Does anyone know what happened to Cypriana restaurant in Maple Lawn? We were disappointed in that we found it closed yesterday. Google Maps labels it as temporarily closed. Website is gone. We hope it is temporary. We thought it was a great restaurant.
Remember when Howard County used to have the Vo Tech school?
As I recall, students who went there spent 1/2 day there after 1/2 at their regular school.
If you went there, what was the experience like?
My child is starting HCPSS Pre-K soon, and I’d love advice from parents who’ve been through it. What did you buy that was actually a must-have, and what was unnecessary?
Also wondering about:
Lunch/snacks — does HCPSS provide school meals for Pre-K, or do kids bring lunch?
What does a typical daily routine look like?
Any tips for getting your child into a good school/morning routine?
Anything you wish you had known or prepared before the first day?
Would especially appreciate HCPSS-specific advice!
Actually a life saver I can go get groceries, use the library and run other errands without using da bus which takes 2 hours for a 15 minute drive.Its also free for Howard community college students.I think Everyone should take advantage of rapid ride so more routes are added.Its two dollars for a trip which is da same amount as bus fair .Sometimes rides won’t be available though:(
Hi everyone, I know this is an incredible long shot however I am still going to try- my mother left me this Halloween village, and unfortunately my husband left it outside of our storage unit at Public Storage in Ellicott City. By the time we realized it and went back, it was gone.
I’m incredibly upset both as it was something my mom left me and that it wasn’t meant to be left out. I know it’s a long shot but I’m trying. It’s in a clear tote with a white lid
If you’ve seen it, please let me know.
Hi I just moved from Hawaii to Maryland in Columbia.Is there any advice for me on taking da bus here? Hawaii had a good bus system and was easy to get around but I herd da bus system in Columbia isn’t da best and everywhere takes two hours to get to.I get bad panic attacks if I drive.I’ve taken a driving course and I’m on anxiety medication but I still panic to where I’ll throw up .I start school late August at Howard community college and I really need to find a route that doesn’t take two years to get to and from.
