Amazing......just about everything in Baltimore county is closed except for government. Employees must use their own leave time or risk damage to themselves or others to get to work. Amazing, just amazing how much Baltimore County government considers their employees!

Are all of the malls closed in Maryland, there's no bus service?

Good news is crime will be down
Raven October 29, 2012 at 04:40 pm
This is typical of this government. No surprise to those that work there really.
Buzz Beeler October 29, 2012 at 05:26 pm
Just got a call the power is out in the 21206 area off Belair Road near the city line. Not sure what the area is called. The Street is Elmwood Road, 21206

If Baltimore County Gov't is closed til Wednesday night does that mean schools are closed also
Raven October 30, 2012 at 07:54 pm
No. Baltimore County schools and offices are outside of the general government, They make their own calls. Their closures and/or delays will be reported separately.
Raven October 30, 2012 at 07:57 pm
Nicole, I would be very very surprised if the general government is closed on Wednesday.

Hide that gun Annie before the hoplophobes in Annapolis take it from you!
Sanchez June 7, 2013 at 03:18 pm

Why does the Ellicott City zip code go into Oella?
Steve Schreiner June 19, 2013 at 04:34 pm
My understanding is that Ellicott City was once (over 100 years ago) an incorporated township andRead More included Oella. Its post office included Oella and that portion within the now 21043 zip code.
