I live in Laurel, and I shall inquire. I'm curious by nature—some would say nosy, both figuratively and literally (the size and unique shape of my nose enables me to hear
I also earned a degree in Journalism and Creative Writing (minor in Communications or Speech or something), back in the Twentieth Century, at Baruch College, part of the City University of New York.
In 2011 I started a blog called "1 Man, 365 Movies!," whose title and exclamation point proved to be overly ambitious. Many readers did not share my interest in the casting, writing, and other behind-the-scenes aspects of film production, and the blog raked in fewer than zero dollars. I grew despondent when my reviews failed to attract many comments or shares, and abandoned the enterprise. I intend to revive it, however, in the near future.

During the early Twenty-First Century, I worked in the library of a Baltimore law firm, where I cultivated my talent at finding things out online (secret weapon: Google. Tell no one.).
Near the Turn of the Century: Blockbuster. (This was a chain of stores which rented and sold video recordings stored on physical objects, if you can believe it.)
Before that I was briefly an English teacher at a public high school not far from the aforementioned city of Baltimore.
Way back during the years that started with "19," I was an assembly worker; a bookstore clerk; and the indentured servant of a blacksmith, me meals being twice daily, thank you, Sir, and me living quarters being a nice clean bale of hay in an adjoining barn.

As Greenberg Gibbons (finally) built the Towne Centre at Laurel across the street from me last year, I found I had questions. Among these were: When is that going to open? That building over there, what's that going to be? A portal to an alternate universe? No? Are you sure? How many parking spaces are there? (1,570) What's with the Olde Tyme Spelling?
I still have questions, lots of them, about the Towne Centre, about City Hall, about Laurel Volunteer Rescue Squad, about the City of Laurel, about the library, about greater Laurel, and about why you chose to wear the green pants today (no, I am not looking at you with binoculars: no need to check.). Do you, will you, might you have questions of your own about this town you live in or near, or of which you have recently heard? I'm building this blog on the assumption that you do/will/might. If I'm wrong, it will go the way of "1 Man, 365 Movies!," but if I'm right, we'll all have some interesting, nosy fun.
