LOOK: Wawa Grand Opening on Ritchie Highway

Wawa celebrated its grand opening with a hoagie building contest between police officers and fire fighters.

Wawa celebrated its grand opening Friday morning with a little bit of friendly competition between the Anne Arundel County police and fire departments. Police officers and fire fighters raced to see which team could build more subs in three minutes. In the end, the fire fighters walked away victorious, earning them $1,000 for the department. The police didn't walk away empty handed though, earning the department a $500 check.  "Our grand opening celebration is a wonderful way to show our support, bring the community together and provide the Glen Burnie community with the Wawa products it loves," said Chief Information Officer, Suzanne Keenan. This location, 7124 Ritchie Highway, is the second WaWa location in Glen Burnie. Get local stories…

Glen Burnie Residents Not Excited Over Casino Grand Opening

The new gaming and entertainment facility held its grand opening Wednesday night in Hanover, but not everyone is excited about the new venue.

Thousands descended upon the new Maryland Live! casino at Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover Wednesday night to celebrate the grand opening of the new gaming and entertainment facility.  Several parts of the complex are still incomplete, but Wednesday's opening still made for a big night for developer David Cordish. I honestly toyed with the idea of going past the casino last night, but thought better of it. I wonder what the casino will do to traffic.
