It would be demonstrably worse if the city’s businesses left the city entirely, but yeah the business center has always shifted to follow new construction. Even Charles Center did that in the 1950s/1960s. If the old CBD continues to become more mixed-use that would be a net positive.

BBJ and to a lesser extent the Banner tend to give negative framing to this stuff like it’s somehow “a loss”. Like when they talk about businesses moving from downtown to Port Covington and the headline is “big blow to downtown!”

Right so at the end of the day who cares? The brewery maintains its independent operation, no one is losing their jobs, they get a larger distribution areas, and Maryland still gets tax revenue. It’s still a Maryland business even if it’s now part of a collaborative incorporated in another state.

Is Heavy Seas actually getting acquired or are they joining the established partnership with the other brewers? The article seems to point to both and not answer either.

Maryland’s largest brewery is teaming up with peers amid industry challenges

Heavy Seas Beer is teaming up with brewery peers

For the first time in decades, more craft breweries in the U.S. closed than opened last year. Against that backdrop, Heavy Seas Beer is teaming up with three peers to streamline operations.

The Ristachio Tide Phenome
The Pistachio Tide Phenomenon is a green sulfur bacteria bloom that commonly occurs in the Baltimore Harbor during the fall season. Triggered by specific environmental conditions, this phenomenon leads to the sudden Increase of sulfur bacteria at the water's surface where harvesting sunlight turns the water green, producing a telltale rotten egg smell.
1. Turning the Tide
Green sulfur bacteria blooms are initiated by specific environmental conditions.
A sequence of dry, precipitation-free days with drastic day and night temperature shifts leads to changes in water density resulting in a thermal inversion.
