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.

Flags line Dundalk Avenue for Veterans Day
If you walk or drive down Dundalk Avenue, you will see hundreds of American flags lining the grass. That is how the Dundalk-Patapsco Neck Historical Society has honored Veterans Day for the past nine years. “It’s just an emotional display,” said Historical Society member Joe Stadler, the backbone behind the operation. The tradition started in 2018, when the Historical Society asked on Facebook if anybody would like to contribute to purchasing American flags that would be placed along the road, Stadler said. The Historical Society received more than $2,000 and had more than 2,000 flags. Stadler said the flag display was inspired by the Path of Honor in Parkville. The Path of Honor was first created on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks to remember each life lost on 9/11 by planting 2,977 American flags along Putty Hill Avenue. Stadler and his wife drive up Joppa Road several times a month. When he first saw those flags, they inspired him. “When you saw that, how could you not feel American?” Stadler said. “It’s like, we have to do something like that here. I thought Veterans Day was the perfect opportunity.” Since the first year the tradition started,
