Essex, MD

U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Congressman Johnny Olszewski took a trip to Essex on Thursday to present a check for $2 million to the Baltimore County Public Library. If Baltimore County voters approve Question N this November election, it would authorize the county to borrow almost $60 million for new library buildings.

Plans for a new Baltimore County Public Library branch in Essex are $2.5 million closer to becoming a reality.

Going through all of these memories from four decades ago of rock stars and concerts and the backstage access life gets a little cloudy so our resident rock star John Allen of Stone Horses came back to Pizza John's in Essex. Nestor surprised his lifer pal with a Child's Play blast from the #AlmostFamousNes music critic vault of the music memory bank and the receipts of local rock history.

With our newest sponsor (and real life bank) Rosedale Bank coming aboard as a partner at WNST and Baltimore Positive, it was long overdue to bring our longtime pal Don Scheeler to Pizza John's in Essex on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to tell his "Rosedale Federal" family story and how he met Nestor on the streets of New York with a free Bruce Springsteen ticket two decades ago. Life on E Street with two guys with real Baltimore roots and an #AlmostFamousNes music memory bank that fills a vault. T
