Good morning, Baltimore. This is Morgan Riley with your local news update for Tuesday, April 1, 2025.
Word on the streets of Baltimore is that the city is abuzz with excitement as we kick off a month filled with vibrant events and community gatherings. But first, let's dive into our top stories.
In a significant development for our city's education landscape, Goucher College and Edenwald Senior Living have announced an innovative collaboration. This partnership will create Maryland's first university-based retirement community, blending Goucher's educational programs with Edenwald's senior living amenities. The expansion will include 127 new apartments and offer residents unique access to Goucher's resources, including auditing classes and participating in study abroad programs alongside undergraduates. It's a forward-thinking approach to lifelong learning and community building.
Moving to recent events, protests erupted yesterday outside a local law school in response to a visit from Kevin Roberts, author of Project 2025. The demonstration highlighted the ongoing debates surrounding political ideologies and their impact on our city's diverse population. As always, Baltimore remains a city where voices are heard and dialogue is encouraged.
Now, let's shift gears to a story that embodies the creative spirit of our city. The Big Baltimore Kite Festival is set to return to Patterson Park this Saturday, April 5th. This free event promises to fill our skies with vibrant colors and celebrate the diverse cultures that make up our beloved Baltimore. From noon to 4 PM, families can enjoy kite-making workshops, music, and food vendors. It's a perfect opportunity to welcome spring and connect with our community.
Looking ahead to the weekend, we're in for some pleasant weather. Expect milder temperatures on Friday afternoon with scattered showers possible. Saturday will bring a warm front, with temperatures reaching up to 80 degrees – perfect for outdoor activities like the kite festival.
As we wrap up today's update, I'm reminded of how events like the kite festival and the Goucher-Edenwald partnership showcase Baltimore's ability to innovate and bring people together. In a world that often feels divided, our city continues to find ways to build bridges and create shared experiences.
