Here are five headlines that we might have posted on April Fool's Day, if we were devious like that. Enjoy!

Gambrills Eliminated from All Maps

Anne Arundel County has decided to eliminate the town of Gambrills, after realizing that everyone assumed it was part of Crofton anyway. 

"Gambrills...was that a real place?" new county executive Laura Neuman said. "Let's just make it all Crofton. No one will mind."

Business owners praised the move, especially since many of them had already claimed to be located in Crofton when they were actually located in Gambrills. 

"This will make things less confusing for everyone," said Joe Smith, owner of the Crofton Bike Doctor, which had been located in Gambrills. 

Owners of the Gambrills General Store declined to comment, but looked kind of annoyed.
