E-Burg Word on the Street

This is the weekly source for all the unofficial stuff that may not be in Eldersburg Print. I'm Jay-Burg, local resident, worker bee, and connoisseur of everything E-Burg.

GOIN' POSTAL
A new postal store has opened in the former location of Cuts in the Liberty Station Shopping Center, where Little Professor Books is located. The store - aptly named Goin' Postal - offers mailing, shipping, mailbox rentals, faxing, copying, stamps, and more. If you need color copies, check them out as they are running a 25 cent Color Copies coupon until the end of July.

Life without Fun Quarters?
Sadly, the amusement headQuarters of Eldersburg will be closing its doors at the end of this month. A generation of Eldersburgians grew up crawling its inspirational tube maze and reveling in the Boardwalk-style excitement - the lights, the games, the prizes...ahh...winning tickets and cashing them in for prizes that I could pick. An employee said they were closing from lack of business. Where now will Eldersburg toddlers turn for their hamster-crawling experience?

DOZERS, Start Your Engines
Delegate Sue Krebs said last night at the FACC meeting that work on the Route 26 and Route 32 expansion project will start within a few days. So, be ready to deal with a few delays and challenges navigating this area...and please, be careful...this intersection has been responsible for a number of very serious accidents, including one that totaled the fire department's vehicle.

Beer + Crabs = Backfin Pale Ale
Brewed by Eldersburg resident Gregg Norris, Backfin Pale Ale is a local popular brew that goes great with crabs, as shown by the crab crawling across the logo. You can get Backfin on tap at a number of local spots including Salerno's and Buffalo Wings and Beer. Now is the time to try it (or stock up) as Salerno's is running a coupon in the Advocate on its back page ad for the best price around, that expires Monday.

WAL-MART Stinks
The Sykesville Freedom Fire Department responded to the Eldersburg Wal Mart store which was evacuated for a brief time, Tuesday June 19, when several employees complained of a burning sensation in their eyes, throats and skin and an unknown odor. Read more.
