Gossip Column

 



Almost everything I want to write about today leans a little gossipy. I just want you to know in advance that I’m aware of that. You have been warned. As always, take any local commentary with a grain of salt. 

Who is Lady Savage and why is she inviting local women to a Night Out in May? Why does this mood of this artwork look a little creepy to me? Is this a mystery night? Will the ancients be raised from their slumber? Does Lady Savage have any skeletons in her closet? And where’s Lord Savage? Does she keep him locked in the tower? 




The League of Women Voters of Howard County is having their annual meeting on April 25th.

Join us for the League of Women Voters of Howard County Annual Meeting on April 25 at 5:30 p.m. at Miller Branch Library. Purchase a $25 ticket for a wonderful meal. Non-members are welcome, but can't vote. Reserve your spot via our website!

The Howard County League of Women Voters is an excellent organization and consistently provides top-quality voter education events in the community. However, I’m a little concerned that this event is still more than ten days away because I think they’re going to run out of stock photos.



Shout out to the folks on the ColumbiaMD subReddit for maintaining an online space that is hands down more sane and civilized than NextDoor. You will find “What were those sirens?” posts in both places but at least on Reddit some wag will assure you that it’s a UFO cover up. 

Wait, was that really a UFO near Lake Elkhorn?

Over at the new location of Sweet Cascades Chocolatier at Courthouse Overlook you can buy police badges and judges’ gavels and I’m just not buying it.



I don’t doubt that they are really making these, I just have mixed feelings. And did you know there is now a place in Columbia called Courthouse Overlook?

In the Board of Education race, this advert for Julie Kaplan (hopeful in District 4) made my hair stand straight up. 




This cannot be aimed at anyone other than low-information voters and it’s disappointing at best. If you know anything about Howard County politics you would know that these particular gentleman are not representative examples of local Democrats and Republicans. Like or dislike them, that’s your choice, but their endorsement is not even remotely a bipartisan event.

Ms. Kaplan is hoping to unseat incumbent Jen Mallo. If her intent is to be the candidate everyone can agree on - - well - - this ad…has very pretty colors.

In closing, this one is purely for laughs. This image comes from a realtor’s listing for the Wynddon Estate* in Phoenix, MD. (Yes, I know it’s in Baltimore County.)  “A set of resting nooks built into a hallway.”

Friends, I am stunned. This place has 13 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms but it somehow needs two extra beds in a hallway? Is this a polite way of turning away unwanted guests? 

“So sorry, we haven’t a room ready for you but you can sleep in the hallway.”

Help me understand. Or, better yet, tell me your perfectly ridiculous reasons why this exists. To be honest, at my house this would be all about stuffed plush companions but I’m sure you have better ideas.
