Havre de Grace Mayor Wayne Dougherty is in agreement with County Executive David Craig that a riverboat casino would benefit Harford County and the surrounding region.
Wayne Dougherty and his wife, Mary, used to manage a travel agency. On occasion, they'd take trips to the Mississippi River, where paddleboat casinos are a big business. "It was a big hit," Dougherty said. The Havre de Grace mayor told Patch Wednesday he is intrigued by the idea of a riverboat casino on the Susquehanna River—an idea first presented by County Executive David Craig Tuesday to a special work group on gaming expansion in Maryland. According to a statement from his office released on Tuesday, Craig said: "Given our location at the head of the Chesapeake Bay, I think it would be worthwhile to consider a riverboat casino for Harford County.

Havre de Grace Main Street recently launched an initiative to support local shops.
A cash mob. The idea was first pitched to me by then-Havre de Grace City Councilman Jim Miller in late January or early February. The idea: to drive customers to a locally-owned business at a pre-planned time, much like a flash mob, to purchase items to help boost business at the establishment. Pretty good idea, right? Well Havre de Grace Main Street has a similar initiative underway in downtown Havre de Grace, boosting business with the "Mob The Merchant" campaign. Two weeks ago, the mob hit Goll's Bakery. Saturday, they'll descend upon Java By The Bay. So what if we started one here in Aberdeen? Where would you want to support? What merchant could use a short-term injection of business? I realize Havre de Grace has a higher ratio of mom-…
