Jeff Salkin and Sloane Brown host this weekly program on "people, places, and issues" from around Maryland, with this episode focusing on a proposal to use camera surveillance in Baltimore City, technology to improve traffic congestion, the Intercounty Connector, Adams Bank, and telecommuting. Annette Gibbs-Davis reports on the proposal to use cameras to deter crime in Baltimore with comments from Kurt Schmoke (Mayor, Baltimore City), Laurie Schwartz (Downtown Partnership), Lee Giles (Tacoma, WA Police Department), Stuart Comstock-Gay (Executive Director, Maryland ACLU), Ousmane Ndiaye, Scott Rice, and Sonya Rice (merchants), and Mike Rogers (Oracle Surveillance Co.). In the segment on how technology is monitoring and improving traffic congestion statewide, Erin Beth Levitt talks to Stephen Kuciemba (State Transportation Official) and Federico Pena (U.S. Transportation Secretary).

Annette Gibbs-Davis reports on an attempted takeover of the Adams National Bank, which is historically significant as the first federally chartered women's bank, speaking with Barbara Davis Blum (President and CEO), Clarence James (board member), and Peggy McCormick and John Agerholm (customers).
