• Yes, it's been quite a summer in Baltimore… (baltimorepositive.com) — Baltimore's packed summer of concerts, rugby, and international soccer at M&T Bank Stadium is drawing huge regional crowds and tourism dollars, but experts say the city and state aren't fully capitalizing on it. Dundalk even gets a themed night in the Orioles' long list of community promotions, as the conversation turns to how these big events, NFL games abroad, and looming baseball labor issues could affect local fans and businesses.
