Locust Point residents have had to live all summer with a constant hum, about the volume of a vacuum cleaner. How does it compare to the loudest places in Baltimore? @PatrickMcCas & @NinaCGiraldo took to the streets (with a mic!) to find out. https://t.co/gwnZKugfNA

While I am personally very sad to see @kyoshino leave the Banner, I'm also damn proud of what she built and the legacy she leaves. The Banner is thriving because of her leadership and we will continue to in the future.
Big news: I'm stepping down as editor-in-chief of @baltimorebanner to join The Washington Post as managing editor. This decision has been difficult. I love what we've built here proving local journalism can thrive, and it's been the best job of my life. 🧵
