Hey all! Anybody know of any tenant's Rights lawyers here in Frederick? Friend of mine is facing a situation and we're trying to see what his options are. Bonus points if they're free first consultation...

Thanks in advance!

Why are lobbyists allowed to be elected officials in Frederick County? Feels like a clear conflict of interests

So my wife got a message saying she got the wrong party ballot (she didn't, it was Democrat) and would receive another. Has anyone experienced this? Curious if it's happening to one party...🤔

I know it wasn't everyone's favorite, but Starvin Marvin was my go-to pizza place back in 2025. Unfortunately, they announced in November that they would be closing, with the restaurant potentially being sold to new owners in the future. So, I was a bit surprised when I got a random text message today, saying that they were still open.

As it turns out, the sale fell through: https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/starvin-marvin-pizzeria-to-remain-open-in-frederick-after-sale-fell-through/ar-AA1WtnFT

Just wanted to share the news on here, because their closing announcement was widely reported but this is the first I'm hearing of them still being open. I'm sure their sales took a big hit after having to reverse course on the closing, so I'm planning on helping them out by ordering again in the near future.

My home is about 1,700 sq ft, and my last two electric bills have each been over $900. It’s an older house, so that may be part of the issue, but I’m trying to figure out whether solar panels are actually worth the investment. I’ve read a lot of mixed information online, so I’d really like to hear from people in the area who have them and can share their real‑world experience.

Thanks!

Hi All,

I recently got a job in Fredrick and possibly I am looking for a walkable/transit area to walk to work.

I won’t say my exact location but I’m wondering if there’s owners, property and anything to look out for when searching for rentals as a single renter.

If anyone knows a better way to search, such as facebook, a certain Reddit or Craigslist, etc, let me know!

Thank you all.

Hey everyone! Does anyone know if there are any hardcore/punk communities or places that host shows in the Maryland area? I'm hoping to get outside more this summer.

*** SATURDAY JUNE 20th

New York's CULTS have spent fifteen years perfecting the bittersweet anthem — songs that sound euphoric on the surface but cut you open underneath.

Formed in 2010 by Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion while both were students in New York City, the duo broke through almost immediately with their viral debut "Go Outside," earning both Best New Music honors from Pitchfork and a deal with Columbia Records quicker than most bands get a rehearsal space. Their self-titled debut landed in the top 50 albums of 2011 and launched them onto stages alongside Pixies and Vampire Weekend.

What followed was a decade of fearless evolution, resulting in five studio albums that never sounded like the same band twice. Their 2022 TikTok breakout "Gilded Lily" introduced them to an entirely new generation, while their 2024 album To the Ghosts is among the most emotionally precise records of their career.

Live, CULTS bring a full band and a sound that is bigger, louder, and more alive than anything their recordings suggest, while Follin commands the stage with a presence that stops rooms cold.

CULTS’ Saturday night headlining slot sits within a music lineup with additional acts to be announced in the coming weeks, alongside 125 film premieres and screenings, in-person filmmaker Q&As, and the festival’s entertainment industry talks and panels programming.

Previously announced marquee programming includes “Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror,” with director Linus O’Brien, son of Rocky Horror Show creator Richard O’Brien, attending for a live Q&A, followed by a presentation of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”; Sundance 2026 and SXSW 2026 official selection “Joybubbles”; and SXSW 2026 premiere “Their Town,” directed by Katie Aselton and written by Mark Duplass; alongside a hometown homecoming concert from American Idol breakout star Rae Boyd.

I've neglected my dental care for a long time and likely need some major work done. I know I have receding gums and possible gum disease. There may be issues beyond basic dentistry as well.

I'd like to fix this situation. From what I understand, I need a dentist to coordinate my overall care, but may also end up needing specialists such as periodontists (for gum disease), endodontists (for root canals / nerve issues), oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and so on.

While I'm sure there are many dentists who have referral relationships with specialists, I'm wondering if there are practices in or near Frederick that either have multiple specialties in-house or are particularly good at coordinating more complex treatment plans. (I'm guessing it'll be simplest if all the specialists are in-house but I imagine it can work out OK either way.)

I plan to start with a comprehensive evaluation, to come up with a treatment plan.

Can anyone recommend a practice in or near Frederick that handles more complex cases well? Bonus points if they won't try to sell me procedures I don't need. Not necessarily looking for the cheapest, or the friendliest, or the most gentle. Mainly I'm looking for the most advanced.

Hello. I am from Slovakia and I will work as a lifeguard in your town for my summer job. In my free time I would like to experience american culture. Do you have some tips? I mean some bars, events etc… thank you!

I lost count of how many Blackhawk helicopters went north and south, back and forth today between what must be Camp David and somewhere down south (Andrews AFB? Davison AAF)?

Anyone have an idea about what was going on? The activity was from this afternoon through about 22:00.

Hey friends, just wanted to send a note to the community that there is a guy in a Trone T-Shirt trying to enter homes when the doorbell isn’t answered. Just caught him red-handed on 4th st.

Hi! Does anyone know a spot that’s hosting or willing to host the Summerhouse reunion?

I’m honestly embarrassed and exhausted, but I don’t know where else to turn right now.

I’m a few months behind financially and unable to keep up with rent, utilities, and my car payment. Housing voucher wait lists are closed and it is not something I plan to need long term anyway. Social services has basically told me there’s nothing available, and I’ve been applying for jobs nonstop without getting responses yet.

I can work, but I’m limited to desk jobs because of a very serious injury. Trying to push through it has only made the injury worse. I am really limited on standing so I need a mostly sit down job. I’d probably qualify for partial disability, but from what I understand that process can take years, and I can’t afford to lose my housing and everything else while waiting and I would much rather be working anyway.

What makes this harder is how isolating it feels. People always say “reach out” or “there’s always someone who cares,” but when you actually need help financially or practically, those conversations seem to disappear. I don’t have family or a support system I can lean on during this temporary setback.

I’m not asking for pity — I genuinely just need advice, resources, ideas, or direction from anyone who has been through this before. Are there programs, charities, churches, emergency assistance options, desk jobs that people are hiring for (I have sent in countless applications with no replies), or anything else I may not know about? I’m trying hard to stay afloat - but I am rapidly sinking - and I’m overwhelmed. I do have enough food and clothing so those are resources that I do not need.

Thank you to anyone who reads this or responds kindly.

Hey all. I received a speeding ticket on 15N past Libertytown by a state patrol officer. . I was speeding -- but I was going with the flow of traffic. I have not had a speeding ticket in 15+ years. Is this worth going to court to ask for forgiveness or a warning versus the speeding ticket and fine? Do officers always show up? I know sometimes if they don't show the case is dismissed, but again I have not had to deal with this in so long... Please don't comment anything negative. Just looking for options on how to get this off my record, which has been clean for a very very long time.
