"They got to the bottom of the hills they were coming up. It looked like a prison camp, except the prisoners were skeletons. So they started dragging these prisoners, these bodies, down into this pit and as they started to pile up, my dad looked down and one of the corpses blinked. And my father, 18 years old, sai...

Baltimore, MD - Oct. 28, 2025 - Two historically Black colleges and universities in Maryland received a total of $101 million in donations in a span of less than two weeks from billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott, the schools announced this month.
The unrestricted gifts — $63 million for Morgan State University announced on Oct. 15 and $38 million to University of Maryland, Eastern Shore announced Friday — are in addition to $60 million that Scott gave the schools five years ago. Morgan State got $40 million then, and UMES received $20 million.
Scott also donated $25 million in 2020 to Maryland’s second-largest HBCU, Bowie State University, the largest single gift in the school’s history. In total, Scott has donated $186 milli...
Baltimore, MD - Oct. 28, 2025 - On Monday, October 27, around 6:20 p.m., a man entered Market Maven and stole a pair of Tefillin from the self-service stand at 1630 Reisterstown Road.
Chabad of Maryland launched the stand shortly after October 7, 2023, providing shoppers a moment to pray, give charity, and connect spiritually. The stand attracted visitors almost daily, making this theft especially disheartening. It now sits empty, leaving a visible gap in the community’s spiritual space.
Baltimore County Police are investigating the incident.
Anyone with information should contact Market Maven management, Baltimore County Police, or Chabad of Maryland.
