Baltimore-area Patch readers speak their minds.
This past week, Patch readers got riled about concert venue closures, Sonic coming to town, pet cemeteries and more.

County records show two recent incidents at the Towson bar where a melee broke out Sunday morning.
Four days before a melee outside the Recher Theatre, county officials met with an owner of the bar to discuss security and crowd control measures. The meeting, which was at the request of Brian Recher, was in response to a letter sent by the county Liquor Board Commission after a minor incident in August, according to Mike Mohler, chief administrator for the board.
