Lint blamed for causing fire that spread from laundry area to rear of home.
Dundalk firefighters responded to a 10 p.m. call Monday night in Turner Station, putting down a fire in a brick, garden-style duplex that began when lint ignited a laundry room blaze.

Gifted, prolific and Grammy Award-winning artist began playing the trombone in fifth grade at Bragg Elementary School in Sparrows Point.
Interesting places have interesting people—and interesting people live in interesting places. Turner Station is one of those interesting places. Founded in the late 1880s and steeped in rich culture, it has the legacy as having been one of the largest African-American communities in Baltimore County. Turner Station was known for The Bath House on Edgewater Beach and The Anthony Theater built by Dr. Joseph Thomas, which ran the top features of the day.

So, looking back as Douglas Purviance was born on July 18, 1952 into a community known for its culture, it was like…

A book based on the "immortal life" of a Turner Station native has been named a finalist for numerous national book prizes. As part of Black History month, Patch.com recalls her story.
The history of medicine echoes with the familiar names of people who made important contributions to the field: Louis Pasteur, Alexander Fleming, Marie Curie, Jonas Salk. None made a contribution to medicine as far-reaching or personal as Turner Station's own Henrietta Lacks. Until this year, few people even knew who she was. On a blisteringly hot summer day earlier this year, a small group of people gathered in Turner Station to remember Henrietta and unveil plans for a historic marker in front of the former Lacks home at 513 New Pittsburg Road. Her story was told in The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, published last February by Crown Books. Recently, the work was selected as a finalist for the 2010 Wellcome Trust Book…
