		<title>Grace&#8217;s Restaurant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently met some folks at Grace&#8217;s.  I had heard before it was supposed to be nice…the &#8220;new spot&#8221; to chill. Grace&#8217;s is beside the &#8220;new&#8221; Shopper&#8217;s in the Vista Gardens Marketplace Plaza in Bowie, MD.  It was kind of an older crowd there, but very tame.  I had the chicken wings, [...]]]></description>

I guess the 90s old school term would be that these kids are &#8220;strapped&#8221;, but whatever you call it, this is ludicrous!

(Random pet peeve &#8212; The use of &#8220;brotha&#8221; and &#8220;sista&#8221; feels so 80s to me!  Is that just me?)

		<title>Carjacking Down 29% In Prince George&#8217;s</title>
