Zuryna Livermore: Hey everyone,
and welcome back to Baltimore
County unfiltered, your go-to
guide for everything happening in
and around our slice of Maryland.
I'm your host and your favorite
marketing project manager, girly Zuryna.
If you're looking for something to get
into this weekend, I've got you covered.
Let's start with something delicious.
Baltimore County Restaurant Week
is still underway through the
end of this weekend, July t.
If you haven't made time for a good meal
out, this is your sign to do just that.
We're in challenging economic
times, so what better way to treat
yourself than with discounted meal
options at your favorite restaurants?
Who knows?
This could be your chance to try something
new or simply return to an old favorite.
Personally.
I always find myself back at
Lib's Grill in Perry Hall.
Their crab tots are to die
for, and they're on the
restaurant week menu this year.
So make sure you make your way over there.
When you go take a
picture and tag me in it.
But beyond the dining scene, I've
also been thinking a lot about the
quiet institutions in our county
that shape our everyday lives.
For me, the one that comes to mind is
the Baltimore County Public Library.
For those of you who don't know,
I was born and raised in Houston,
but spent a lot of my life here in
Baltimore, and the Baltimore County
Library was like a second home for me.
I spent so many hours in the
Parkville Library reading Gossip Girl
and Super Fudge, and honestly, it
became a place of creativity for me.
It's truly been crucial as
I've built my business and I
love taking my daughter there.
And now she has a love for the library.
Right now our library system is
offering everything from cooking
demos at the Woodlawn branch.
To story times for families and
even free vision exams for kids at
select locations, which is perfect
since school is about to start.
So make your way over to your local
library branch for more details.
Honestly, the library is one of the
last spaces that's truly open for
everyone with no questions asked.
It's honestly more than
just checking out books.
We need to realize that the library
is a community resource center.
And speaking of which.
I'm so honored to share that I'll be
partnering with the Perry Hall branch
to host an event called The Business
of Influence and Content Creation.
It'll be happening on July 24th from
six 30 to 7:30 PM whether you're
just starting to explore the content
creator space or you're a small
business owner trying to figure out how
influencer marketing actually works.
I would love to have you join me.
This workshop isn't gonna
be about going viral.
It's gonna be about how to be
intentional and build community,
all while using the DI Digital
tools to tell meaningful stories.
Now, the last piece of information
that I wanna share with you is the
final report and recommendations from
the Baltimore County Redistricting
Commission is available on
the County Commission website.
Now, if you refer back to a
previous Baltimore County.
Unfiltered episode.
I talked all about the redistricting issue
and what this means for us, so I encourage
you to go back and listen to that.
But more than anything, I really want
you to check out that new report and
recommendations and ask questions.
Talk to your county representatives
because this is really gonna make
a big impact for everyone involved.
It's going to impact how resources
are distributed, and you just wanna
make sure your voice is heard.
Thank you so much for joining
me for this week's episode of
Baltimore County Unfiltered.
This is really a passion project
of mine, so thank you as always.
And if you know of an event happening
in Baltimore County, or you have a
concern about something happening in
your neighborhood, maybe you need a
speed bump installed or a traffic light
needs to be fixed, or you just have a
community story that you wanna share.
Send me a message on Instagram at
Operations Unfiltered or at Lady Z
says, I'll include all of that in the
episode description, but until next
time, stay informed, stay connected,
and as always, stay unfiltered.
