Baltimore residents could have been forgiven for raising their eyebrows when City Council President Zeke Cohen two weeks ago that “Baltimore is writing the greatest comeback story in American history.” Baltimoreans have heard this line before; city leaders perpetually promise that our “renaissance” is just one silver-bullet program, grant, law and/or investment away.

That said, the housing reform bills Cohen introduced in his speech hold real promise, and Baltimoreans should take notice.

Donegal rider Odhran Doogan looks set for a strong finish after the penultimate stage of Rás Tailteann this afternoon. He was wearing the leader’s yellow jersey for the second day in a row today as the competitors took on the 128km Ennis to Mountrath stage. While today’s stage would be far from the longest on this year’s Rás, it was definitely one of the most gruelling – with three categorised climbs on the route, and a punishing Category 1 Wolftrap climb just before the stage end at Mountrath.
