costas Inn but coming up on the first anniversary of the "new" Timonium location we sidled up to the bar inside the racetrack grandstand and adjacent to the OTB to discuss the upcoming horse racing Triple Crown season and all of the things that Pete Triantafilos has learned in expanding his father and family's vision for the hospitality that has made the name "Costas" legendary in Baltimore seafood circles.

It's always a pleasure to spend time with Bodeans founder Kurt Neumann, who brings the 40th Anniversary of "Love and Hope and Sex and Dreams" magic to Rams Head On Stage in Annapolis on May 8th. Plenty of good things and good work of the music, touring with U2 and recording with T Bone Burnett with one of Nestor's all-time favorite bands and singer/songwriters, whose first love was beating on the drums.
