Heavy Seas Beer Files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Will Keep Brewing

Heavy Seas Beer, one of Maryland’s oldest and largest craft breweries, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company says it is reorganizing, not closing. Clipper City Brewing Company, L.P., which does business as Heavy Seas, filed a voluntary petition Nov. 8 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Baltimore under Subchapter V, a faster reorganization track for small businesses.

Dundalk resident writes story about escaping domestic violence

Dundalk resident Tameka Brown experienced a marriage shaped by verbal abuse and fear. While she escaped domestic violence, she feels her experience can help others. That is why Brown has turned her story into a book. “Sharing my story can give another man or woman the encouragement to leave and to give them the courage to talk about it,” Brown said. “Turning it into a book, and a self-help book at that, just to let people know that they’re not alone.” Brown’s book, “I’m Not Your Punching Bag,” talks about the things both she and her children went through in a relationship defined by domestic violence, and the retaliation that ensued. When Brown left her relationship, the abuse did not stop. She was stalked. Her child was kidnapped from daycare. She was taken on a high-speed chase through Dundalk. “Me putting a plan together to leave my abuser was everything. But me leaving did not end the abuse; it still continued in many different ways,” Brown said. Brown got a protective order, but that did not stop the stalking and high-speed chase. After that, her abuser tried to manipulate the judge, Brown said. Once Brown explained how she already had

Taco Bell construction update in Rockville

Construction of the new Taco Bell restaurant building continues at 1100 Rockville Pike. It's not moving fast enough for diehard fans of the Mexican mega chain. But the building is now enclosed, and as you can see, glass has been installed. Will it be done by the end of the year? I'm not optimistic, given the current status of the construction. This is the best Taco Bell in Montgomery County, so impatience is a virtue.

This Maryland Deli Is Winning Over Locals With Its Enormous Pastrami Sandwiches

Pastrami gets piled so high here that the sandwich needs two hands and maybe a game plan. That’s the reputation this Maryland deli has built, one stacked rye at a time. The menu doesn’t stop at pastrami, either. Corned beef, Reubens, brisket, and matzo ball soup all share the spotlight.
