Today my heart almost stopped when I almost hit a girl riding her bike. I was stopped at the stop light at Twin Rivers and Trumpeter Rd. The light turned green and the crosswalk had the stop sign. She sped across the crosswalk on her pink bike with no helmet on. It was getting a little dim (around 6:45pm). The car to the left of me was blocking visibility so I didn’t see her coming and almost hit her. I would estimate she was 8-10 years old, with a pink bike, African American, with long braids. I was so shaken up and called the non emergency line so that if they saw her riding around they could intervene. I hope a neighbor who knows her or parent sees this so they can teach bike safety. I don’t want this little girl to get hurt.

This morning was just my breaking point with this. Who allowed this? It's morning rush hour and both exits out of town are blocked! I could see if it were an emergency to do the single lane work overnight or at least in midday off peak hours. But this morning the line was backed up all the way to the mall.

Last year I took a hike in western Howard County, it was probably in the Patuxent River State Park system but I'm not certain of that. I'd like to go back and explore some more but I don't remember what the area was called and I've never been able to find it on the map again.

Not far in along the trail there was a row of abandoned and crumbling buildings covered in graffiti and riddled with bulletholes. I thought I took more pictures but this is the only one on my phone. The parking area was at a sharp bend in the road and could only hold two, maybe three cars max.

Please let me know if you know where this is!

Saw it earlier. Figured it was coming with them adding photo enforced to the speed limit signs. That's all.

i’m currently going to college out of state, but i was looking to knock out some math classes and maybe my physics requirements at hcc. specifically, i wanted to take phys 110 and maybe 111 and 112. for math, i was deciding whether to take 220, 240, 250, and/or 260 since i have to take the equivalent of those courses eventually. could someone who took any of these classes give some insight on whether it would be worth it to take it over the winter/summer?

Looking for a place that offers a good sports massage. I'm a laboror and amateur athlete. Gentle massages just don't do it for me. Even when I ask for a firm massage, it's not firm enough. I want my massage therapist to tenderize me like a tough cut of steak that's had meat mallet therapy applied. Obviously in the context of someone who knows what they're doing with athlete issues, but generally I feel best with something super firm.

Any recommendations for places and maybe specifically MTs I should request from there? Thanks.

My dog got dragged over a fence by a deer she caught in the backyard about an hour ago. She's a dachshund mix, brindle, about 22 lbs. she could be hurt and she has BIG FEELINGS. Help! If you live nearby please keep an eye out! Should have a harness and leash attached

I’m having the Balsamico Fantastico and it taste just like it sounds! I like tart for good measure! And I’m one and done because… This bike season one of my routes I’ve been taking pics throughout the harvest season. There is a farm, a bench, and some corn 🌽 crop. I started taking pictures there and continued throughout the 2026 year. It’s peaceful hare, owners & farmers and friendly & often check in to see if I’m broke down, have conversations about what I’m seeing as I’m not a farmer and time to time I see equipment in the field working… I even found out about Jenny’s Market sitting here a few months back… These are my stories….

Who has the best chicken wings in Columbia? No chains like Buffalo Wild Wings… have still yet to find a great place here.

As per my previous email, I have arranged for a drum circle to be held on October 30, 7pm, at Carroll Baldwin Hall in Savage MD. All are welcome. I was hoping for a venue in Columbia proper, but this place is not far, was fairly inexpensive, and has the perfect ambiance for a silly, spooky, time!
