Baltimore Summer Restaurant Week organizers are hoping a new pricing concept will not only bring in new restaurants and diners but keep the city at the forefront of the ever-growing trend. The Downtown Partnership of Baltimore and Visit Baltimore announced restaurant week will return to Baltimore July 22-31. Past iterations of the event had fixed price points, such as $20 and $30 during last summer’s restaurant-focused week. This year, three-course dinners will be priced between $20-$35 and two-course…

On a quiet street in East Baltimore lined by row houses, there’s a hub of activity next to Fort Worthington Elementary-Middle School. Even though it’s tucked away about a dozen blocks north of Johns Hopkins Hospital, the project represents a turning point in the city’s quest to upgrade and rebuild its decrepit schools. It’s the first of a massive $1.1 billion school construction overhaul project that was inked in October 2013 as part of a memorandum of understanding between the city, state and…

Despite a volatile first half of 2016, T. Rowe Price Group Inc. said Tuesday a U.S. recession is unlikely and it expects modest revenue and earnings growth. The Baltimore-based money manager said abrupt swings in sentiment about slow global growth, the potential for rising inflation and interest rates in the U.S., and lingering concerns about China created a difficult environment for investors. But T. Rowe Price (NASDAQ: TROW) economists and portfolio managers say investors’ fears are being eased…

Steve Rivelis and his wife Linda thought they could completely renovate the old mansion at 924 N. Charles St. in nine months, just in time to open their new restaurant, the Elephant, for fall 2015. More work was needed than they anticipated, however, so they stopped putting a timeline on the opening and built the former location of the Brass Elephant out to their liking. In four weeks, the public will get a chance to see the every-changing layout when the restaurant opens in mid-July. “We have…
