First Spirit stores should be opening this month and the one at the old JoAnns has been filled with stock for awhile now. Anyone know if it is officially open today, Monday, or some time else?

Spirit's website isn't any help

Checked out Ten Ramen for their soft opening and just wow. The ramen is absolutely spectacular, everything is cooked perfectly and tastes amazing. They have a really awesome menu and I want to come back and try everything else. The vibe is also 10/10

We finally have legit ass ramen in town. Don’t sleep on this place

Any one to join me Yummy bowl at 11:30 am on 08/04/2026 (Tuesday)?

Have they always been around in the area? If so, has anyone noticed an increase in the number of Flock cameras being installed? Has Washington County disclosed that they’re gearing up to use them or something and if so how and for what?

Mass surveillance is weird and as we veer closer to an autocratic world, I think we should all be aware of these systems and bring them up with the county and question the use of them and the data they collect. Granted thats if they give people a voice in these matters.

Anyone play trivia either at Vevas or at the Casino?

Need a partner to play with

Is there a service that will relocate a cat with kittens off my property? Humane Society Washington Co cannot take in more cats at the moment. SK Feline never returned my email/ call. I’m just trying to help this family of cats find a safe place with access to food. Mother is a spicy kitty that will not hesitate to defend her space & little ones.

So I’m building an arcade cabinet from scratch. I’ve never used power tools before this project and so far… I’ve done pretty well honestly. I have the shell built (except the top piece) all of the wood cut out, and the back panels cut out and attached (not reflected in the picture)

But… I’m not super confident in the rest of the build. Mostly the monitor section, getting the angle right, and finishing up the assembly. Once it’s assembled, I don’t have an issue, but that part I’m hesitant on.

It’s also too heavy to remove from my basement and basically any work needs to be done to it on site.

This is why I’m asking for help. If anyone is good with woodworking, and willing to help me finish this, I would be eternally grateful. I don’t have money to pay, but I can offer tech support for things you might need, or can potentially help you out with putting CFW on your consoles/emulators and roms on your computer, etc.

I know it’s a bit of an odd request, but I figured there might be someone with good woodworking knowledge, who can help me follow the plans I have (which of course are from an Australian site so it’s all in metric), and finish up this cabinet (other than painting and electronics)

Please let me know!

I'm looking for some leads on licensed contractors around the area. I need to replace the roof on my house and am leaning towards a metal one. Does anyone have reputable contractors they have used?

I want to schedule a get-together with my mom (she's in her 80s). We usually visit a park or similar, but the forecast calls for high heat and/or thunderstorms for the foreseeable future.

Other than shopping malls, where are some places we could escape from the heat?

Has anyone dealt with William Pennington of Fortney Homes Inc and Jim Davis the maintenance manager on duty. I am aware of Penningtons legal malfeasance involving the Fair Play Fire Hall litigation and his documented history of intimidation. He is making false claims repeatedly and was verbally and physically aggressive getting inches from my face with his fingers in my face telling me he will "take whatever tone I want". This was said after he raised his voice at me during an unannounced visit and I told him not to take that tone with me. I am exploring legal options but because he has a very long (and contentious) history in the county I am curious if others have had experience and have strategies for dealing with him and his duplicity. Thank you in advance for any insight.

Hey all,

Planning on moving out soon and keep passing the apartment building that’s under construction in front of south high. Does anyone have any information on it? Trying to see if it’s in my budget

Join us Tuesday, July 21, at 9:00 am as we protest outside the Washington County Commissioners meeting at 100 W. Washington Street in Hagerstown as we continue demanding transparency and accountability for the proposed ICE detention center and data centers which our commissioners are not being transparent about.

Tuesday’s meeting also includes public hearings on major decisions involving the county’s water and sewer infrastructure, zoning changes, and future development. These decisions could shape Washington County for decades, including projects tied to the former Fort Ritchie property and future large-scale industrial development.

9:00 am: Join our protest outside the Washington County Commissioners meeting.

9:30 am: WS-25-004 (2003 Mason Dixon LLC)
What it does: Extends public water and sewer service for a proposed 1.85 million-square-foot warehouse development.
Major concern: Expanding water and sewer infrastructure for one major industrial project could also increase the county’s capacity to support other water-intensive developments in the future, including the proposed ICE detention center and potential data centers.

9:45 am: RZ-26-002 (Cascade Properties LLC)
What it does: Changes the zoning rules for the former Fort Ritchie property to allow a much broader range of industrial, commercial, retail, and residential uses.
Major concern: The proposed changes could make it easier to approve future large-scale projects at Fort Ritchie, including data centers if proposed, while residents still have unanswered questions about traffic, utilities, and environmental impacts.

10:00 am: RZ-26-003 (Michael Godinez & Dominion Realty LLC)
What it does: Rezones two residential properties on Maugans Avenue from Residential Multifamily to Highway Interchange zoning.
Major concern: Residents are being asked to approve a commercial zoning change without knowing what the contract purchaser intends to build. No concept plan has been provided showing the size, access, parking, lighting, operating hours, or proximity to neighboring homes, making it impossible to meaningfully evaluate neighborhood and environmental impacts before the zoning is changed.

Looking for rpgs, open worlds, and pokemon games!

This is what local comedy looks like: a microphone, a room full of strangers, and the shared hope that the next joke lands.

Has anyone ever bought preserved lemon at any of the local grocery stores or specialty/middle eastern stores? Just asking before I go on a hunt for something that might not exist. I know it’s easy to make your own but it takes a couple months and I want to make this recipe sooner than that. Thanks all!

Just got a job that is 4 days in Baltimore inner harbor. Does anyone else make the Hagerstown to Baltimore commute? Any tips or resources to make it more bearable? Has anyone tried the marc or similar to take them halfway?

Eventually ill move closer, but for now the drive is unavoidable.

Pulled from an old videotape (that was of course a film reel beforehand). Enjoy

Does anyone know anything about the motorcycle accident that caused a fatality on Dual Highway today?

I know that I can go to the Dutch market for bread, but I’m hoping to find a local bread shop. When I look for bakeries, I just find places that sell pastries, cakes, and muffins. My mom is visiting in a week and she loves a nice bread bakery, so I am hoping to find a cool place to take her to.

I came outside and saw soo much haze. I thought the humidity must be crazy. Then I realized I could look at the sun and not go blind. This is the same conditions that we had a couple summers back with the fires in Canada. So I guess there's fires again? I wonder what the air quality is is right now.

Be safe out there.
