After pulling off an unlikely win in their NFL divisional playoff game in Denver, Lewis' farewell tour will make at least one more stop: next Sunday at in Foxborough, MA, meeting the New England Patriots with the AFC championship and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. As of last week, the last of the store's signed photo canvases of Lewis—priced at about $300—sold out, according to manager P.J. Tebin. Signed …

The new fitness studio, located at Baltimore Crossroads @ 95, attracted hundreds to its grand opening earlier this month.
Healthy was not the word used to describe Lydia Haskell as a child. At 2, Haskell became deathly ill with pneumonia. Three years later, what started as a bruised hip following a tricycle accident turned into another near-death experience as the injury led to a severe staph infection. Her condition was so grave that a priest gave her last rites twice. That was more than 40 years ago. Today, Haskell is the definition of "healthy," having spent the last 20 years promoting a healthy lifestyle as a fitness instructor, NFL cheerleader and fitness competitor. Haskell has since took that passion to a new level with the recent opening earlier this month of The Fitness Rave at Baltimore Crossroads @ 95 in White Marsh. The 8,400-square-foot fitness …

Eight of the famous Budweiser Clydesdales made their way through Baltimore this weekend, including a stop Friday at The Avenue in White Marsh. The Clydesdales came to Maryland in three large tractor trailers from a stable located near the Anheuser-Busch brewery in Merrimack, NH. Dozens of people posed for pictures with the horses at The Avenue and learned a little more about them besides being in beer commercials. Handlers of the horses said they grow to be around 18 hands tall and weigh more than 2,000 pounds. Clydesdales also drink 30 gallons of water, 50 pounds of hay and 10-12 pounds of oats a day. The clydesdales were originally supposed to be at The Avenue in May close to the Preakness, but poor weather caused the appearance to be …
