SAT Changes Make it Harder to Know Chances as College Applicant
SAT scores came out today from the March test (the first of the redesigned SAT). Of course, juniors got a glimpse of what the new test would be like in October, when they took the redesigned PSAT. Now my students are racing to find out what their scores mean. College Board came up with an online SAT Score Converter, which can also be found on the app store.

Bolton Hill: Engaged Urban Living
Welcome to our new series “Neighborhood Watch,” which reveals the character of a city neighborhood through the eyes of residents who live there. All photos by Tyler Merbler.
It was a damp February Friday and I was out of breath by the time I reached Mount Royal Tavern. I had just missed the Circulator downtown and didn’t have the luxury of waiting 20 minutes for the next one, so I huffed it north, hoping I wouldn’t be too late to meet up at The Mount Royal Tavern with Bolton Hill residents Kevin and Sarah Cross. Kevin and I met through a mutual friend and through the wonders of Facebook and Twitter, I learned that Kevin has a wealth of knowledge of all things Baltimore. On social media, he’d comment on the history of the city, upcoming festivals, or anything and everything going on around town. When I decided to highlight neighborhoods in Baltimore through the eyes of quintessential residents, I knew he and his wife Sarah would be the perfect place to start.
This was my first visit to the Mount Royal Tavern; it was everything I desire from a bar. Cash only. Old men tending bar. An elderly patron calling me her shield from unsolicited advances. The bartenders are heavy on the whiskey in their whiskey sodas, which pretty much cinched MRT for me. It was like Club Charles if they had exchanged all the hipsters for quirky lifetime locals and replaced the art deco decor with absurd, ever-changing art, like the erotica-themed pieces that lined the walls that night.
Mt. Washington Tavern Fire Extinguished, Owners Leave Message of Thanks on Facebook
The fire that started at the popular bar and restaurant at about 5 a.m. this morning has been put out by the Baltimore City Fire Department. Relieved that no one was hurt and moved by the outpouring of support from the community, the owners posted this message on the tavern’s Facebook page:
To our valued customers, friends,
What a morning. We may be down but we are certainly not out. The fire has taken the Tavern for now but we look very forward to rebuilding and being better than ever.
We are so thankful for the outpouring of support already and even more so that our customers and employees were unharmed. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. We will keep you posted as news develops and look forward to celebrating with you at our grand re-opening.
