BALTIMORE — This week, Mallory shares how a local nonprofit rescued a child's birthday party after a reptile rescue stopped responding, and why years of complaints are finally leading to safety improvements at a dangerous Glen Burnie intersection.
🦎 Local nonprofit steps in after reptile rescue stops responding before birthday party
What started as a birthday disaster turned into a heartwarming surprise. After a reptile rescue stopped responding just days before a 7-year-old's birthday party, the Baltimore Critter Society stepped in, bringing reptiles - and smiles - to the celebration at no cost. The family later donated their refunded payments to the nonprofit, which hopes the story also raises awareness about reptile adoption and rescue.
🚧 After years of complaints, state to add warning signs at Glen Burnie crash-prone intersection
After years of concerns from business owners and more than two dozen crashes since 2024, the State Highway Administration says it will install additional warning signs at a Glen Burnie intersection this fall. Residents hope the added signage will slow drivers and prevent future crashes, while officials continue to evaluate long-term safety improvements.
