Dundalk Patch received the following letter from Dundalk resident Bob Staab: It's time for the people of the Southeastern area to wake from their doldrums and begin protecting the interest of themselves, their children and future generations. I grew up and have lived in the Dundalk area my whole life. I've seen many changes occur, many of which have done harm to the integrity of the area. Some of the worst occurrences have been thrust on us over the past decade with administrations who don't seem to care about our people or our "Quality of Life." A once proud and well recognized Recreation and Parks program in the county has gone from the best in the country to a total abomination. This has happened not because of the Recreation and Parks …

One proposal would merge Eastwood and Norwood Elementary and Holabird Middle schools into a K-8 STEM academy.
About 150 Dundalk residents and school children attended a meeting Monday night at Holabird Middle School that addressed the futures of three Dundalk schools. Parents said they were notified of the meeting late last week and were given little information as to what it was about. The meeting was called to discuss a potential reorganization of Eastwood Elementary Magnet, Norwood Elementary and Holabird Middle schools. At its end, some parents thought school officials delivered mixed messages. School system Deputy Superintendent Kevin Hobbs told those gathered that no school was being closed, but parents said they heard something completely different. "Nothing's being shut down, nothing's being lost, we're not losing a school," Hobbs told the…

I can't believe this many people are angry at something so stupid. Dundalk is a cesspool of low class hicks and would serve Maryland better as a landfill rather than a living area. I was born and raised in Dundalk and I am ashamed to admit that I am from there. I'm so glad I got out at a young age. Let Dundalk die a slow painful death. more ›
