Local stores hope to live with Lowe's
Many say they're undaunted by giant's planned opening in Baltimore

Since he opened the store in May, Waverly's Ace Hardware co-owner John Elliott has come to know many of the residents who stop in to buy light switches or batteries or get a screen repaired. Elliott expects to hang onto those customers, despite the price competition that's sure to come if a large Lowe's home improvement store opens nearby. The first Lowe's in Baltimore City is proposed as part of a developer's $65 million plan for a site straddling Charles Village and Remington.

Weekend Roundup

Amazing how this year is flying by, isn't it? It's almost Thanksgiving!

Friday

Bruce Springsteen in concert - The Boss is back in Baltimore for the first time in 36 years. Tickets to the show at 1st Mariner Arena sold out in 20 minutes, so if you want to catch this historic performance, you'll have to pay a pretty penny - but they are available on StubHub.

Jim Gaffigan in concert - The hilarious dry humor of Midwestern comic extraordinaire Jim Gaffigan comes to the Lyric Opera House. If you haven't heard Gaffigan's musings on Hot Pockets and Popeye's, well, you're missing out. Tickets start at $33.75 and are available online.

Saturday

Santa arrives at Harborplace - It's officially the Christmas season. St. Nick rolls into the Inner Harbor for the inaugural Santa House lighting. The Heart of Maryland Chorus will be performing Christmas carols at the event, held in the amphitheater. The festivities begin at 4:30 p.m.

Sunday

Ravens vs Colts - If you doubted how much the Colts meant to the city of Baltimore, watch native son Barry Levinson's outstanding documentary on the subject, The Band That Wouldn't Die. Not like this match-up needs any more juice, but Peyton Manning and the Colts are looking like the class of the AFC this year. They're undefeated (and their kicker, Matt Stover, hasn't missed all year). Tickets to the tussle at M&T Bank Stadium will be tough to come by, but once again, you can get them on StubHub if you're willing to pay. Kickoff is at 1 p.m.

This is Jeopardy...

Well, the celebrity edition, anyway. On tomorrow's show (7 p.m., Channel 2), three "celebrity" contestants compete in the Jeopardy Million Dollar Celebrity Challenge. Among the trio is Robin Quivers, sidekick on the Howard Stern Show.

Quivers is a Baltimore native, and tomorrow night she'll be playing for the SEED School of Maryland, a statewide, public college preparatory boarding school that presents students from across the state with an opportunity to receive a tuition-free education that prepares them for success in college and beyond.

Kudos to Quivers, who has been the King of All Media's newswoman for more than 25 years. No matter what you think of Stern, you certainly can support the SEED School, which opened in August 2008.

Go Robin!

It's located in the Center for the Arts at the corner of Osler and Cross Campus Drives. The Asian Arts Gallery is on the second floor of the building, room 2037. Parking and direction information is available online.

Are You Ready For Monday Night Football?

There's just about 9 hours until kickoff of the Ravens-Browns game. While the game almost was blacked out in Cleveland (the team stepped up and bought the remaining tickets to ensure a sellout and avoid a local TV blackout), it will be on (many, many) televisions in Baltimore.

If you're heading out to watch it, check out my list of top spots around town to take in a game. If not, crack a cold one, sit back in the recliner and enjoy.

I'd love to hear your score predictions. The Browns are awful, but there were a lot of upsets yesterday in the NFL, proving anything can happen any time two NFL teams tussle.

For the record, I'm going with 27-13 Ravens.

Cocktails for a Cure

What could be better than relaxing with an after-work cocktail at the gleaming new bar at B&O Brasserie? How about knowing that a portion of the money you spent on that libation is going to fight HIV/AIDS.

Throughout November, the restaurant will donate $1 to the Whitman-Walker Clinic in Washington each time a guest orders one of four featured cocktails. The clinic focuses on HIV/AIDS education, prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

The featured cocktails are:

• Grapefruit Spritz - Ketel One Citroen vodka, Campari, and fresh grapefruit juice
• Bad Apple - Don Julio silver tequila, Lillet, Angostura bitters, apple juice, and ginger beer
• Orange Blossom Fizz - Belvedere Orange, St. Germain Elderflower liqueur, pineapple juice and sparkling
• Morning Daiquiri - Ten Cane rum, Grand Marnier shaken with fresh lime juice and orange marmalade

They all sound delicious, don't they? If forced to choose, I'd probably go with the Morning Daiquiri, but knowing $1 from each $9 cocktail goes to such a good cause, I just might have to try them all.

See, They Combined 'Group' and 'Coupon'...

Over the weekend someone sent me a link to the Web site Groupon.

It's a pretty simple concept. Each day a Baltimore business (the site also operates in a host of other cities) offers a coupon on Groupon. If enough people sign up for the deal, it becomes official. If not enough people do, the offer is rescinded.

Here's an example. Today's deal is $15 for one hour of bowling and shoe rental at Mustag Alley's in Little Italy (normally, that package would cost $31.50). When I logged on around 8:30 this morning, 10 of the required 20 people had signed up for the package. Now, just before 10, more than 25 have, meaning it's official. If the minimum hadn't been met, people who signed up for the deal wouldn't have been charged.

This form of social media marketing seems smart to me. It's a win-win for businesses and customers. Check it out when you get a minute. Maybe I'll see you at Mustag Alley's.

Charles Street: Let's Eat

As readers of this site know, I love food. Granted, I'm hungry as I write this (on Thursday evening), but I can't think of a single food item I won't eat. Cold borscht comes the closest.

That's why Charles Street: Let's Eat, an event happening tomorrow, caught my eye. From noon to 6 p.m. on Read Street between Charles and Cathedral streets, 10 Mount Vernon restaurants will be offering up samples of their cuisine. Drinks, live music, and even belly dancing are on the schedule.

Admission is free, and food and drink prices vary. Scanning the restaurants that will be there, I can tell you that there is certain to be some delicious food on the menu (Saschas 527 Restaurant and the Helmand are personal favorites).
