Responding to a question at Bulle Rock's candidate night about his plans for retail, Dougherty said that a developer was interested in the old Pabst building for a residential-commercial development but the financing fell through at the last minute.

The carryout seafood store on US Route 40 has changed hands.

Gibby’s Seafood is "coming soon," a sign along Pulaski Highway in Havre de Grace reads. Craig Heuman, who lives in Abingdon, said he bought the property at 921 Pulaski Highway in March.
