As the pandemic continues into its third month of lockdown here in the Charm City and with a huge June 2nd mail-in election on the horizon, we are stepping up our game at Baltimore Positive with daily conversations that we hope you subscribe to and hear and share with friends. It is a very important time for our hometown and our future. Please register to vote and participate in our democracy!

We will be hearing from many of the prime candidates in the Democratic race for Mayor of Baltimore over the next two weeks as election ballots arrive in the mail. And as graduations and the Preakness are on hold here and spring arrives, we will be asking many educational and university leaders about the impact of COVID-19 and the future of higher education in America.

You will not be disappointed by these lengthy, informative final chats – in lieu of the forum we had originally planned to host with all of them in April.

This is Thiru Vignarajah, candidate for Mayor of Baltimore.

We also chatted with Vignarajah at length in Episodes 93, 94 and 95 and 161.

We have nearly two hours of conversation with each of the primary candidates for the June 2nd election that is the most significant of our lifetime locally.

Clearly, a lot has changed and it’s happening very quickly – and crisis management has become the key role for all us during the pandemic.

The next two weeks at Baltimore Positive will feature mayoral candidates and education and university leaders intertwined.

Don and Nestor have been extremely active the past two weeks having meaty conversations with some exceptional and aspirational people.

We are all in this together and this is a time to educate, unite and keep each other safe. But we also have some extra time to read and learn and educate ourselves in many ways.

We will continue to produce high-quality, intelligent conversations with thought leaders throughout this pandemic at Baltimore Positive. And we expect to do it at a rapid pace so stick with us and subscribe!

Like all others, we have halted a “live schedule” and will continue to launch our chats as we have them during this crisis. Expect more than less.

Please subscribe to Baltimore Positive and stay with us.

We were built for this…

Leivovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government

Leivovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government

"It's the best book ever written about the modern National Football League," so says Nestor about Big Game. And that's why we love having its author Mark Leibovich back on when his New England Patriots proudly return to Baltimore for some playoff knockout style football. Now with The Atlantic, the longtime political insider for The New York Times is also heavily immersed in Trumplandia and weighs in on the ongoing Epstein saga and the usual D.C. shenanigans.

Two-time Grammy Award winning percussionist and Marylander M.B. Gordy returns from Los Angeles to tell Nestor about the beat of his latest – and fourth – Grammy nomination with "Seven Seasons" in the Classical Compendium category.

Hail, hail Halethorpe! A Honey of a spot to shoot pool, watch the game and taste fresh flavor

This stands as a warning to anyone who invites Nestor by their place for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour: you're an invite and a taste away because he's en route to meet more great local folks who want to promote their business. Owner Soo Mi Kang of Honey's in Halethorpe invited us over and must've known that offering "Crabby Toast" would invoke the legend of Charles Markwood Eckman. Competitive billiards, great food and the game is always on at this old-school joint on the south side.
