&nbps;0 Comments
Patch readers know we’re all about objective news in and around our neighborhoods. But we also like to hear about the thoughts and personal experiences that matter to you. We’ve pulled together a bevy of great columnists, so if you want to find out what residents are saying in your neck of the woods, or local news of your area, read on for this week’s Columns and Community.

Baltimore Ravens Opt Out of Training Camp at McDaniel College
As Patch reported earlier, the Ravens contract with McDaniel expired after last year's training camp and a new contract was never announced. This summer, the Baltimore Ravens will end a 15-year tradition of holding training camp at McDaniel, opting to stay at their permanent facility in Owings Mills because of the NFL lockout. Read the local reaction on Westminster Patch.

Thousands of Elkridge Residents, Still Without Curbside Recycling
In June 2007, Waste Management announced that it had opened in Elkridge the largest single-stream recycling facility in the nation. Four years later, some residents living within miles of the Recycle America plant on Kit Kat Road still don't have curbside recycling services. The irony of the situation can be reviewed, reused and recycled on Elkridge Patch.

Parts 12 and  3 are on Columbia Patch.
