What parts of Maryland should we keep rural -- and what should we open for development?  In Anne Arundel County, officials  are grappling with those decisions right now. County Executive John Leopold joins us as we talk about how Smart Growth plans play into the process.  Then – It's been a banner year for baby striped-bass in the Chesapeake Bay --but WHY? We ask Eric Durrell, a biologist in the Fisheries Service of the state Department of Natural Resources.  Plus: Tom Hall takes us behind the curtain at the Lyric Opera House for a glimpse of the renovations going on there.  And: Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck reviews the dark musical “Parade” at Ford’s Theater.
