Red Boat closes Charles Street location

The Red Boat has closed after less than two years on Charles Street. The Vietnamese fusion restaurant at 334 N. Charles St. has been closed since late last week, with plastic covering the windows and door. A manager with the Red Boat location on Eutaw Street confirmed the restaurant had shuttered and said the owners “didn’t want to continue with it.” The Eutaw Street location will remain open. Red Boat’s Charles Street location is still listed on the company’s website, but the restaurant’s phone…

Opinion: Pugh's apology was 'a classic case of too little, much too late'

Thursday marked an end to yet another chapter in the Healthy Holly saga. Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh was sentenced to three years in prison for her role in masterminding the children’s book scandal that further eroded the reputation of a city that was already floundering in the aftermath of Freddie Gray’s death in April 2015. Last November, a stoic Pugh pleaded guilty to four of 11 federal charges stemming from that case. Since then, the Norristown, Pennsylvania native, who turns…

Upon visiting Blue Water’s Ocean City offices, you’re likely to find an employee named Willis Burbage in the lobby — and quite possibly asleep on the job. Willis is a yellow lab and the sign above his “desk” says he’s the real estate company’s “canine customer relations manager.” But the furry friend of CEO Todd Burbage does even more than that: he’s a brand ambassador, greeting visitors and setting the tone for the company, said Kim Wootteon, director of marketing at Blue Water. The lobby…
