Restaurant inspections map expanded

Just in case you haven't noticed, BaltimoreSun.com's map of health department violations now includes Howard County restaurants. The only surprise I noticed was the Elkridge Furnace Inn. (I mean, who cares if Party! Party! Party! had a "housekeeping" violation? Come to my house if you want to see a housekeeping violation.)

Of course, by Baltimore city standards, the Elkridge Furnace Inn's violations were tame:

(12B) Cleanliness; storage; use, (13B) Screens; control means, (16A) Walls; floors; ceilings; windows; doors - clean; repair; construction, (16C) Lighting; ventilation. Inspected on: Dec 28, 2007

I attempted, to no avail, to find the same info for Baltimore County restaurants. What a joke. It is as though they do not want you go know this info. Bad Baltimore County!

I always hate when I am reminded about this website - thanks EL! I was shocked to see a very well known and highly regarded/rated restaurant was shut down just 2 months ago for a mouse infestation...gack!

I find it a useful service, though I'm wondering why it always lags 2-3 months behind.

I wish they'd add Anne Arundel. I've had problems with some of the grocery stores in my area and always wonder about the restaurants.

I used to wait tables in a few different restaurants around the county and city. Trust me....You do NOT want to know. If you did, you wouldn't eat out ever again.

I look at it this way, you've been eating out all of your life and haven't died yet, you're fine! lol
