Viewpoint: It is time for Dan Snyder to finally sell his team

Correct me if I’m wrong, but an executive leader’s purpose is to lead her or his enterprise to growth, yes? Not to send it flailing into scandalous, pitiable disarray? If that is still the case and the basic tenets of business and management remain intact, then Dan Snyder, my friend, you are failing mightily as an executive leader. In your 20 years atop Washington’s NFL franchise, you have taken a football team whose fingers could have set off metal detectors for hours with their multiple…

The owners of one of Baltimore’s top Peruvian restaurants are branching out with a more casual spot focused on empanadas.

Lexington St. serves a focused selection of empanadas — from the the classic “Tradicional,” stuffed with steak and caramelized onions and topped with powdered sugar, to the “Lomo Saltado,” a mix of…

Montgomery County finalizes incentive package to lure Fox affiliates to Bethesda

Montgomery County is sending $500,000 in incentive money to Washington’s Fox affiliates, in tandem with $1 million from the state, to seal the deal on the TV stations’ move from D.C. to Bethesda.

McDonald’s takes a slightly different tack, predicating its offer of a free six-piece…
