It’s Preakness Season in Baltimore! The absence of Maximum Security and Country House – the disqualified and official winners of the Kentucky Derby – means there’s no chance for a Triple Crown winner (official or otherwise) after this year’s race. But Saturday, May 18 is sure to still be an exciting day in Baltimore. The 144th Preakness Stakes will be run at 6:48 p.m. at Pimlico Race Course. There will be races all day long, plus tons of color commentary on TV. Plan ahead to make sure you’ve got a great spot to watch the race – and everything else that goes along with it.Read More →

The news cycle has been wild lately. We’ve felt fear, then relief, following the story of the kidnapping (and rescue) of Tennessee girl Carlie Trent. We’ve laughed and rolled our eyes at the announcement that Rob Gronkowski will be on the cover of Madden NFL 17. We’ve devoured every story about Paul Ryan’s meeting with Donald Trump. And we’ve cared way more than we probably should about what’s happening with the cast of Empire.

Whether you’re #NeverTrump or #DropOutHillary, or you’re Feelin’ the Bern, you’ve got to admit, this election season, Baltimoreans need opportunities to escape from the news cycle like never before.

The National Aquarium’s exhibits are both entertaining and educational. Check out Blacktip Reef,Read More →
