Before the horses race in the Kentucky Derby on Saturday evening, Baltimore had an annual race of its own with a poodle, a crocodile, and 27 other sculptures trekking around the city through sand, water, and mud. Celebrating its 25th year, Baltimore’s favorite spectator sport, The Kinetic Sculpture Race, took to the streets on Saturday. Upwards of 30 sculpture teams participated through the city-wide obstacle course, testing their engineering and patience skills.

For six minutes, the sounds of an East Baltimore Spring danced through the silence: birds chirping; a helicopter flying overhead; children shouting, “mamá.” People huddled in jackets and sweaters before an altar of six crosses for the six men killed in the Key Bridge collapse: Alejandro Hernández Fuentes, Carlos Daniel Hernández, Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, José Mynor López and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera.

Along a pine-lined road in Prince George’s County, the entrance to the Eastern Ecological Science Center’s Bee Lab is marked by a sign with a hovering black and yellow bee, big as a baseball. Wildlife biologist Sam Droege built the Bee Lab from the ground up over the past quarter-century. Here, some pollinate the native plant garden, and hundreds of thousands more are pinned and ready for study.

Early Friday morning, between the Adult Fiction and Science Fiction sections of the Glen Burnie Library, its doors still closed to the public, a handful of couples quietly started a new chapter of their lives. Margaret Bates, 40, a horror and paranormal romance writer, and Geneva Canino, 43, a fantasy dystopian writer, held hands as they walked down a makeshift aisle lined with plastic folding chairs. A display of paper flowers and pink-covered books about love served as a backdrop at the altar.

Traffic traveling both directions on Joppa Road in Baltimore County was backed up near Walther Boulevard on Thursday because of a large sinkhole. Baltimore County officials learned of the damaged road around 8:30 a.m., said Ron Snyder, a spokesperson for the Department of Public Works and Transportation. The Baltimore City Department of Public Works was working with an on-site contractor on repairs because a water main break caused the road to collapse, according to a department spokesperson.
