## Resource

A ten-story building in Glen Burnie, Empire Towers, is deemed structurally unsafe after just going up Friday evening, forcing a 150-foot safety zone around it — roughly 1.5 times its height. Roads including Crain and Ritchie Highways are rerouted via 8th Ave and Route 648, with traffic jams expected on Route 2 southbound. The fire department confirmed no one should enter, impacting businesses like the American Red Cross blood donation center. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely to ensure public safety while managing the unstable structure. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
