Condo boards and homeowners’ associations are typically high-contact, in-person groups that frequently meet. During a global pandemic, those types of gatherings aren’t safe or responsible, so how can HOAs and condo boards keep doing their important work?

A big part of the role of HOAs and condo boards is to make rules governing residents and enforce any action that violates them. But has that enforcement changed during the #COVID19 pandemic?

After a historic game where the team ran for franchise-record 404 yards, our hometown Baltimore Ravens clinched a wild-card spot. Their reward? A chance to avenge last season’s disappointing playoff loss to the Tennessee Titans.
This time, Lamar Jackson and Co. will travel to Nashville to face Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry, who just completed the eighth 2,000-yard rushing season in NFL history.
The game is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 10, at 1 p.m. on CBS. Go Ravens!

Today, our hearts are with those in Washington, D.C. and around the nation. We are shocked and appalled at what we saw play out on national television yesterday afternoon and into the evening. Usually, images like the ones we saw from the Capitol are reserved for third-world countries with autocratic governments. Instead, we saw our fellow Americans running roughshod in one of our most sacred buildings and institutions.
For the good of all Americans and the world, we must unite and come together. We need strength and leadership and compassion. We need to heal.

Clarence H. Du Burns was the first Black mayor of Baltimore, serving Charm City for nearly a year in 1987, and W.E.B. Du Bois, the founder of the NAACP, lived in Baltimore for nearly two decades.
