I know there isn't anything we can do about it. I just wish there was another option for us renters and the like. I WFH and the power goes out so frequently, and for hours at a time, that my employers are starting to become skeptical of it. I just sent a video, with my phones last remaining breath, showing that the power is in fact gone STILL. I can't even go around the corner to work because they also don't have power.

If there is a rep for PE in this sub reddit- can you guys please just leave town? Ill take a hamster on a wheel powering my toaster over whatever 'service' PE thinks they are providing.

Growing up in SoCal we would have a "taco man" cater parties where he would be cooking up meat in the backyard and have all the toppings and sides for them. Are there any catering equivalents in Frederick?

Hello,

Posting from a throw away account due to not wanting to deal with the backlash of not agreeing with church leadership. My family has been affected by our experience there. We’re not comfortable sharing publicly yet for fear of affecting people we care about who are still attending. Just trying to understand if it was just us who had an unfavorable experience.

I was driving west on I-70 toward Hagerstown when I saw this semi truck and thought, “Damn, how the hell did that happen?” I had no idea what had happened, but seeing the burned truck gave me chills. Maryland drivers, chill out and drive safely.

Good afternoon!

I recently opened Friends On Fern child care (license 263250) near Braddock Heights.

I have started a "Parent's Time Away" program because this is the exact care I would have loved when my child was little. Just enough time to run an errand or two, mop the floors, or read a few chapters :) A safe, loving environment for an affordable rate.

There is an opening on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 9-3pm for an infant under 18 months.

Ideal for a stay at home or work from home parent who needs a set day(s) of the week for meetings, appointments, volunteering at sibling's school, etc.

What makes Friends on Fern different?

- screen free care

-pet free environment

-low ratio

- Montessori mindset

- NEVER pay when FOF is closed!

Please reach out with any questions!

I might be little late to this, recently moved in. My apologies if Im late to the party.

I know there was a data center being built at old Alsco aluminum factory that got halted with moratorium, but seems like they have been discussing building massive, 5-6 lanes highway width power lines that goes through WV-VA-MD that lands right at Point of Rock, next to Adamstown? That sounds like they somehow know the data center plan is gonna go back 100% in their favor, just matter of time. Are we OK with this?

Are there any candidates who were speaking against this and the data center? Who are they and what were they promising?

Hey! Does anyone know of any makers/holiday markets coming up in Frederick or the surrounding areas? I have some stained and fused glass items to sell and missed the recent Gravel and Grind market.

Ok folks . I will try this for who ever else is on here from frederick that wants to meetup and socialize and have a time of positive good conversation. Im Quincey.

Im willing to start off with a coffee Meetup this Sunday November 1st at Dublin Roasters. 9am. No specific age group but im over 50 myself. Let's see what happens.

Im putting myself out there so don't leave me hanging.

Excited for responses.

Friend coming to visit Frederick November 7-12.
Really want to pick pumpkins for pie!

Why are there so many people dressed as cows tonight??

Hey yall, finally biting the bullet and making this post.

Im a 26M who moved to Frederick to be with my fiancee back in 2023 from Baltimore. Unfortunately as time goes on, the gap in distance between Baltimore area and Frederick has taken a toll on friendships.

That being said, it has been so difficult as an adult to make friends here. I feel like majority of my age goes out and drinks, but I already feel like I’m past my drinking age. I’d rather hangout and smoke.

It’s especially hard since I haven’t really discovered hobbies that allow me to meet people, and I’m too introverted to try those new hobbies alone anyway. I’ve basically used video games as my only hobby for the last decade, but I’m at the point I want to go out and do stuff.

If anyone has any ideas, or wants to be friends let me know. More than happy to chat 🙂

Barry Neustadt, tax director for Washington County data center developer Diversified Capital, contributed $1,000 to Senator Paul Corderman’s campaign in May 2026. Neustadt’s professional biography explicitly identifies his position with the company.

On October 14, Hagerstown Rapid Response asked Corderman whether he would return the contribution. We asked because Washington County Commissioner Jeff Cline had returned a $500 contribution from Diversified Capital CFO Moshe Rubin and a $250 contribution from Chris Shank, who is part of Diversified Capital’s project team. In his October 15 response, Corderman said his records identified Neustadt as a “Self Employed CPA” and said he had never met or spoken with him. He did not answer our question about whether he would return the money.

We had already identified Neustadt as Diversified Capital’s tax director in our question. Corderman’s response repeated what his campaign records said without addressing that connection. Residents still deserve a direct answer: Will he return the $1,000, or keep it?

This was what I saw first thing this morning. I get that the FNP didn’t make the sticker, but they certainly took the ad money and put it on the papers. It was jarring, seeing an anti-trans dog whistle in my own driveway. I’m going to cancel my subscription. A subscription that’s paid for by a community-supporting, tax paying trans person.

There are conversations to be had about trans kids (and adults) in sports, and about equity and kindness. This is not that. It’s hate dressed up in fairness doctrine from people who couldn’t care less about “girls’ sports.”

I’m looking into water softeners and the only thing I know about them is that they add salt to your drinking water. Since I have high blood pressure I don’t want that. Any advice for a complete newb?

If you work at the jail and would be so kind to DM me, I would greatly appreciate it 😃 thank you in advance 😃
