The Baltimore Business Journal and @BaltimoreBrew have filed a formal complaint against @BDCBaltimore saying it violated Maryland's Open Meetings law with closed-door meetings that set the Harborplace developer up for a hefty tax break. tinyurl.com/mpdcvwr8

Victor Wembanyama dribbled a basketball up a dangerous mountain route in 4.5 hours (takes a normal person 7-8 hours to walk up it) while training with the monks, per @ramonashelburne
“One day he told Wembanyama to dribble a basketball up another dangerous mountain route to Sanhuangzhai, a monastery deep in the Song Mountains. The hike traversed cliffside plank paths, suspension bridges and ancient forests, and was five times as long as the one to Bodhidharma Cave. The trail forces you to climb roughly 2,500 feet in elevation across uneven ridges and stone.”

What an extraordinary talent!
Brian Wilson single-handedly raised the bar on how to write and arrange a great pop song. He inspired and touched so many songwriters, including me. It pushed the Beatles towards Sergeant Pepper and in God Only Knows he created a masterpiece that remains unmatched to this day.
God speed, Brian.

The much-anticipated OKC-CLE game averaged 1.87 million viewers on ESPN Wednesday night, up +20% vs. the comparable window last year. The game peaked with 2.5 million viewers. The back-and-forth contest which featured 30 lead changes propelled the Cleveland Cavaliers to the No. 1 trending topic worldwide on X during the game.
The teams face off for “The Rematch” next Thursday, Jan. 16 at 7:30pm/et on TNT.

The Nuggets have been MORE reliant on Joker the past five years than the Bulls EVER were on Jordan.
Jokic is the primary rebounder, passer, playmaker and leader every game!

With The Crown closing, there's a really good story on the importance of Station North on pretty much every club generation since the 70s (at least).
70s-80s Odell's
80s Cignal
Late 80s-2000s Choices/Trips/Gatsby's
2010's Windup Space
2013-present The Crown. Word?

I've been busy traveling a bunch today but please take some time to read Rick's column about the six-year anniversary.
The memory will naturally fade for some, but he always finds the words to keep their names alive and relevant. Press On.
Can't believe it's been six years. thebaltimorebanner.com/opini…

RIP Bill Walton, who 14 years ago spoke about Boris Diaw (career 8.4 ppg/4.4 rebs/3.5 ast) with more beauty and reverence than anyone has ever spoken about another person.
“When I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of the romantics.”

Divers have recovered the body of another construction worker.
His name was Maynor Suazo Sandoval. The family rose from poverty because of him, his cousin Hector said. He was a pillar of the family and always full of joy.
