somebody to drive by this morning and see that there may have been a car back there. >> it's heartbreaking news to friends in the neighborhood where he lived until recently. many knew quest since middle school. >> he had a lot of friends. very popular. he always dressed very different, but it was cool. everyone liked it. i don't know, it is really sad and doesn't seem real. state police say as part of an investigation into a crash like this, they do have to look at whether alcohol or drugs were involved. we'll continue to follow it. don, back to you. >> logan was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. baltimore county investigators are trying to figure out what erupted this boat in flames yesterday. the flames quickly consumed the cabin of the boat as you see. no injuries are reported. it's the capital of our state, but many shops aren't making the capital to stay in business. many businesses are saying good-

bye to main street annapolis. >> several annapolis shops have closed just in the last week. one owner tells me off camera that it all boils down to the fact that shoppers are just not spending what they used to. >> downtown annapolis filled with visitors year round, thanks to state government and the naval academy, not escaped the sluggish academy. >> a lot of businesses are struggling and there is going to be a transition downtown. >> bill owns six downtown commercial buildings, one tenant has gone dark on busy main street. >> food traffic is not buying as much as they were because of the economy right now. >> he is not alone. the chesapeake trading company had its day on sunday here on main street in annapolis, although there is another tenant coming in. that brings a grand total of vacancies to 14. >> perhaps concern is not the right word. we have a challenge ahead of us and we need to work the challenge. >> the annapolis downtown

downturn mimics other cities like baltimore. where restaurants and stores have shut their doors in the last year since the economy went sour. >> some of those small businesses are marginally capt.ized. when you see a downturn like we have been experiencing, some of those businesses aren't going to survive. >> the city needs to focus on marketing the areas best assets. the capitol, the water, and the history. >> if we can merchandise the downtown area, around those three key, viable and attractive components, then we will have success as we start growing our way out of this economy. >> some of the vacant store fronts we showed you, like the one owned by mr. greenfield, those spots already have a company interested in signing a new lease. reporting from fedhill, kelly, wjz eyewitness news. >> also, a warning from baltimore city officials about a telephone scam. the department of public works says numerous senior citizens

are being called by fake utility workers, claiming they are past due on their water bills. the camera goes to threaten to turn off the water service. it never contacted the customer by phone, only by mail. and in the good news category, this winter's heating bills are expected to stay where they were last year and may be lower. analysts aren't expecting a spike this season. it's believed people who heat their homes with electricity will pay slightly less than last winter as well and those who use natural gas and propane can expect a significant loss in their heating bills. the ravens are seeing their work on the offensive line pay off. the team is having a great success on offense. the coach says much of the credit goes to the big guys up front clearing the way. three times against cleveland on sunday, runningbacks rushed into the end zone without ever being touched by a brown. >> they are constantly before

meetings or after meetings, during breaks in practice, they are working on assignments and techniques. so i think it's a credit and product of work. they are also very talented guys and they play really hard. those plays are clean plays. it's not very often in this league you see that. >> they are working for next weekend. they will travel to massachusetts for a game with the new england patriots. you can see that game at 1:00 this sunday afternoon right here on wjz13. afterwards, stay tuned for our special post game coverage. then catch marty and the bulldogs and mary at the espn zone for a little football talk. >> here is marty and mary tailgating. it was her birthday last weekend. mary, the husband, and the kids were down. it will be great having mary join the bulldog and i. mary is a football fan. she does well with the football challenge. i want to point out one other

to embarrass her. >> but after i saw him dance the first time, i said he's going to be fine. >> not everybody loves to dance, but everybody loves to eat and every football fan loves to tailgate. what do you have going on with this great pork recipe challenge? >> well, as you know, you may not know this, but 42% of the people who are tailgating, prefer pork over any other meat. so what we are doing right now, we are showing people and giving people an opportunity to enter into the contest. you can go to the otherwhitemeat.com and join in at the great pork recipe playoff and submit your recipe as a recipe that can be voted on and if you are voted as the one recipe to win, you can join me at the big game in miami and we can have our own tailgating party. our own cookoff, our own challenge with my ribs, your ribs, your pork shoulders, my pork shoulders.

your pork loins, my pork loins. we can have a ball. >> the food there you have looks fantastic. >> we have some corn here. we have some coleslaw. we have some chips. >> we have emmett's favorite, famous ribs also on the grill. which are amazing. emmett has an awesome recipe, where he uses cayenne pepper, garlic salt, liquid smoke, pepper, he marinates them overnight in a zip lock bag or a big container. it is absolutely amazing. he is kind of modest about it, but i got to brag on him a little bit. >> it's generally marinated in a big container. we normally fixing about 7 to 8, maybe 10 slabs of ribs at a time. so therefore, i have to prepare my meat the night before. i have to make sure my heat is perfect. i have to get my temperature up to 200, 250.

when i put the meat on there, the smoke is coming. you can smell the smoke throughout the neighborhood. i have birds flying around, hanging out on the walls watching me cook, because it is smelling so good in the neighborhood. >> not only does this man dance and play football, but he is a good griller, too. >> you got it made, pat. >> i got it made. >> look, as long as we are talking football, what do you think of the ravens this year? because we are all big fans on this end. >> i think the ravens are going to do fine. i think joe did a great job last year and he should be turning the corner now. i expect a lot more from him. but i think the baltimore fans are expecting joe to continue to turn the corner and get that ravens team headed in the right direction. they have a great leader over there, ray lewis and ed reed back in the secondary. so your team in baltimore should be competing against the titans and many other teams in the afc side and having a chance to really truly make the playoffs this year. >> and also, i wish you luck

in 2010 hall of fame voting. >> well, i appreciate it. i tell you, i'm nominated in january. hopefully i'm voted in or nominated this year and hopefully i'm voted in. if i'm voted in, trust me, believe me, the tailgate party, you ain't seen a party like a tailgate party we are going to have. it's going to be a nice time. >> lots of ribs. thank you very much. >> lots of ribs. >> i'm going to write down your recipe from the otherwhitemeat.com for your tailgate ribs and maybe enter the contest. >> you won't get the whole entire recipe. you are going to get some of it. >> oh, come on. >> the secret side, huh? >> i have to keep some of it for myself. >> all right. >> no one is taking my recipe and competing against me with my own recipe. >> when i win the contest, i'll come down and eat your
