The Cross Country area in Baltimore City, just south of Pikesville, is among northwest Baltimore's walkable communities.
Walkers were taking their customary constitutionals Monday during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot. Monday was also the federal Memorial Day holiday. Shavuot commemorates the giving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai 3,324 years ago. And Memorial Day honors men and women who died during military service for the US. Strolling is a common activity year-round in the Greenspring and Cross Country areas of northwest Baltimore and Pikesville. Even the warm temperatures Monday didn't stop walkers from getting their fill of holiday sunshine.

The shops on Smith Avenue near Greenspring Avenue are now served by a newly blacktopped parking lot.
The parking spaces are all at right angles, there are bright, white arrows directing traffic, and the blacktop is smoothe and new at Greenspring Shopping Center. There are more trees where trees in planters used to be, and the sidewalk into the center is wide and ready for Shabbat foot traffic. Construction equipment and barriers are no longer obstacles to shopping. The improvements made to the property, managed by Shopping Center Management Company Inc., include new lighting and repaving.

Residents report outages on Facebook pages for Pikesville Patch and WBAL-TV 11. BGE reports outages could be restored by Friday or Saturday.
While BGE reports that it has restored power to 600,000 customers in the 72 hours since Hurricane Irene came through the area, there are still 150,000 customers that don't have power. Pikesville Patch readers told us on Facebook where power is still out in our area of Baltimore County. We also found some on WBAL-TV 11's Facebook page. Here are some comments from Pikesville Patch Facebook conversations: 1:15 p.m. today: Rebecca Levin Kent, an architect with Levin/Brown and Associates, Inc., reported on Pikesville Patch's Facebook page that her power is still out in Pikesville, near Fort Garrison Elementary school. 10 a.m.: Dominique Farrow-Ray: "Its spotty in Gwynn Oak.

Some businesses were without power and closed Monday, while others were partially or fully operational.
Some businesses in Greenspring Shopping Center on Smith Avenue in Pikesville were closed Monday because they had no electrical power. But some, like Shoppers Food, were fully operating. At the center, it was hit-or-miss whether a store would have power. Outside Miller's Delicatessen, a sidewalk sign announced that there would be only cold food served. Inside, the seating area and some refrigerated beverage coolers were illuminated, but the kitchen area in the center was dark. "We are a three-phase [electrical] system, so we lost one phase," said owner Jeff Karlin. "Our refrigeration is on ... but our exhaust fans are not. So that's why we're not cooking." The deli's normally extensive menu—from Reuben sandwiches to soups and sushi—was cut …
