*Holy Chow in Silver Spring, MD Says It May Close Permanently This Sunday Without Immediate Community Support*
Holy Chow, the Silver Spring kosher Chinese restaurant that is approaching its 10th anniversary, says it may permanently close this Sunday, or once its remaining inventory is sold, unless it receives immediate support from the community.
In a lengthy message to customers, owner Ami said orders have fallen approximately 30% over the past two to three years, while catering business has nearly disappeared and food, labor and other operating costs have continued to rise.
Ami is asking community members who want to see Holy Chow remain open to support the restaurant through future orders and catering.
"It isn't charity. It's a commitment," Ami wrote. "Just the same thing we've given you for nine years: showing up."

It’s always great to see our local leaders supporting Baltimore-area businesses.

*Baltimore Making Progress on Vacant Homes as 5 Neighborhoods Lead the Way*
Baltimore City is making progress in its effort to tackle thousands of vacant homes, with about 1,800 properties reclaimed so far as part of a plan to revitalize 5,000 vacant properties by July 2029.
The five neighborhoods with the largest reductions since July 2024 are:
1. Broadway East — 99 fewer vacant homes
2. Coldstream-Homestead-Montebello — 81 fewer
3. Sandtown-Winchester — 80 fewer
4. East Baltimore Midway — 69 fewer
5. Harlem Park — 62 fewer
The city started with roughly 16,000 vacant properties and is tracking renovations and properties returned to productive use as the initiative continues.

*Mayor Scott Signals Continued Legal Fight Over Inspector General’s Access to City Records*
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says the city will consider its legal options after a Circuit Court judge indicated she will order the city to restore Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming’s access to city databases and records.
Scott maintains that the Inspector General previously abused her access and improperly accessed privileged information. Judge Pamela White pushed back on the city’s arguments, saying the Inspector General needs access to records to independently investigate potential fraud, waste and abuse.
The Appellate Court of Maryland also denied the city’s request earlier this week to delay the case. Scott said the city will review the judge’s forthcoming written order and “explore all options.”
Seen at Safeway on Smith Ave. Just a friendly reminder to never park like this.. Thanks
